I like the pendulum more
Nuclear bomb hit them different….
Your video about Patagonia that was uploaded a day or two ago was removed. Anyone know why?
Sorry mother nature has no mercy.
So many open offices, ugh.
Here before the mouth-breathing army of weebs that fawn over Japan show up to comment 'Japan's so amazing' and 'it's like they're living a century ahead of us, what a perfect society'

Those pagodas come from a Korean dynasty called Baekje
But can it stand against Gojira?
Nice video, but a big dislike for Japanese translation, which didn't consider the context of the words and phrases, how English language is spoken, and how the different culture affects the way of speech. There are problems on every single piece of translation, and some of them just make the sentence not understandable at all.
For example 1:51, those Japanese way of speech originated from local humility culture, like "緊張感" (nervousness) and "自信" (confidence) in Dr. Konishi's sentence, doesn't exist in English way of speech. It should be translated to a way that English users are able to understand, like "It is very hard to design this building / The first problem we met is wind / The building stands only 8 km away from the sea / The sea breeze is strong even in calm weather".
Another example would be 2:31 "色んなデバイスなどが 制振の方法が", as the translation in the video is just word to word translated like "various (色んな) device (デバイス) and damping (制振の) methods (方法)", but instead it should be translated as "vibration control technique". The whose paragraph would be "Regular vibration control techniques used on most buildings / cannot be applied to this tall and thin building / so we developed a unique method to make the building safe".
As they say, you can engineer (almost) anything.
How do u service the rubber and oil dampers?
Those are the biggest shocks I've ever seen
Can you people make a video on Mumbai's Dabbawalas?

Meanwhile in Italy at 4.5 grade half a city is gone.
Don't forget the X-Seed 4000
Western coverage of Japan is always so positive. See Bloomberg’s China videos. What is the EVIL empire up to next?
I freaking love control systems. Always fun to nerd out about them.
Too bad about all the light pollution. Japan needs more amateur astronomers in their government.
Using wood as new new materials for buildings sounds nice untill fire.
The tower is so beautiful and unique
Japan always made it another level.
Now this is important news not those stupid mind games.
Go Japan!
Can you guys not dub the experts insights in English?
6:11 Nujabes is alive again!
There’s a reason for traditional regional architecture …
This is show that japanese quality is masterpiece.Respect japan
what about fire ?
1:53 Isn't it nerve-wrecking?
耐震技術よりナレーターの声がコロコロ変わるのが気になる笑
No such thing as disaster proof. More correct would be disaster resistant but of course that doesn’t sound as cool.
What about a demographic disaster lol
Wow,look atmospheric energy collectors (capaciters)!
It’s no wonder this country makes so many great epic disaster mangas and films.
I'm sure the wood part was over simplified to exclude fire retardant tech because Chicago and San Francisco know all too well about how well building with wood goes..
Sky tree is absolutely amazing. The elevator is quick and when I was up on the viewing deck it was crazy.
There is a big difference between an older building with wood floors vs a concrete building in the winter.
