Earthquake Liquefaction Example
For those who are wondering of the actual effects that this causes in a earthquake. Water and Sand get forced up. After the last big quake in christchurch the water was upto my knees in about 2minutes. Thick sand/water mix covered everything. Pipes below the ground were often forced up and out, and houses sunk into the ground. Sinkholes, uneven ground, damages roads and footpaths. Its a pretty nasty effect.... and thats without the quakes force alone.

Elon Musk: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
-Massive Waves
-Global earthquakes
-Frequent Volcanic Eruptions
How is Mars worse than this? And it sounds like a lot of the tech used for Mars could help if this ever happened to Earth. How is that a bad thing?
My concern is this...
Elon Musk: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
My concern is this : Imagine a global extinction event , lets say a repeat of the event that killed off the dinosaurs : a massive asteroid direct hit , instantly killing everything on roughly the same continent or general planetside , such an impact would punch a hole in the very tectonic plate it lands on and cause massive waves not just in water , but in the ground itself , waves of rock and earth surface taveling around the globe meeting on the far side of the impact and ricocheting back again . We are talking GLOBAL earthquakes off the scales, for YEARS after the impact as the tectonic plates are slowliy settling in, all this is followed by a thick cloud of ash from the impact, refueled by frequent vulcanic eruptions , this will block out most sunlight , so after the initial toasting , the few lucky survives of this pandemonium can look forward to hundreds of years of atomic winter. Sounds pretty fuckin bad.
But guess what : thats still better conditions for life than Mars. And Mars is goddamn paradise compared to the other planets around us. Anything outside our immediate neighbourhood ? Forget it , they are ATLEAST thousands of years travel away, making moving anything of note there unfeasable. We ARE a one planet species. Get used to it , take good care of this one , its all we got.
Man Chops Down Tree To Steal Bike
Chinese manufacturers poison children with lead paint on toys and melamine in formula. They build shoddy schools in earthquake zones, killing hundreds more children. The government is corrupt, the people, by and large, are on the verge of poverty, forced into making tough decisions like leaving their kids with the grandparents in the country while they work in the city and can barely scratch enough together to visit once or twice a year. At the same time, the wealthy class has ballooned at a staggering rate, government officials steal millions of dollars from taxpayers, or take the money in bribes, and offshore it so they can escape when the inevitable collapse comes. And all this is just barely scratching the surface of all the shit that goes on in China.
Yes, by all means, let's worry about one tree.

Foo Fighters Close Out Lollapalooza During Massive Rainstorm
Dude's a goddamn legend. After the Christchurch earthquakes, they played a fund-raising gig in Auckland and donated all the proceeds to earthquake charities.
Then when they came back to Christchurch last year, he told the crowd that they would come back and play a free show.
Dave Grohl is Fucking Awesome.
Goddamn how does anyone not love this guy?
70 meter tunnel in one weekend under highway!! A12 Timelapse
Holy crap, can someone bring these guys to Christchurch? It's been 5 1/2 YEARS since the earthquake and the roads are still fucked here (admittedly there's a lot more work, but still....)
