    Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that this man's first words in the video wasn't "WOAH CHECK OUT ALL GOLD! I'D LIVE LIKE A KING WITH THIS!" It was along the lines of "It's a shame we can't use this vast quantity of an interesting element for scientific purposes." ......A true scientist. Well done.

      I don't think an earthquake will do much to a vault that strong. As long as you stay away from the falling shelves and blocks of gold, you will be quite safe!! And considering the value of the gold in there, you will be rescued pretty soon when the authorities come by to have a check to make sure the gold is safe.
