“There is a time for silence, and there is a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should SPEAK NOW"
Taylor Swift
The events that happened last week in Japan have left us speechless and on our knees. The news has been devastating but I wanted to shed light on a positive aspect. The damage could have been far worse and Thank God (or science) for that. The foundation of modern skyscrapers were intensely questioned after the events of 9/11. We all have our own opinions but after seeing the happening in Japan there is much to be learned. When it comes to engineering buildings there must be deep foundations and even seismic shock absorbers. These absorbers can bear the brunt of an earthquakes force and keep them from collapsing. The video below shows the how well-engineered the buildings in Japan were...Japanese engineer's deserve a round of applause...
