00:00Right from the beginning, the human race has been on shaky ground.
00:04Earthquakes have always been a problem, particularly when man built things near the weak spots of the Earth called faults.
00:12What man couldn't quite figure out was how to build buildings so when the Earth would shift, they wouldn't go all to pieces.
00:20Then DuPont Teflon arrived on the scene.
00:23DuPont Teflon is very, very slippery.
00:26Even heavy things slide easily on pads of Teflon.
00:30Heavy things like big buildings in Southern California, which are very near faults in the Earth.
00:36Today, if the Earth shifts a little, Teflon is there to keep things from getting all shook up.
00:43Slippery Teflon from DuPont.
00:45It's helping man live with the Earth, despite its faults.
00:52DuPont.
00:55There's a world of things we're doing something about.
