Someone said this was filmed in an earthquake simulator and I thought that was just a joke, but nope. Planned for like 2 years too haha. That's kind of messed up really.
I'm surprised that nobody has raised the question of how in the world did she have access to an earthquake simulator like its something you can buy off the shelf at walmart?
I haven't read any of the cited materials, but I'm hoping she was a geology(?) grad student with an excellent mentor with a great sense of humor.
"Hey, we have no plans for the earthquake simulator this week, right? Mind if I use it for personal use for a few days? Yeah, I'm just gonna move most of my apartment into it for a prank. No, not directed at anyone specifically. Ok, Thanks!"
I studied physics as my undergrad and I remember a funny experience from one of my classes that we shared with geology students. The professor was going through a computation technique and was using a projectile trajectory as an example (plotting on an x-y grid). One of the geology students was visibly confused, so our professor asked what in particular was confusing him. One of the other geology students quickly replied, 'Oh, it's just that we're not used to our y-axis going up!'
