“The port’s container volume was 9.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in calendar year 2017, a 5.5% increase over 2016’s record-breaking year of 8.8 million TEU. It’s the most cargo moved annually by a Western Hemisphere port. The port is the busiest port in the United States by container volume, the 19th-busiest container port in the world, and the 10th-busiest worldwide when combined with the neighboring Port of Long Beach. The port is also the number-one freight gateway in the United States when ranked by the value of shipments passing through it.”

Why worry? Angelenos know they’ll all be dead from global warming in 10 years anyway.
To: BenLurkin
When I was in my teens everyone talked about LA falling off into the ocean. Maybe this hidden fault will bring that about.

I've seen that movie before...

“The port’s container volume was 9.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in calendar year 2017,”
That’s a line of containers end-on-end stretching from LA to NYC then back again x 5.

It’s what they call a blind fault.They may call it a blind fault, but I just don't see it...
