- Major earthquakes hit the West coast of Japan this week - with the most powerful on Monday reaching a magnitude of 7.6. Yet despite this, fewer than 100 people have been confirmed killed so far.
Sky's Mickey Carroll explains how Japan became one of the most prepared countries in the world for earthquakes.

Super impressive! Japanese people always adapt fast
I mean this isn't. New thing. We learnt about this in school in the 80s. Japan builds building to sway with earthquakes they adapted at least 50 years ago.
The death toll is above 200 now. They made the video too soon.
I give my condolences to Japan from America. 🇺🇸
Tokyi Sky Tree was built using an ancient technology which still withstanding since 607.
This is news? We learnt about this in school in the 80s. Japan has been making buildings earthquake resistant for at least 50 years
Not the people who thought history was a better option…
This time in Noto peninsula, about 50% of houses were so old that not built / reinforced to meet the standard set in response for the major 1995 Hanshin Awaji earthquake. In rural area with aging populations, It’s still difficult to make it all earthquake resilient - even in Japan.
But the traditional old buildings evolved to be pretty good at surviving earthquakes being timber framed with lightweight walls made from wattle and daub panels or wooden panels. So they still fair better than a lot of countries that have brick or stone constructions for older buildings.
@@nlwilson4892 a lot of the older buildings have very heavy rooves supported by lightweight walls and are flammable. I wouldn't think those would be good at withstanding a powerful earthquake.
@@RendererEP The heavyweight roof is an issue. But the timber frames flex with the shake so are better at withstanding quakes than brick or stone. The walls are lightweight so they cause less damage if they fall.
Fire is a big problem but when I was there all houses had a couple of buckets of water ready to quickly put out any fire before it got started. Obviously that can only deal with the smaller ones.
The standard was not set in 1995 but 1984. We know this as we Japanese only buy buildings built after 1984 to meet earthquake proof standards. Anything before that year it’s much cheaper and not worth selling or buying actually.
@@KittenBowl1 Our earthquake standards were set in 1981, not 1984.
why is UK incapable of coping with rain?
Or a bit of snow...
according to Terese Coffey it was coming down from the wrong direction
@@sherrylawrencelewis2544Because it seldom snows in the majority of the UK, at least to an extent that would require extensive infrastructure to manage, so there is no real use in prioritising already scarce resources to deal with its effects. Snow just isn’t that great an obstruction in most areas of the UK year round as it is in countries such as Finland, Russia and Canada. So we put a plaster over the wounds and wait for them to heal (in this case for the precipitation to pass).
Because we're stupid and don't learn from previous experiences..we are still using Victorian infrastructures to manage water..we don't dredge rivers anymore..don't clean out drains enough..and we keep building houses on flood plains....
Incompetence 😞👍
This is why geography is better to learn than history
A History of bad earthquakes would be the reason why they made sure to pursue geography and innovative engineering. 👍

The video of the first TV station is the video of a station affiliated with NNN/NNS called KNB, which is a member of Nippon Television Network.
जापान दुनिया के विषम देशों मे से एक है जहां भुचाल सुनामी आंतें रहते है परन्तु उन्होंने इससे सबक लेकर अपने देश को सुरक्षित रखने मे कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी तभी तो भूचाल आते जरूर है परन्तु हानि कम होती है दूसरे देशों की अपेक्षा।
From the end of 2024, the number and scale of natural disasters will increase many times over. The reason for this is entering the cosmic cycle of 12000 years.
If we don't take action now, in 5-7 years it will be impossible to live on the planet. And not later than 2036 there will be a catastrophe, which will turn the Earth into a second Mars.
We still have a chance to save the planet and our own lives. The analytical report and ways to solve the problem are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" (online forum).
@@thomassmith4678really???... 😮Not. 😅
They’ve been posting that gibberish on loads of videos about the Japan earthquake
Another misspelled title 👍
Some homes have these safety priorities(especially the new ones), and they still lose their value in a few years hence why alot homes get abandoned when the owners die as property tax is expensive
The earthquake got bored and left
They build earthquake resistant buildings
Because they don't build for profit like in the UK.
Although we don't suffer such earthquakes we have other issues like flooding etc where water etc are all about profit

I don't know maybe it's because they have a lot of earthquakes
Why can't Sky News spell resilient?
Can’t imagine being an engineer in the ring for fire. Build Up 🏥.
A lot of tidying up to do though
Resilient* not resilent…
Maybe these people in Japan should "go outside" too and find a new life goal. Right Sky News?
myth
There are floods, I don't think it's a good idea
wtf's resilent when its at home ?
News ????, Japan has been constructing with earthquakes in mind for decades.
because they get tons of quakes. they have had to rebuild many times.
The 1923 earthquake in Tokyo caused more than 100,000 deaths because of traditional Japanese constructions which did not resist and fires because they were made of wood, the earthquakes of the 19th century caused tens of thousands of deaths . Traditional constructions have in fact never resisted earthquakes in Japan until the adoption of Western construction techniques and especially until Japan became rich enough to be able to build resistant constructions. The temples, sanctuaries and castles were no more resistant than the houses to earthquakes, fires and typhoons, but everything was rebuilt identically, which gives the impression that the buildings are very old when they are not. In all of Japan, the oldest house is from 1604 and there are only a few houses from the 17th century still standing. The rest is just myth and legend.
And in 1945 100000 people died too.... snap...
Nose ring = Opinion invalid
Resilent? Or perhaps resilient? 😂
So resilient? Because they are historically used to earthquakes, many dwellings in ye olde times were made from wood and had paper shoji screens, as room dividers, ---the woman states the modern logical rules.
They learn martial arts so they can dodge falling masonary easily...
Not quite. They just dug a 90 year old lady out from the ruins of her house after 5 days..
Excuse me, but earthquake resilient? How many people died, how many buildings tumbled and if there had been a tsunami like before how many coastal towns would have been devastated like a couple of years ago, not to mention the deaths? Japan is not earthquake resilient period.
No sushi eat today
🇯🇵 🤲 Allah protect Japan & Best wishes for people of Japan
fxxk xff😊😊
It is too powerless...
Does the earth quake in Japan condemn Hamas?
Do the floods in UK condemn Hamas?
PLEASE READ ABOUT UNIT 731. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
How is that related to Japanese earthquakes? Imagine seeing a video about pasta and then saying "READ ABOUT MUSSOLINI"
