  • I was on the 52nd floor of the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills when the earthquake struck. You can get a sense of how much the tower was shaking from the curtains moving and the people screaming. The earthquake itself was scary, but the psychological fear of the tower collapsing etc was stronger.
    Well after the earthquake stopped, the building continued to sway back and forth. We ended up waiting about 1 1/2hrs for the lifts to start up again.

    Usually, a building in Japan has a system to relax shock waves.
    The reason why the building is shaking so much is because it is spreading the energy to the entire system.
    By doing so, it will avoid certain weak-points to be over damaged and break down.
    If you knew this, you will never panic.

      ​@@JAKEtheRAKE23Yeah, because no space mission has ever gone awry. They go perfectly according to plan every single time, so there's no reason for anyone to feel anxious about sitting on a massive tank of fuel hurtling at insane speeds to break out of Earth's atmosphere - as long as they rely on the research and engineering. It's not like they could be sitting there one second and gone the next over something as mundane as a failed O-ring, just ask Christa McAuliffe.
      Also, multiple astronauts have given interviews where they explicitly say that they experience fear and/or anxiety like most rational people would in that situation, they're just incredibly capable of managing those emotions and still being able to work despite them.

    I kinda relate to this situation. I was on the 47th floor when an earthquake strike. That time, I am standing because I'm talking with my co-worker. The earthquake was strong enough to make you feel a bit dizzy. It was my first time experiencing an earthquake in a higher place. When the earthquake stopped, I decided to get all my stuff and immediately evacuate through the fire exit. It was very tiring because, from the 47th floor, you need to walk/run down to the ground floor. It's true that the psychological fear of the building collapsing is stronger. Even if you calm yourself, the fact that you are in a higher place is enough to make you cry or trembling in fear.

    My Dad used to work for Texas Instruments and had to take a business trip to Tokyo to see the clients on some project they were working on. He got to the hotel and was given a tour of Tokyo by the concierge. The concierge was particularly proud of the spring system on which the hotel was built. When an earthquake hits the hotel can give a little to the shaking. Sure enough My Dad woke one morning and saw the horizon swaying from his window(his room was several stories up) He called and the concierge was up make sure he was alright and to remind him about the springs in the basement and what he experienced was his first earthquake.

      A couple months ago an earthquake with the intensity of 5 happened in Istanbul. Although the intensity wasn't that high , the buildings weren't as strong as they're supposed to be. Many buildings were destroyed.
      I was at school during the time. We were in maths class and all of a sudden I feel a shake on my desk. Then hell breaks loose. We follow the procedure , go down the emergency stairs and all , but wanna know something ? Everybody's laughing. Laughing extremely hard. That includes me. We were throwing jokes , saying shit like "Yeah we got off maths !" and such. I think the tensity of the situation just makes you laugh to calm down or something.
