Man Aki be built different 💪🏻 Seriously though so happy I could experience it, I feel a lot more prepared now!

Stronk

European highschoolers: "Car simulator" Japanese elemantary school: "Apocalypse and natural disaster simulator"

It's actually understandable that Aki excelled in endurance with these tests more than the average person, considering she went to military school (Trash Taste episode 42)

WHY DOESN'T EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD HAS THIS PLACE?! This be perfect to experience and to teach everyone how to prepare for the natural disasters!

The moment when Joey realize his girlfriend is freaklish strong

Aki pushing the heaviest door like "I'm gonna live y'all, fuck this!" 🤣 Emma & Joey: 💀

A thing to remember with all the strength based simulations is, that in a real disaster you'll probably get an adrenalin rush, which will make it "easier" to push open a door etc.

When thinking of the flood disaster in Germany I really wish our government would consider an educational prevention at least close to this because disasters can always happen... This is very important and I'm happy you're sharing this :)

Lesson of the day- Aki is strong enough to budge a door with 30 cm of water blocking it by herself, but they needed both Emma and Joey to budge it together.

Joey & Emma: Door’s too heavy! D: Aki: *old ROTC training unlocked*

This is really cool. really shows how much japan cares about the safety of their citizens. I'd be surprised to hear anything that robust would get funded here in the US

man aki had the best gameplan for opening that door, her hands were in a better place for leverage & then the extra force with her legs added onto it absolute tank, kudos

A lot of the tips that were stated in this video may help save a life out there. We appreciate this type of content.

Aki: literally was so close into being into the US military Aki: opens heavy door Emma: how did you do that Aki: idk

Reminds us that we don’t pray for anything to “just go away”, Japan made their citizens aware that natural disasters are a part of where they live in and how to cope with it. Kinda makes me realize that we should accept what’s happening globally now and we should find ways to adapt.

It's not that the smoke spreads that you need to close the door. The main reason is that fire will spread and having an open door gives the fire more oxygen.

Japan comes with plan a, b, and c in case of situations. Other countries(America in particular) go, "Plan? We'll get back to you on that".

So we watched this last night and this morning an Earthquake hit Victoria, Australia. Thank you Aki, after watching this we felt more confident of what was happening and how to act in this situation.

That looks super fun!

Kudos for Aki fulling using her legs when opening that door. You are a lot stronger when you use your legs instead of your arms. You're a beast girl!

Aki: "Either I push the door, or I die. Guess I'm pushing this dang door!" Emma and Joey: "Do we not have the same life-preservation drive as Aki????" :D

Let's be real, for someone who never experienced earthquake in my entire life I'm probably gonna shit myself if what Aki said about 1 earthquake per month is legit

Small extra note on earthquakes: After an earthquake, especially a bigger one, (like the magnitude 7 in the demo here) be a bit mindful walking around even after it ends, because there will probably be aftershocks. These are smaller tremors as the tectonic plates "settle in" so to speak. The bigger the quake, the bigger magnitude (and multitude) of the aftershocks. They don't happen 100% of the time (at least ones big enough for us to feel) but it's still something to be aware of. :)

As someone living in the US I believe this should be taught extensively from a young age. I have no idea how to use a fire extinguisher...

Okay. So I feel a little odd saying this, but this looks like a really fun way to teach people (especially kids) what to do in an emergency. These kind of facilities should be all over the world. It just feels weird to say I want other to feel what it’s like to experience disasters…

I’m so impressed by Aki’s strength during the flooded door stimulation

Like Emma said, The thing that's scary about walking through the flood is the debris that would be in the water smacking into your legs. It would be so hard to get back up.

i was so impressed by Aki opening the door for all 3 levels, omg she made it look so easy until everyone else tried!!! badass!

This fact is one of the reasons why I thought Japan sinks was one of the better anime I've seen over the years. He wasn't just an anime it was very realistic in the fears that many Japanese have.

