Japan is earthquake country so they get a pass.

India however...

Japan is slowly burying all their overhead lines into the sidewalks. A lot of urban streets look so much nicer now than they did 10 years ago.

It’s probably no worse in an earthquake than the water mains, which would inherently be a lot more rigid than cables with intentional slack built into every segment.

Are they really safer in an earthquake though? Those poles could fall over and people could get caught under the cables, worst case while they're still under high voltage...
