'Operation Paperclip' was the ultimate double-edged sword.

'Earthquake engineering' involves the development and installation of enormous building shock absorbers, sliding walls, and Teflon foundation pads – all of which help Japanese buildings withstand the immense stresses and strains imposed on them during violent events like earthquakes. Other solutions include huge sea walls and monstrous floodgates.
