Q: Five years ago i saw a documentary on NYC and it's faults. it said 95 years ago there was world's worst earthquake that killed millions because they weren't expecting it & all of the skyscrapers collapsed. My Choir is going on a broadway trip to see a broadway show in nyc, and i am VERY scared that tehre will be an earthquake because it has now been exactly 100 years since the last major EARTHQUAKE. soo idk if it was true, but i heard that they were expecting such a big Earthquake thatt it will effect pensylvania and more than half of the east coast. Because of Haiti, Chile, iceland, norway, The volcano etc i'm scared that there will be an earthquake the day we go to nyc help asap.

Chill out.
I LIVE in New York and I'm not panicking or getting the hell out. Know why?
We have extremely sophisticated equipment that monitors seismic activity and can make projections about the future.
When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines a couple years back, the area was evacuated long before. The USGS was on the spot and monitoring the volcano days (maybe weeks?) before the eruption. Why did the US send a geological team to investigate a threat to some random foreign town? Answer - there was a US air force base there.
Now, if they're willing to do that for a bunch of military equipment, think about the effort they would put into protecting a city like New York, pretty much THE most famous city in the world?
Trust, in the EXTREMELY RARE occasion that a major earthquake would occur, you and everyone else in New York would be evacuated long before.
You have nothing to worry about.

Fun facts:
I am a champion procrastinator.
My hair has been every color of the rainbow.
I like art. In a perfect world, I'd be an illustrator or graphic designer. But in this world, I'm probably going to end up an engineer or an architect.
I tend to be pretty blunt. If you don't like it, too bad.
I have more piercings than I can be bothered to keep track of. They're all on my ears.
Oscar Wilde is awesome.
Julian Beever is awesome.
Hans Zimmer is awesome.
