  • Amtrak would survive an Earthquake...great video!

  • @holm79 Yeah Haarp cant make earthquakes it just triggers them. meaning they were going to happen anyway just maybie a few years later.

  • @drgn2288 From experiance its not much different... earthquakes are a lot worse than that and its pretty dificult to tell. Mostly the only thing you'd notice is the shaking isn't quite as sharp but still scary as a mo-fo. Btw i've been through a 7.3 and 6.4 so i know =] well plus another 7000 aftershocks inbetween those two.

  • And I still live in an old brick building. Lol.

  • @BEPfan01 i could do better

  • WOW what a bad simulation! Earthquakes include different seismic waves, this simulator only simulated S-Waves, or Shear Waves, which produces the side-to-side motion.

  • if it fell it would've been a total waste of money! LOFL

    XD

  • So well said..

  • The accuracy??

    Haarp can be used activate earthquakes, but if "the powerwave" hits the controlcenter to, the idea is lost!

    To risky i believe..

  • Why simulate when you can make one.

    HAARP?
