It was incredible seeing how this earthquake turned so many buildings into a pancake of shambles. The Marina got it extra hard because the most of this area is built on landfill where once there was just the bay. This causes a phenomenon know as liquifaction. The shaking earth transforms this landfill into a liquid and thus it can not hold the incredible weight burden imposed by structures. This is the result.
