- cs702 3y agoYes. 100%. I'm utterly disgusted by it, and also thankful for it. These feelings are orthogonal to each other.
- ryanjshaw 3y agoI suggest staying away from earthquake areas. You might survive the earthquake only to be "rescued" by one of these guys.
- datameta 3y agoToo late, I'm ending a week in CDMX. The earthquake oriented infrastructure is interesting. Long external horizontal struts are used on buildings that are irregular polygons. Often external (or "internal" but outside) staircases are reinforced and joined to the rest of the building. The skycraper architecture starting in the mid-1950s was a proving ground for architectural techniques that were studied internationally, including by Japan.
