holy crap - that level of destruction ---reminds me of the time I was in japan and went to see one of the 2 A bomb explosion sites * (Hiroshima)

the sight of a poor sad "human" being frozen in time screaming as they were vaporized into dust by the 10,.000 degree nuclear blast heat wave leaving nothing behind but a photo negitive type image of them etched into a part of a brick wall seared by the massive heat. --that image was one of few the real life truely "scary" things , (that I have seen several of ) that still haunts my mind to this very day. -- I must say -- I wept upon seeing it in pity for the poor soul it happened to. -- no true human being can see such things in person and no be "moved" by them --only a being with heart of stone could not be moved .

somethings are honestly "unfit" for human eyes to see.--the horror will scar you for life.

Japan sits on what is called the "Ring of Fire" , an arc or area of seismically active zones where earthquake and volcanic eruptions are common as is much of the western Pacific... It is the reason Japan has had so many earthquakes, and why they have some of the strictest building codes now for new buildings, basically making new buildings earthquake proof, now the old buildings are another story......... Shock absorbers are built into the foundations of new buildings
