O.O Dang, as earthquake prone as Japan is, you'd think they'd use furniture straps to make sure those bookshelves wouldn't fall on people.

I understand that two of the deaths were from falling walls and two were from falling furniture, see for example: http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201806190013.html (in English). |

The earthquake was 6.1 M, and could yank any straps or brackets right out of the wall. |

Compared to other Japanese quakes of that size or higher, only 4 people so far dying is actually quite low. With a quake that size, I think at least 100 people dyin gwould be more common.
