0:22 I love how that one lady in the red jacket just casually gets up looking annoyed at the earthquake like it just ruined her morning lol

Japan builds for earthquakes, and it's fascinating to watch how their architecture reacts during tremors.

Those school students did exactly what they were supposed to. No panic and straight under the desk. Props to those guys👍

I was in Osaka during the Great Hanshin Earthquake that pretty much razed Kobe. Even in Osaka the tremors were so severe, first time in my life I froze in shock and couldn't even scream like it happens in nightmares. I was amazed by the resilience of the Japanese people to recover and rebuild in such a short time after the quake.

I am a 73 yr. old who has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since middle school. In high school, one of my teachers was talking about earthquakes when, suddenly, an earthquake struck. It literally rippled through the class room; we could see it travel in waves across the floor! So strange, and yet pretty cool, too! If you are in an earthquake, try to get out of the building you’re in. Forget the silly notion of standing in a doorway…have you ever seen the aftermath of an earthquake and seen rubble scattered with free standing doorways?! No! If you can’t get out of the building, go under a desk. And always cover your head. Stay clear of windows and other glass objects. If possible, find a supported “triangle” area to get into…such as the open area between a bed, dresser, and other piece of furniture. And still cover your head! Even in a relatively mild earthquake, things can fly across the room and hit you in the head and kill you.

0:34 the cup was perfect

I've lived through the 9.2 earthquake in Alaska. Don't remember much about it though because I was only 4. But the biggest one here recently was the 7.2 in 2018. Broken glass everywhere! But what got me was the fact that the fridge opened and threw the milk out and then closed again. You couldn't stand or walk during the quake or it would throw you on the floor. Scary!

It must be terrifying to experience an earthquake... My heart goes out to Turkey and Syria right now....

In my country, there were two major earthquakes of 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude. Hundreds of thousands of people died, hundreds of thousands of houses were destroyed. While watching this video, I am amazed at how people laugh because while those people were laughing there, people were dying in our country. I understand that we are not doing what we should.

My sister experienced a very small tremor when she lived on the Canadian praries. She was relaxing on her couch when her folding closet doors started to rattle. She shouted, "Quincy cut it out!", thinking it was her cat being a nuisance. Then she noticed that Quincy was sleeping on the opposite end of the couch. That was when she noticed that the chandelier was swinging back and forth. She said she couldn't imagine how people lived through a strong earthquake because even that small tremor was kind of scary.

Big clap for the dog at 4:45

that dog at 5:35 was like, let me the fuck outta here. LOL

The video of the dog sensing the quake and the look in the guys eye …. That one freaked me out

Earthquakes last such a short period of time but feels live forever when youre in one.

Cats and dogs can feel and hear it quicker than human.

3:15と7:50、まだ揺れが小さい段階でも全員が素早く机の下に避難していて素晴らしい。 日本人は（悪い意味で）地震に慣れていることと、周りの人が動かなければ動きたがらない国民性が こうした素早い対応を遅らせているとよく思う。3.11の東京の映像を見ると、震度5～6ぐらいの揺れ でも手で頭を守るようにしている人は少数派。天井材や照明、外壁の一部が落ちて来ることだってある。 今一度、頭を守ってすぐ机の下へ！の精神を見習わなければ。

That building in Mexico City wasn't completely evacuated when the quake hit. There's a video of some dude recording inside the building and you see the moment the floor collapses on top of the one below. Mexico has a seismic alarm system, and it usually sounds at least a minute before an earthquake hits Mexico City to give people some time to evacuate or seek safer places to take cover, but on September 19th 2017 when that particular tremor hit the city, that alarm sounded like 30 seconds into the earthquake because the epicenter was way too close to the city so not everybody was able to flee. The Civil Safety Agency in Mexico also advices against evacuating buildings if you can't make it outside in less than a minute. That's why some buildings, especially skyscrapers, have "secure areas" marked inside that are supposed to be more resistant in case of an earthquake.

Did anyone notice the cup falling perfectly at 0:34? 😅

Japan is an earthquake-prone country and we are used to most earthquakes. In addition, indoors are safer because the building is highly earthquake-resistant.

That was some real good thinking that lady grabbing the nearest plastic basket to put it on her head 4:31

I lived in California for 23 years and only felt some mild ground motion from medium quakes far away. In one month in Bali in 2018 there were dozens of mag 6-7 quakes on the next island over, Lombok, with thousands of fatalities. We saw a sloshing pool, shaking buildings, and one even struck while we were in a taxi. It was an action-packed month with an eruption from Mount Agung and a lunar eclipse too. But my most dangerous moments were dodging the crazy scooter riders in Seminyak!

