  • @jshawnk78 It most definitely DOES happen in California Earthquakes. The damage to the Marina district in San Francisco during the Loma Prieta quake in '89 was due to liquefaction.

  • Good example.....amazing...Thank You

  • but how does the word shake hu? hu?

  • You know I don't think I've ever hear off that happening in California EQ's. Is there something I'm missing.

  • see how easy it is for God the father to clean up his earth? liquefaction would take care of all of the ceament man made and lava would take care of the rest.

  • i get it, thankyou for posting

  • kinda like non newtonian fluid really aint it?

  • clever.

  • Far out.

    Demonstrates the principle quite well.... "and this is why the buildings are falling over".

  • Well, there it is right there,,,great demo...good clip..
