alt Hacker NewsToday I got served this video "Earthquake and Liquefaction his Urayasu, Chiba 3/11/2011" [0], which is from the earthquake which caused the huge tsunami in Japan.
I have rarely seen something as scary as this.

The flood videos of towns, cars, and people being violently washed away are way scarier IMO.
Urayasu looks built on the water and all I see in the linked video is a threshold condition where the water is just barely peeking up through the ground below. People are still walking around, cars driving. There are far more chaotic and destructive scenes on youtube from that tsunami.

Terrifying. I know that Japan is earthquake-proofing its architecture but how about the underground infra? Do they have to dig and redo the pipes? The cables seem to be mostly overground (at least in this video) and are probably easier to repair (oldschool infra ftw).
