Earthquake Hits Massena

FOR MONTHS I HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO POST THIS ON MY YOUTUBE PAGE!! PLEASE NOTE YOUTUBE THAT I SUPPLIED ALL HISTORICAL PHOTOS FOR THIS VIDEO!! USED WITH PERMISSION!!! this video blog features myself speaking about the infamous 1944 massena earthquake. I assisted the history channel in 2007 for the production of a documentary called mega earthquakes. the one segment featured here from the history channel is supplied with photographs and information that I provided for the documentary. the producers also goofed with the date of the earthquake. I was quite upset after it aired because of the mistake. -- john daniel

During the construction of Haigh Sophia the eastern romans has used a mixture of equal volumes of lime, powdered brick, and sand. This creates a high-tensile strength brick mortar that is virtually earthquake resistant. Today you might replace the sand with wollastonite used in ductal concrete w/c is flexible & use light weight brick mortar to reduce the effects of an earthquake. And don't forget to use helix steel fibers to be mixed with concrete & wt this mortar to make them earthquake proof.

i was watching history international tonight and this came on. I was like did they just say Massena. Yup

i guess there is a massena accent. i have been told that before in the past. the producers of the new york earthquake from the history channel -- which may be on again -- were happy what i gave them. but unhappy that nobody contacted me to be interivewed on camera. i had better stories than those folks interviewed! LOL
