"This program uses live footage of two major earthquakes--Los Angeles and in Kobe, Japan--to study their devasting effects on buildings and highways. The survival rate of structures in both cities--where building codes differ--is compared in the aftermath of the disasters. Computers simulate movement of the earth's plates during a quake, while experts explain why even the sturdiest structures collapse during intense movement. New building techniques designed to combat this violent force of nature are discussed."
