>earthquake I felt in NYC

I am getting anxious just thinking about this. With all those sky scrappers..

They thought of this!

Sky scrappers are the safest buildings to be in during an Earthquake. The most dangerous are the oldest much smaller masonry multilevel buildings.

This is like flying commercial. Your brain knows it is statistically safest. But your palms sweat during takeoff and landing no matter.
