hmm... can you explain why liquefaction yields a lower chance of survival please?

that's just my perception...nothing scientific or statistic...

My understanding of "liquify" means that there's no more land or the land sunk or something. So if one doesn't even have a place to rest his feet, how can he possibly wait for rescue?

err... that's not what really liquefaction means...
anyways, don't worry about it, it is not as bad as the general public thinks.  (it is still a bad thing tho)

OK, I read some more...so it's not as dramatic as I thought, which is like in movies...LOL

But still I think the damage will be much worse in these red areas compared to the yellow ones in the link.  Tons of concrete buildings in Richmond...I wonder what will happen to those...

Also, our airport...all read   in case of emergency, where are the planes gonna land????
