TBH I was confused by what looked like a cross - I thought it meant Jesus was showing up.

I thought of the KKK. Thanks for the better quality picture.

We had an earthquake drill at one place I worked, where there was an outside door less than 20 feet from our desks. Another guy and I agreed, if there was ever an earthquake we were heading out that door and would wait in the middle of the parking lot until it was over and then help dig bodies out of the rubble. Somebody said, “What about falling debris?” It was a freaking 2-story building, but yeah we conceded we’d be taking a risk for a second or two as we sprinted clear - vs expecting our cubicle furniture to keep a collapsing building off us lol.

Having lived through a major earthquake - if it’s a brick or concrete tilt-slab building, you are way better off inside the building. The risk isn’t so much some random piece of something falling off, it’s the entire facade of the building coming down on your head.

Like I said, middle of the parking lot - I’m talking at least 100 ft away from a building that was maybe 30 ft tall.

shrug if you think you can run 100 ft faster than concrete can fall 30 during an earthquake so strong you can’t stand then more power to you I guess

Stairwells are the most structural sound area of any multi story building.
