What is liquefaction? Liquefaction takes place when loosely packed, water-logged sediments at or near the ground surface lose their strength in response to strong ground shaking. Liquefaction occurring beneath buildings and other structures can cause major damage during earthquakes.
In this case, the pilings used for support literally rotted away to powder by the pictures I've seen, once the ground started shaking from the first impact, the rest of the sand liquified and brought it all down.
I'm a Californian, who learned a lot about liquifaction during the 89 quake. It applies here as well.
