I think Arlen is right. However, this still reminds me of a quote by a
Japanese Minister before the Kobe Quake.
"Our earthquake standards are safe. The United States earthquake
standards are different."
For those who don't know, most of the buildings left standing in Kobe
met California earthquake standards. The crumbled highway you saw on
TV met Japanese earthquake standards.
