    The guy seems to have prepared what to do in an earthquake emergency.

    The female presenter seems to want to carry on, unsure of the right way to handle it, but then follow the lead other presenter.

    Seems a curious case of decision making under uncertainty (social psychology) – if you don’t know what to do, do what the other people are doing.

    I didn’t notice the first time how his alarmed surprise directly precedes a wave of fear in her I think, but then she calms down a lot. Really the way it is handled is pretty cool, I guess they figured out it wasn’t that big of a deal or assured themselves regardless of the reality. Interesting dynamics between the two as Leon pointed out.
