I’ve made it a point to tell people not to run during quakes, as broken arms and legs can happen. And after feeling the shaking in that trailer, I can tell you confidently, there was no way that I’d be able to stand or run through the peak of a temblor that size. You’re at Union Station when the big one hits. The next two minutes are terrifying. By the time you make your way outside, the Los Angeles you know is gone. In Episode One, you experience what the first hours after a massive earthquake could be like.If you have a chance to go check out a shake trailer, do it. It’s a blast!
