Those poor babies. I was wondering why the people didn't get under the tables? I'm sure they go through this a lot and know what to do, though. After it was over everyone was mostly calm. They never lose their dignity.

I didn't think earthquakes lasted that long. God Bless those people who actually lived through it. I can't image how they kept their calm.