Earthquakes are such a strange feeling, especially when they're rare for bad one in Australia, the 5.8 we had was crazy I couldn't imagine a 7.0!

Stuff like this is very important and I'm happy Japan has stuff like this to make you feel at least a bit safer and such

Aki using her legs like a offensive lineman on that door. Good form

This just proves that being stronger in the lower half like Gojira is perfect if disaster strikes. John Daub from Only in Japan tried something similar but focused on earthquakes. He got to experience the great earthquake that hit Fukushima and it looked insane! I'm so glad there are places like this to help people prepare and get a feeling of how bad it can be!

Honestly I wish we had at least one center like this in every city in the US. I don’t know where the money would come from, but I feel like educating people on how to handle disasters like that could be extremely helpful and in the long run could save so many people.

Why isnt stuff like this all over the world?? This could save so many lives! Edit: guys please stop responding to this comment I dont want more drama and fights over one opinion DX

Honestly I probably need to visit a Facility like this one because I can’t really learn anything just from reading a book. I would be too panicked to remember anything unless I actually have experience with it.

i'm legitimately scared by how strong aki is. on a different note: i love this sort of center and i wish houston had one for floods and hurricanes.

Emm and Joe: "OmG hOw DiD yOu OpEn tHE doOR?!" Aki: "military training"

As a Chilean who lived in two of the strongest earthquakes my main recommendations are 1. Secure everything and don't have anything over your bed like frames and always have a pair of good shoes ready to go 2. Have an emergency bag with a radio, a torch, etc 3. Always have canned food and a lot of bottled water. The most important thing is keep calm and for the love of Satan don't go outside immediately because something may fall in your head. Also don't try to call, text instead.

nice that they have a facility like this to help people. also, those earthquake simulations would make me sick. motion sickness is a beast.

It’s really great that they have this available to the public. I don’t know about anyone else, but in my state, the last few jobs I’ve had, we’ve never discussed where to go or what to do in the building in the case of a disaster. I usually end up asking my boss as soon as I get the chance, as every place is different.

also if the rooms actually filled with smoke, you should stay as close to the ground as possible - like crawl if necessary - because smoke rises and if you breathe it in, you'll faint and possibly die in the fire. So even if you're doing that follow the wall thing, make sure to crouch as low as possible!

I love how Aki is strong as hell. I guess military school really did pay off.

This shows that it is good to have a base level of all-round strength so you’re ready to help yourself and others in any situation. There are also classes that teach natural movements on how to crawl, climb, lift, carry and get off the floor in any condition so you won’t panic when the time arises, I highly recommend at least reading/watching those, but of course the best is to do try those movements yourself. Thanks for the video, would visit that place the next time we can visit Tokyo!

I watched this video last night...and this morning we had an earthquake here in Victoria, Australia. What kind of magic is this?!

Here in Tampa, FL we have a museum called MOSI that has an exhibit completely dedicated to natural disaster simulations (fires, tornadoes, flooding, etc.). While it’s very surface level stuff, like a basic feel of what these events would be like and how/why they happen, I still found it to be very impressionable even as a child; it gave me a basic understanding of how those things occur and what I should do in those situations. I wish we had more places like the one Aki showed around America, though, ones that are literally dedicated to natural disaster preparation. Imagine the lives they would save.

I think it's clever to expose the kids to what to do when a disaster struck in a safe environment because then they know how to act and won't be as scared when it happens because even if it's scary, they were still taught what to do during such an emergency.

Japan: Has multiple plans for different situations Other countries: Plan? I don't even have a Pla

Literally watching this video yesterday I thought "haven't felt an earthquake here in Australia in over 10 years I feel" and then this morning an earthquake happens in my state. Not a fun kind of happenstance haha

As a southern Louisiana dude, I'm dealing with the damage of Hurricane Ida still. Just got power last week and still don't have internet.

Damn I want to live and study in Japan one day but things like this scare me

So proud of you aki! Ps. Sad that Los Angeles haven’t adapted stuff like this, I mean, the natural disasters we’ve had through the years is just crazy.

