I had a chance to watch this movie on my flight back to Bangkok recently. Was a very good and realistic movie. I cannot help thinking for my American friends particularly those in California and especially those in San Francisco.

My best wishes and prayers goes to you to this coming and inevitable disaster.

No sinkie dead. No mp rushed there. No mp cried n threaten to sue.
It must b pretty insignificant.
 
thought this movie was going to be great but had too many problems with the storyline.
 
the reality is that it won't be as disastrously portrayed in the movie. hollywood has a way with exaggeration. the last big quake, loma prieta, in 1989 inflicted deaths, injuries, bridge span collapse, freeway overpass collapse, fires, building destruction, widespread damage but all around the bay, most buildings stayed intact, people survived and life carried on.

fortunately, the faults running north-south along california are no longer subductive tectonic plate occurrences. the plates rub against each other laterally not one going under the other which is more devastating. for lateral type earthquakes, the highest magnitude is around the upper 7 range. the truly devastating ones are found in subduction zones off the coasts of chile, northern japan, british columbia, sumatra. magnitudes can reach 9, which can flatten entire cities and cause powerful tsunamis. california will survive the next big quake, but hopefully it will take hollywood and many of the drunk and drug addict celebrities with it. ;)

Good to know.

Californians also have to deal with super volcanoes
