Most interesting! Can't wait to download the videos. I believe the shake table uses data derived from real earthquakes. All you need is 3 axes of ground motion form one seismometer, and actuators powerful enough to recreate it.


But I was taken aback by the poor writing. Where'd this guy learn English? In some place it look like short chop sentence.

I am seeing more and more of this horrid writing in news stories online. Most disturbing. And to think, I hated my English classes and rarely got more than a C. Yet I *know* I can write better grammar than these reporters, these "professional writers".
