Ok, first off, those were two questions, not one.
In the first picture, its Japanese Oak. In the second, reinforced concrete so they are not even the same.
In the first picture its an expensive hardwood and not many can afford to use it in all aspects of buildings, we're not made of money, you know? In the second instance it looks like a random event rather than fabrication specifications that saved that particular structure. But in both we can safely assume that they were incorporated intentionally by the photo-journalist to immediately convey to the viewer the fact that the devastation took place in Japan, rather than these support beams are some kind of superstructure.
Though I took time to answer them, I find your questions hard to take seriously, a bit of a joke really.

Re: Jokes of the Day
Here's one for Lee:
A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of lager and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says,
"Hang on! You're a duck."
"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.
"And you can talk!" Exclaims the barman.
"I see your ears are working, too," Says the duck.
"Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly, sorry about that,"
Says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many
Ducks in this pub.
What are you doing round this way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck. "I'm
A plasterer."
The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more,
But takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and
Proceeds to read it.
So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the
Barman good day and leaves.
The same thing happens for two weeks...Then one day the circus comes to
Town.
The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him
"You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be
Just brilliant in your circus.
He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"
"Sounds marvellous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card.
"Get him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,
"Hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good
Money."
"I'm always looking for the next job," Says the duck."Where is it?"
"At the circus," says the barman.
"The circus?" repeats the duck.
"That's right," replies the barman.
"The circus?" the duck asks again, "with the big tent?"
"Yeah," the barman replies.
"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who
Live in caravans?" asks the duck incredulously.
"Of course," the barman replies.
"The tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?"
Persists the duck.
"That's right!" says the barman.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says ...
"What the Fuck would they want with a plasterer??!"

How insane do you have to be to give a loaded automatic weapon to an animal? ^

An AK won't reload when firing blanks.
Not enough pressure in the port to push the piston back behind paper wads.

I assume in movies the AK's they use are replicas that don’t have these “limitations” and can use blanks or even only work with blanks.
