RE: Visiting the Earthquake Museum of Taiwan

in #steempress6 years ago

Thanks for the article, was interesting. It takes some good thought to turn the ruins into a museum and educational center. I grew curious what you learned there - how to behave. Was it anything different than usual instructions in the elementary school... I've been awoken by an earthquake only once and it was a strange morning in Sofia after that, seeing most of the people move like zombies, not being able to sleep during the remaining 3-4 hours of the night.

Sort:  

I think one if the interesting part, which I didnt write about here was the structural engineering exhibition. They talked about how they improved the safety of the buildings after the 921 earthquake so buildings don't collapse like a deck of cards anymore. That's quite reassuring.

People are mainly used to the small tremors now as its actually good for the earth to release the pressure, a bit like human beings really.
