Today I learned... doors and earthquakes

inside Mitsubishi ichigokan museum (三菱一号館美術館)


Have you ever experienced an earthquake in Japan? If you have, you must be wondering why do most Japanese run to the front door and open it first (even before thinking of protecting themselves).

I was very curious when it happened the first few times and today I found out it is to make sure the door wouldn't be stuck (as the frame might be shifted and we won't be able to run away if there will be a fire in the building or the building collapses or the rescue team won't be able to get us out.)
