The statistics are a testament to how good the engineers, planners and builders are in Japan. I think we saw the same thing but from the 1920s onwards the deaths from building collapse during a mega quake are down to like 3% of overall deaths whereas the absolute vast majority of deaths are now drownings from Tsunami. In California I’ve seen almost zero preparedness compared to what I’ve seen in Japan and honestly, the San Andreas fault looks nasty.
