Maybe all his info isn't correct, but the ARC advice to "drop, cover and hold on" leaves something to be desired, too. I remember that 'training' when I was in grade school in SoCal, and remember questioning it then. How can sitting under a cheap desk protect you when the concrete walls fall in? And what are you supposed to hold onto?

It would be interesting to see the results of a really strong quake here in Dreamland, to see what really works and what doesn't. I'll bet it will be different than people think.

Engineers: the guys who think a plane will fly into a building without fuel.

Army Corps of Engineers: the guys who okay a housing development being built on a land that has a bunch of underground springs.
