[californiadisasters] Will Snowglobes Shake & Break in a Quake?

Save the ceramic Santa!

Science Quest By Gary Robbins - San Diego Union-Tribune

You've seen, in previous videos, what a big earthquake can do to your home aquarium and to your wine collection. Now, you get a look at what might happen to snowglobes and knick knacks if they are placed, unsecured, in cabinets and tables. The simulation was performed by the US San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.

Warning: Life doesn't end well for the ceramic cat.
