In 10 years after people, airports are already crumbling including LAX however there were some exceptions like its Theme Building. The arches of the Theme Building dominate the empty airport and would continue to endure because of a surprising form of protection that keep it safe from nature's most powerful forces.

In 125 years after people, the only two buildings remaining at the Los Angeles International Airport are the steel-reinforced control tower and the Theme Building. In the time of humans, seismologists discovered a major fault line just a few miles away and they calculated that the odds of a massive quake were just 1 in 8 in the next 125 years. In 2010, as part of the overhaul of the Theme Building, engineers installed the mass damper to counteract the devastating shockwaves of an earthquake and while the systems are typically placed underneath or inside buildings, the Theme Building became the first building in North America with a mass damper on the roof. After 125 years, a violent 6.5 earthquake strikes at dawn, the control tower collapse while the mass damper saves the Theme Building making it the only structure at the airport still standing.
