Did you ever wonder what would happen to your valuable collection of porcelain pig figurines in an earthquake?
Will It Shake is where you get to watch us destroy things to make a point. We take video and photo submissions from fans that show their favorite possessions, or item in their home they are most concerned about being damaged in an earthquake. Then we recreate what’s in their video/photo on a shaketable and let it fly.
Host Sue Jekarl and our team of engineers will show you exactly what will happen to your unsecured stuff in an earthquake.
