From the looks of the pictures, it would take a pretty huge earthquake to get that container even to a spot where it could start rolling; the container would be the least of your problems.
- justin66 10y agoYou know this is all taking place in Los Angeles? They're right to worry about what happens during a huge earthquake.
- dmix 10y agoI also found that a curious comment to make given that the structure is not close to the edge and would have to move quite a far distance to be at risk of causing any significant damage. Homes need to factor in earthquake risks but at the same time you need to be realistic about those risks. I hope the person making that statement has a little more to back it up than just speculation of extreme worse case scenarios (ie: level 8-9 earthquakes). Particularly because the other statements also seem like they are grasping at straws for anything to use against him.

- Jack_AX 10y agoLook, I'm from Chile, literally the country with the worst earthquake in history. That thing isn't gonna roll down, things in a earthquake don't jumble around like in a bingo ball blower and btw that's probably the most stable building in LA, houses in the US are made of plasterboard glued with snot to shitty pine-wood, they aren't designed to be stretched and compressed. At the end, the neighbours are just being annoying EDIT: i need coffee
- boznz 10y agoAgree, its an ugly peace of shit, but it is not going anywhere in an earthquake