I wish my country had stuff like this 😔 I feel so unprepared for EVERYTHING

11:08 So the math is, one Emma + one Joey equals one Aki.

mama aki opening the 30cm flood door was honestly impressive

6:20 Just chiming in, another reason why you should always close the windows and doors behind you (if you can obviously) is because an open window/door will feed oxygen to the fire and make it burn faster and hotter allowing it to spread more quickly. Closing doors/windows could buy enough time for other people to get out of the building, or maximize the chance that some of the building can be salvaged if the fire department arrives early enough

I started crying when watching these because I kept thinking how there are people who went through it and died … I’m too sensitive 😅 being as most prepared as we can is the best solution

11:30 may points out that the bolster on the seat really helps in giving leverage to open the door base on what Aki and Emma position. That's actually a good tips for picking a car. Make sure the seat bolster is thick. Not only it's for your comfortable while driving, it may useful to safe your life.

That was super interesting! Even if we don't live in the "risk zone" it's always useful for everyone to know what to do and how to react to avoid panicking if we ever are in one of these situations

Man, the only disaster prevention I got growing up was "Stop, Drop and Roll" for fire and get under a table or in a doorway for earthquakes lol

I wish we had simulations like this in the US, at least for floods and earthquakes or what to expect in other states other than CA. Thanks for this though it was very informative 👍

I watched this the night before an earthquake hit (In Australia as well). Never has a youtube video been so useful.

I kind of wish this was a regular thing for study abroad students to experience. I was studying abroad in Tokyo during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami and I defaulted to outdated advice of standing in a doorway instead of getting under my desk or dining room table, which probably would have been much safer considering the shaking lasted longer than 6 minutes. I mean, nothing can prepare you for an earthquake that large and long lasting but it probably would have been helpful to learn what to do in earthquakes of various scenarios. That is definitely a day I will never forget and sometimes still get dreams of that event.

I really wish they had this in Australia. We absolutely need this. Every year people die in floods and fires. We don't have many Earthquakes, but it would still be handy.

When i went to Highschool in Japan, we had something like this come to our school. We had an earthquake simulator brought to the entrance(our room was the kitchen which was really scary during the earthquake). We learned how to use an fire extinguisher. They even built a very big tent as the smoke room.

Here is a fun fact. Most/ all martime workers have been trough something like this when it comes to the fire experiance, but usually suited up and with more realistic smoke and darkness :D

Japanese: "flood is a natural disaster" Indonesia: "same but also it's a free pool"

I live in the UK and there are virtually no extreme or dangerous natural disasters here so I'd be too scared to live in Japan where natural disasters are commonplace.

The synchronized “uuugh” after the earth quake simulator 😂😂 this is really cool though. Definitely helpful and entertaining

Watched this last night and now we’ve had a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Melbourne, Australia. Coincidence… or am I now stuck in a J-horror where anyone who watches this will be involved in a natural disaster in 7 days?

Why can’t we have something like this where I live? This is such a great idea!!!

If it's a fire in a pot or pan or a grease fire, put a lid on it to kill the flames. DON'T EVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE

the door thing is tricky, cause it's not just pushing, it's using leverage to get it open. Aki, got good leverage on that 30cm door

This is too freaky.. you posted this and I watched yesterday. Today there was a 5.8 mag Earthquake in VIC Australia. This video prepared me THANK YOU AKI!!!!!!

Aki is stronger than joey…. Military training does make a difference

I'm glad that I'm able to obtain actual education on ways to get through[?] natural disasters especially living in a disaster prone state and not knowing about facilities like these where I live, it's nice to know that this video exists🙂

As someone living on the American west coast I wish that there was something like this we could do for free. All the disaster prevention and major earthquake survival seminars/simulations that I've heard of cost a lot of money. We're due for a massive earthquake any time and all I was taught in school was to hide under a flimsy desk and hope for the best.

