Major earthquakes hit the West coast of Japan this week - with the most powerful on Monday reaching a magnitude of 7.6. Yet despite this, fewer than 100 people have been confirmed killed so far.
Sky's Mickey Carroll explains how Japan became one of the most prepared countries in the world for earthquakes.

Super impressive! Japanese people always adapt fast

@billdoor3140 4 месяца назад

I mean this isn't. New thing. We learnt about this in school in the 80s. Japan builds building to sway with earthquakes they adapted at least 50 years ago.

The death toll is above 200 now. They made the video too soon.

@YOUTHOCD 4 месяца назад

⁠@@sherrylawrencelewis2544Because it seldom snows in the majority of the UK, at least to an extent that would require extensive infrastructure to manage, so there is no real use in prioritising already scarce resources to deal with its effects. Snow just isn’t that great an obstruction in most areas of the UK year round as it is in countries such as Finland, Russia and Canada. So we put a plaster over the wounds and wait for them to heal (in this case for the precipitation to pass).

Because we're stupid and don't learn from previous experiences..we are still using Victorian infrastructures to manage water..we don't dredge rivers anymore..don't clean out drains enough..and we keep building houses on flood plains....

This time in Noto peninsula, about 50% of houses were so old that not built / reinforced to meet the standard set in response for the major 1995 Hanshin Awaji earthquake. In rural area with aging populations, It’s still difficult to make it all earthquake resilient - even in Japan.

@nlwilson4892 4 месяца назад

But the traditional old buildings evolved to be pretty good at surviving earthquakes being timber framed with lightweight walls made from wattle and daub panels or wooden panels. So they still fair better than a lot of countries that have brick or stone constructions for older buildings.

@RendererEP 4 месяца назад

@@nlwilson4892 a lot of the older buildings have very heavy rooves supported by lightweight walls and are flammable. I wouldn't think those would be good at withstanding a powerful earthquake.

@nlwilson4892 4 месяца назад

@@RendererEP The heavyweight roof is an issue. But the timber frames flex with the shake so are better at withstanding quakes than brick or stone. The walls are lightweight so they cause less damage if they fall. Fire is a big problem but when I was there all houses had a couple of buckets of water ready to quickly put out any fire before it got started. Obviously that can only deal with the smaller ones.

@KittenBowl1 4 месяца назад

The standard was not set in 1995 but 1984. We know this as we Japanese only buy buildings built after 1984 to meet earthquake proof standards. Anything before that year it’s much cheaper and not worth selling or buying actually.

@Tatsuji_Tatchan 4 месяца назад

@@KittenBowl1 Our earthquake standards were set in 1981, not 1984.

From the end of 2024, the number and scale of natural disasters will increase many times over. The reason for this is entering the cosmic cycle of 12000 years. If we don't take action now, in 5-7 years it will be impossible to live on the planet. And not later than 2036 there will be a catastrophe, which will turn the Earth into a second Mars. We still have a chance to save the planet and our own lives. The analytical report and ways to solve the problem are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" (online forum).

@ericdeps 4 месяца назад

The 1923 earthquake in Tokyo caused more than 100,000 deaths because of traditional Japanese constructions which did not resist and fires because they were made of wood, the earthquakes of the 19th century caused tens of thousands of deaths . Traditional constructions have in fact never resisted earthquakes in Japan until the adoption of Western construction techniques and especially until Japan became rich enough to be able to build resistant constructions. The temples, sanctuaries and castles were no more resistant than the houses to earthquakes, fires and typhoons, but everything was rebuilt identically, which gives the impression that the buildings are very old when they are not. In all of Japan, the oldest house is from 1604 and there are only a few houses from the 17th century still standing. The rest is just myth and legend.
