@GuardianSoulkeeper you seem to be concerned more with replacing houses than saving lives. Recent earthquake (bigest in history) didnt damage buildings in Tokio, so it means thousands of lives were saved if brick constructions are well built. Tsunami probably damages brick constructions but to a lesser degree than wood, thus giving people better chances of survival than wood. Maybe an experienced japanese constructor could tell us what is better construction material in this type of disasters.

@otirudam Disagree. Wooden structures are easily torn down, cleared away and replaced. The earthquake and following tsunami would have damaged any brick & mortar building to the point where it would need to be torn down anyway. In such a situation, I'd be happier with a wooden house than a brick one.

@otirudam Quite true lol.

Would it be a fair statement to say that many houses and buildings got easily overrun by the tsunami bcos they were built mainly with wood? I am not an expert in construction, but to me it seems that if brick and concrete had been used instead of wood, the wreckage would of been less. Does anybody agree or disagree on this?
