chair. a rude dig, no doubt, but many west coasters want to know what s the big deal? we brought in our crack team of senior seismic analysts, the washington post editorial writer and msnbc, jonathan capehart, imogen webber, and imogen you re from the uk. i m a huge expert. you don t share my quake skepticism? no, fondly enough, it was slightly scary yesterday. first of all, i think with 9/11, with the anniversary coming up, i can understand why those in the sky scrapers, you can understand that. also, let s face it, the last earthquake like this was in 1944. you ve had 35 since then on the west coast. bear in mind on the east coast, the buildings are built like they are on the west coast.
have a lot of east coast based media reaction to yesterday s earthquake alert. what did you make of it? well, matt, imogen, rob, i am sitting in the very spot when the earthquake happened, with all the glass around me wobbling and shaking. for those of us on the east coast, not used to this, it was a very scary sensation, a very scary feeling, and also as imogen pointed out, coming so close to the anniversary of 9/11, if people didn t think earthquake, they thought something else, something much more horrible and dangerous not that earthquakes aren t dangerous, but cut us some slack cut us a bit of slack. we will cut you some lack. i think we need to put some kind of earthquakeproof construction at the post there, jonathan. they have to create a cone of safety for our pundits.
