This is the Safest Place to Be in an Earthquake

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is surprisingly still standing, surviving numerous earthquakes over the years.
New research says it's the unique interaction between the tower's foundation and the soft soil it stands in that's helped it ride the seismic waves.
University of Bristol professor George Mylonakis said: "As the earthquake waves reach the tower, the tower somehow rides the waves and doesn't move. So the soil moves but the tower doesn't move; like riding the waves. So had the soil been stiff, the waves would have hit the tower and the tower would have possibly if not probably collapsed."