These kinds of things should definitely be implemented more! Sure, there’s the really basic school drills of what to do but REALLY knowing what you need to do in these situations could be life saving!

Aki with her military training coming in handy for these situations

I wish america had those sort of things. as far as I know, some of those things I don’t even learn unless it’s online.

Funny enough, I actually went to this back in 2019 during a Japanese school trip

The fact that there was an earthquake in Australia (at least where i’m from) not even an hour ago and i go on KZfaq and I see this. At least I know what to do.

This is takin 2020 to a whole new level

I just went through a massive house fire about five months ago caused by my neighbor and the home burned down and because of her yelling I thankfully made it out with my life since the fire was coming upwards into my bedroom as I lived on the second floor and was asleep in bed, it's good that Japan has places to go to learn how to be prepared for a horrible situation. Also your videos bring me out of a dark place. ^^

What's terrifying is I watched this on Monday then the next day we had an earthquake in Melbourne Australia. We don't EVER get earthquakes...

I remember being in japan during typhoon hagibi. We were staying in Asakusa and was really impressed with Japan’s disaster preparedness. Its on another level!

I recognised the building's entrance from a Belgian travel TV-show called "Reizen Waes" where the presenter Tom Waes goes to a different country every season, with a native guide to show him all the ins and outs of the country (but most importantly its culture) the last season before covid was about Japan, he was at this facility too!

Something like this would be really helpful here in Mexico... we've had a hurricane, an earthquake, a landslide and floodings in the spam of 2 months, I luckily only experienced the earthquake

Should have watched and shared this as soon as it was out. Victoria had an earthquake yesterday and no one knew what to do. Thankfully for me we were really far away from the epicentre, but I know a lot of Australians have no idea, and were not built for it either. How the hell an earthquake happened in the middleish of the plate is still something a lot of Victorians want to know.

The vr earthquake thing reminds me of the vr chairs that shake and every time I used to sit on them they would make it so intense till the point I would shake after I got off of them

So, Lesson of the day. Aki is the daughter of Hercules himself. EDIT: (Insert Joseph Joestar's OH MY GOD here. I'm sorry, but 1.1k HOW?) EDIT #2 1.5K. Ya'll are crazy tho, but thanks a bunch

As someone who used to live in Nicaragua, which is commonly affected by things like hurricanes and earthquakes I can say that everything on the simulations is quite acurate. Really loved the video!

Honestly I feel like a facility like that is really useful in a country with such frequent natural disasters. Taking children there for field trips is also smart, since they'll learn from a young age what to do in these situations.

It was really generous of you to record the learning experience. Also for the flood/door pushing, would it be okay to push the door with your entire body rather then just your hands, and for the car to push it with your legs because not everyone would be strong enough to push through such pressures.

This video just made me realize I’ve never used a fire distinguisher before… I’d probably literally throw it at the fire like Spongebob did in a panic! 😂

Wow. I really wish we did something like this for American children. I've been in way more flooding situations and hurricanes since I came to Texas in the last 7 years than I have any other time in my life. And there's a lot that people just don't know they should avoid. Something like this would be incredibly helpful and would likely stick with them.

I’m really happy for the people living in Japan and the technology they have. Considering how awful natural disasters are, this sort of stuff is really useful for anyone living in Japan.

This is really good that they make these places so in real life situations you’re ready and aware

Funnily enough, I went through flight attendant training where we learn how to deal with beginnings of fire, evacuation in case of smoke in the cabin (we practiced at a smoke room/house as well), and survival in the jungle/desert/sea/ice. There are different types of fire extinguishers and we learned its characteristics so we could identify them by touch in the smoke house. The water fire extinguishers generally are larger than the one Aki had, and they tend to be heavier as well. A full large one weighs about 15kg. We trained with fire fighters and it was intense, because we were put in line, assigned booths with different materials, and once the instructor commanded it, we ran to the extinguishers, picked the right one according to the type of fire, went inside our booth and put out the fire. Fucking running with a large water fire extinguisher was no fun.
