@@MelsemK, A hurricane is always known about in advance, its expected path is predicted usually days before. People can prepare, leave the area, board up their houses, and easily make themselves safe with lots of time. An earthquake is sudden, with no warning (maybe a few seconds with a very advanced early warning system.) More than 20,000 people died as a result of this earthquake and the tsunami it caused. I would definitely choose the hurricane too.
@Feetup. Yeah, obviously. Everyone would. I don't think there's any shame in calling your mom? What's the problem? She's probably terrified that you were injured or dead. To be perfectly honest, you're lucky to have a mom. I don't.
That day I was sitting with my dog in the kitchen. He started to cry and I was worried. Suddenly I big shake came. My parents ran down the stairs. We went out side to see if anyone needed help. There was one older lady who was holding on to a fence. She was crying. We gave her a glass of water and she started to come down. We went back inside and started to contact our family and friends. The only thing we could use was Facebook. My sister was still in school. When you live an hour away from home it's bad. She didn't come home intill 9:30. That was the only time I cried for my sister. I thought she wouldn't come home. Some kids in her school didn't come home till 12. The bus drivers where a struggle. A lot of there family's died. I am so happy that where I live is prepared for a earthquake. Most buildings still are alive. My house that has been here for 80 years survived and is still alive. I pray for those who are still recovering and who lost love ones.
Interesting how atleast one person just started speaking perfect midwestern english. "You don't want to go into the elevator right now". A well known earthquake phenomena.
Not really. It's emotional release. Some people laugh, while some people cry. Sometimes, it's hard for some people to tell, but it's not bad, as long as you're alive. I see laughing or crying as a sign of being alive.
I would just have a mental breakdown, cry a lot, then think that the world is going to end and all living beings will go extinct in the matter of minutes lol
I was in Tokyo Tower a little over a month ago. I can't imagine being up there during an earthquake. I would have wet my pants for sure. These people actually kept calm. Raally admire that.
amariluna It's a fact of life in Japan. Parents and staff have to keep cool to keep everyone else cool. You don't want any panic when you're confined to a building.
amariluna I was there a couple of months ago. Being that high and not used to heights was out of my comfort. I can't imagine adding an earthquake to it. Scary indeed.
This is NOT the top floor. It's the first observation deck which is only at 1/3 the way up the tower. Now the the 2nd observation tower, that's where the real shaking would have been, but thankfully no one was hurt at the time.

Since earthquakes often occur in Japan, most Japanese are accustomed to earthquakes. But I imagine that tourists who came to Japan from countries where earthquakes rarely happened would have been very scared.
I am Japanese high school student,17 years old,going to be grade 3 from April. I experienced earthquakes.I am not afraid of it. I always offer for earthquakes.
Wanna learn a fun fact: The Eiffel Tower's architecture is earthquake-proof. But there's no earthquake in Paris. This is probably how the Japanese architects drew their inspiration from (and how the Tokyo Tower was made). It was a prelude to the earthquake-proof buildings we know, and Japan did it 1000 times better.
It is not 9.0 magnitude earthquake proof, at least by design. It’s scored a 9/10 for structural integrity in regard to typical natural disaster. A 9.0 is NOT typical. And Japanese use seismic isolation base to combat earthquake damage and from what I have read, there is nothing like it. I’ve seen videos from the 2011 quake from inside 50th floors and there was hardly any noise or movement. And the sway is minimal considering the movement of the fohndation
It must have been terrifying for those who were in the high rise buildings. Thankfully Japan has excellent building codes, the high rises swayed, which they are designed to do. None of them collapsed, no lives lost in the city. The worst of it was the tsunami afterward.
I realize this was a horrible disaster for those living in the coastal cities but I just wanted to congratulate the Japanese on their high rise construction. Its incredible that they weathered a 9.0 and I haven't heard of one high rise collapse.
When like your at a earthquake with your son or baby or daughter is will be dangerous must protect the children and the parents if a big one hits people will get shook
Very dark day that day was over 20 thousand people killed in a matter of minutes and many more sadly will die from radiation poisoning in the future due to Tepco,s incompetence
I would not be standing near windows! Too easy to be ejected when building rocks and windows shatter. Japanese are all about preserving their public face no matter what. So the people who look unfazed may actually also be terrified. Japanese have earthquake drills from preschool on up. Japanese districts also have earthquake drills. They are taught to be quiet, walk to safer area and sit down.
I remember i was 5 at that time and was sitting in the airport. When everything started shaking badly. To good there wasnt any damage. I thought that was the end of the world back then
looks like MUM should have been taking this recording. northing much worse than a child filming - unable to focus, hold the camera steady, concentrate or sit quietly!
this isn't even the top. it's the 150m observatory level. to get to the 250m level, you'd have your choice of a rickety-ass elevator that seems like it's gunna drop even without an earthquake, or open-air stairs. i went to the top about a year after this happened. it's structurally sound... but that second elevator ride is not for those with a fear of heights. but if you do go to Tokyo, consider going to the Tokyo Sky Tree, instead. It is much more modern, and twice the size of the tokyo tower. on a clear day, you can even see it from the shore of the navy base in Yokosuka, ~30 miles/50km away you should never let fear stop you from doing the things on your life goals list.
+Vladpryde Dude, I've been to the Sky Tower and went on to its highest floor. The view is breathtaking, but I was all the time hoping that it wouldn't start shaking out of nowhere, since everyone knows that Japan is known for its great seismic activity. I'm from Brazil and never have felt a quake before. Too bad if I'd debut at Japan's highest tower LOL
nakakatakot talaga yan kase nasa tower kayo eh, possible bumagsak yung Tower na yan, buti nilang they're safe and protected and God stopped the Earthquake
i am a 25 year old male weighing 90kg, i would still call my mom if a 9.0 hit me, no shame bru
Living in Miami, I would rather deal with whatever hurricane comes to us than an earthquake.

確かに。あの地震以降は何らかの対策したのではないでしょうか？海外からの観光が多いのに日本語それも生。東京の日本の顔的観光地でこれは トホホ
途中アナウンスで｢安全な所を探して～｣なんて言ってますがこんな状況で判断出来ないですし｡
現在は防災面で自動音声等のアナウンスにアップデートされてる事を期待します。
いくら地震に強い建物でもこれでは安全安心とは言えないです。

Wow, I can't imagine how scary it would be up there during a quake! But that thing is sturdy.
Sturdy isn't the right word because it's designed to be unstable so that it shakes in a controlled manner
These were filipinos. We dont really knwo what an earthquake feel likes so we were just like aaaah
Don't we get earthquakes too?

damn i thought it was a regular skyscraper until I googled
i wouldnt like to of had bin up there :s

Good choice. Also, have a plan, know where the exits are. This also applies to other sorts of events, always have a plan for where ever you go.
of course...the typical filipino reaction when you get scared...MOMMY!!!! (I'm filipino, so this is no racist comment)
It wouldn´t be a racist comment even if you weren´t a filipino.

It is much more modern, and twice the size of the tokyo tower. on a clear day, you can even see it from the shore of the navy base in Yokosuka, ~30 miles/50km away
