This visualization shows the collapse of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, part of Washingtons State Route 99, and adjacent seawall due to a seismic event. The simulated earthquake is similar to the 2001 Nisqually earthquake but lasts longer, is closer to Seattle, or has a slightly greater magnitude.

    No, it is merely a simulation video showing what could happen to the vulnerable viaduct structure in an earthquake.

    If the earthquake is on the coast, like it shows in the simulation, wouldn't a tsunami come in from the sea or something.
