Who all felt the earthquake in VA today? My sister's in Richmond on a business trip with her husband and said it was the scariest thing she's ever been through. She was in a high-rise hotel with my 3 yr old niece. Said it felt like sumo wrasslers were running around the hotel ... lol. I was shopping and the whole store felt it - all the way in Spartanburg, SC!!! Anyone else have a story?

Well,
there you have it, if we all die from a major disaster it good to know that Shock will still be here to run things.

The objective of Perfect Wall, Inc.: To design, engineer and build the strongest, safest structure ever invented. We wanted the design of our homes and buildings to withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, fire, earthquakes, floods, termites and mold

But wait, corrision, rust, bending and making all them creeking and popping sounds and the heat that transfers through steel without a thermo break system. and really Fire Proof (NOT) everything in the place can burn and at 1600 deg. kiss the steel structure goodbye, surely you heard of Fahrenheit 451 everything burns at a specific temperature. Are you scared yet?

Steel can melt, but we make a fire blocking product that provides 99.9% resistance. And what fire burns at 1600 degrees? If that happened I'm sure the whole world is screwed because it will be over if that happens probably. I'd rather be in a building like this than a wood building

let me remind you,
the world trade centers were steel framed and had thermo fire resistant insulation wrap around the beams
but when the interior temps reached 2000 deg. they twisted like pipe cleaners and melted and it collapsed like a bunch of dominoes.

magnesium caused one of the worst racing fires Ive ever seen

magnesium wheel filled with nitrogen plus heat makes a bomb

I was half joking about the building being impossible to destroy...it would take a lot of heat for it to melt, though. Of course the Titanic was supposedly unsinkable and that didn't go well
