I just watched the full episode of "Deadly Pacific" from Drain the Oceans, and it was absolutely captivating! The way they uncovered the secrets of the Pacific Ocean's most treacherous locations was both thrilling and informative. From shipwrecks to underwater volcanoes, the visuals were stunning and the narration kept me hooked from start to finish. Highly recommend checking it out if you're fascinated by the mysteries of the deep!

Thanks for these videos! My son in law is a structural engineer "earthquake specialist " (or whatever it's called) He was part of the UN team that went to Haiti after the devastating quake there to rebuild /design quake resistant buildings. I think that's why this video is especially interesting to me. I hope NG continues producing these excellent programs, and doesn't go downhill like the History Channel.

I went to college in Long Beach, California. Traveling up and down the coast, in places like Laguna Beach, and north on 101 to San Francisco, the sight of homes literally perched on stilts on steep hillsides amazed me....... how little it would take to collapse their seaward support is incredible enough. Earthquakes can be really eerie. A few times there was no feeling of motion, but a sense that some energy just moved through the building. When a company I worked for in Baltimore opened a San Francisco office in a skyscraper, I was little interested in transferring. You'd think the Pacific's immensity might absorb or spend energy but the moon has a big say in that as well.

If a severe enough earthquake hit those homes, they would like just start sliding down the hill. Hopefully everyone is out when that happens. They do make "earthquake resistant buildings, the skyscrapers are designed to move around". However, there are limits, and a big enough earthquake destroy anything that is not flexible enough or too tall.

I live not so far south of Eureka, California, where the Cascadia Earthquake will begin or end depending on where it ruptures. When it goes, I anticipate strong shaking here near San Francisco. Not that I want anyone injured or want to see massive destruction, I really don't want that, but I'm interested in feeling the shaking of a magnitude 9 quake. I've been through everything up to 7.3 so 9 for me it's like that best of the best most thrilling roller coaster I wanna ride. I agree with you. So much doom and gloom without stating the reality that Cascadia may not go off for another 500 years. Of course, it might go off tomorrow. Just no telling. Without the doom and gloom though the program wouldn't get many viewers. People love to be frightened and it sells!

Smaller settlements on the Washington and Oregon coasts would be quickly destroyed like those on the northeast coast of Japan. Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver are not exposed directly to the Pacific ocean. Portland has the Columbia river, Seattle and Vancouver have the Strait of Juan DeFuca and Sound waters as buffers to Pacific tsunamis, slowing them and allowing more time for evacuations. There would be flooding, but not the 100 foot waves smashing through Seattle as the documentaries love to depict.
