Liquefaction from the Sendai Earthquake (Remarkable video)

Here I am in Central Park in Tokyo. The park is situated on reclaimed ground. It’s filled in harbor from what I’m told. Here is a video showing the ground cracking open, liquefaction, water gushing up through the ground. It’s really scary and crazy to witness from so close a vantage point. Thanks for watching,
