The beach is then seen through a broken window caused by the land's movement. Two engineers walk above and below a large sink hole in the street. Trees are uprooted. Roofs are covered in debris. Looking up from the beach, houses have twisted and turned in the natural disaster Looks more like piles of lumber and rubble than a functional framework of a house.

Families stand on the beach below their houses watching their houses slowly falling apart.

Pedipulator Primary Balance Experiment
An 18 feet high metal skeleton is operated by a man on display in Schenectady, N.Y. The Pedipulator is to be used by the U.S. Army like a giant robot on rugged terrain; and is impassible by vehicles. Unlike a robot it is controlled by the operators hand and foot movements. The primary version of a 18 feet high walking machine is called a Pedipulator. A man stands inside the Pedipulator, a big open sided box on metal stilts. The machine rocks back and forth using his feet and hands to control his movements. The man wears a harness that goes around his arm pits, enabling him to move forward and backwards without falling off or out of the contraption. Stepping on a metal bar the Pedipulator moves forward. On the bottom of the box is written "US Army Tank Automotive Center". The Pedipulator legs or stilts resemble the braces of scaffolding which are for now bolted to the floor. But are expected to function freely in later models. The man inside the Pedipulator continues rocking back and forth.
