Quotes
A single capsize event can release the equivalent of a Hiroshima nuclear bomb — tens of kilotons of TNT
That was a great experience ... They do things really differently, but the bases are 90 feet apart, the mound is 60 feet, 6 inches from the plate. And I went to the museum in Hiroshima, I saw the plaque at ground zero (of the 1945 atomic bomb attack by U.S. forces during World War II). I saw the bombed-out buildings that look like they might fall over any time. It was amazing.
It was very, very violent shaking for about a minute in Tokyo, but what got the attention was the shaking continued for about six minutes ... The energy released in that one minute was the equivalent of 9,300 billion tons of TNT or 600 million Hiroshima bombs.More quotes »
