Regarding the news anchors clip...

Personally, I don't know why people consider that some form of weakness.
When an earthquake begins, you don't know if it's going to be a 4.1 or an 8.7.
Diving under something nearest you that's sturdy is exactly what you're
supposed to do. It might look silly when it's a mild rocker, but if those lights
come crashing down from the ceiling, the catwalks dislodged or the walls and
ceiling caved in, it could save you. Making light of those who do it could only
reinforce the notion that others should not--because someone who doesn't
understand thinks it makes you look silly. So be it. Just my opinion.
