It shows it pays to affix the top of your book cabinets to the wall in earthquaky areas.
This simulator must simulate a room on top of a very tall building... the phase frequency of the quake simulator is a lot lower than on the famous 1995 footage:

With the exception of the offices of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. They found a way to clandestinely clear out piles of overstacked and overflowing shelves. By 'misplacing' those pension records, they've ensured the safety of their bureaucrats!
