Man your soo right, if this happened in Shanghai, the damage would be 100x worse. I live up on the 30th floor of a 3 year old building, and im 99 percent sure that it would of collapsed!!! lol This building is built to such crap standards and even worse this flat goes for about 800,000 usd on the market. Just the other day I saw some construction workers ( probably govt contracted ) fill a huge hole ( bout 25-30 feet diameter ) in the ground that they dug up to rework some sewer lines with bags of crap/trash 3/4 full and then top it off with soil, finished with a heavy layer of tar, were not talking about some random small street where hardly any cars pass, its a pretty busy intersection! The Japanese tend to do things right and not round corners, quite opposite of the Chinese.
We pray for you Japan.
