Narita Airport Earthquake - 03 2011

Narita Airport Earthquake. We experienced 3 trembles that day. Two next to each other, one outside next to the planes.

A building that is on "sliders" and "rollers" always comes up when there's an earthquake (I live in California). There's construction that's withstands earthquakes better, and it is used throughout new construction in California, but I can assure you there are no buildings on "rollers."
