Alaskan Way Viaduct - Earthquake Simulation

What? No tsunami to follow up?

The video was not released by Parsons Brinkerhoff. That's a smear, and a lie. The video was made two years ago by PB but released by the state due to a public request by a former mayoral candidate opposed to the tunnel!

this kind of looked like the Earthquake in the 2012 movie

actually, taxes are good. the people that dont want to pay taxes are bumb. higher taxes for better schools, free health care, better transportation and green technology. just look at sweden! paying 40%+ tax and they're the happiest nation on earth. and while it might not work in the entire nation (300+ million is hard to keep track of), it can work in a state, and it has worked in WA for many years. we shouldnt be worrying about our selfish needs, instead we should worry about a better world.

Now what they want you to do is give all your money to them to build a tunnel, that will also fail in an earthquake, like everything else.

haha, you think that the gov will take part of the 4 billion dollars? this isn't a corrupt nation moron. we have laws that prohibit that and if there is corruption in the us, washington as some of the lowest. and what? do you not think digging a tunnel up will cost tons of money? or replacing an entire seawall that was built decades ago? get scientific proof and dont just talk about money.

That is a good one, haha.

Engineers are people too -- the reason for structures is....duh, people -- so don't be so sarcastic missy. Odly enough nobody would even CARE if it was just structures that fell crashing down. Plus, I'd like to see the same simulation regarding the tunnel.

NO TUNNEL NO TUNNEL NO TUNNEL! I'd rather be on top of the ground rather than a stupid pipe underground.... your simulation showed pipes bursting... why wouldn't the tunnel? Idiots.

I was totally against the tunnel idea. What this video needs is less pauses (or none at all would make it look less government-y) and a good soundtrack with great music and a killer voiceover announcer. We want something (or nothing) to replace the viaduct we know bad things will happen if we dont. waste of $?