4:53 *the bossfight has begun.*

When there is an earthquake in Japan, ...everyone laughs

are we not gonna talk about how calm that one guy was walking out when the whole store fronts were shaking? 😂

Reconocí varios temblores 😋... soy chilena 😬 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

It's amazing how animals just know when a quake is about to happen, before it's even slightly perceptible to a human. They have senses that we don't.

Distance from the epicenter is the key, that 8.4 on Chile was very far away, so the Airport got hit by it as a 6.x But near the epicenter devastation was everywhere. This year we got hit by a 7.7 just 100km away and it is the strongest one I've ever felt, even stronger than a 8.1 because that one was 225km away, but it damaged way more homes in my region because decades ago the construction codes were non-existent.

Thank you for posting. Noticed how some people ran for cover while many didn't.

When 'nature' acts out, humans run! Dominion of the earth, eh?

4:09 hardcore coffee drinker 😂

We dont need Wars !! Mother World showing us who has the Power !!!

Great stuff thanks for sharing

Great compilation!

Grew up in Whittier, CA and have experienced dozens of quakes. The Northridge and Whittier quakes really stayed with me. Even some of the smaller ones get your heart going because you’re waiting for it to ramp up exponentially within the next few seconds though usually it doesn’t, you know that it certainly can, because at one time or another it has. I’d say on average it takes someone a week to shake it off (pardon the pun) and at least a month or even years to shake off a larger quake. What’s crazy is how different they can feel in relation to where the epicenter is. Whittier felt like we were going to die. The epicenter being directly below shakes the ground like a repetitive “uppercut” and it’s an insanely loud, violent attack! If you’re several miles away you can almost hear it approaching and when it hits, it can be sort of a wave or a side to side action. Then there are really deep ones that can make you feel nauseated and the movement is really subtle. An earthquake is like a box of chocolates… but not in a good way.

My favorite part was the office worker grabbing his coffee…. Priorities!

All earthquakes are scary but being Mexican and having an Earthquake on the the anniversary of the Sep 19 earthquakes is something else.

I've watched a lot of earthquake videos, but you had a bunch that I've never seen. Great selection!

magnitude 9.0 in an skyskraper on the 50th floor in Japan: "Stay calm. There was just been an earth quake." I had to giggle a bit. 😄

Love how everybody is so calm in some of these... just another Tuesday!

7:15 Not gonna lie, that’s really scary. Suddenly an earthquake happens and the person runs to the door, then the power turns off. I would’ve freak out.

I live in Canada where earthquakes are few and far between, and even then, they're usually small ones. In the area where I live, especially, they're practically unheard of. I think my grandmother experienced a very mild one when she was a little girl. Otherwise, nothing. Ground's pretty stable over here, luckily! 😅 I can't imagine what it must feel like to be in one, must be scary! 😱 And to think I'm planning to visit Japan soon... I better brace myself! 😵‍💫😭😆

11:46 Very impressed at that little store's packaging displays... almost nothing fell.

You gotta love the Asian guy grabbing his drink when the shaking started. While the guy is talking about that’s the biggest earthquake he’s been in, the Asian guy is sitting there taking a drink of his beverage. Lol

STOP. YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED 😭❤️

I love how that one guy saved his cup of coffee.

AMAZING SIR. ....SIMPLY AMAZING FOOTAGE. ... make another one boss. Love and respect from MEXICO.

Very nice footage!

Most safety thing to do: BE THE CAMERA MAN

My years of experience standing in buses have prepared me for this very moment

1:50 love the way the lights were dangling

The nervous laughter in many of these is really interesting... it's funny then scary then funny again, or something like that it seems

3:38 - Teacher: "Everybody is okay, nobody got hit by anything?" Students: "No." Teacher: "Damn."

0:35 the cup landed perfectly

Excellent video! 👍

3:44. Those Chad's don't even care about it lol.

Good video. It's crazy how long some of those quakes were. Thank you for sharing.

I have a very improved hearing so I also listen earthquakes some seconds before they strike. Those are the P waves, who travel faster, while the shaking is produced by the S waves

GREAT JOB. THANK.

Growing up on the San Andreas fault line, I was shaken up all the time. But THIS?!😬! Plus we had cats. So we almost always had a warning. Buildings there are built to withstand earthquakes. But I’m not sure they’d survive Japan’s, & other regions very well.

12:09 wtf the cat ran thru the gardon pot

The quakes at 7:47 and 11:56 were in Christchurch, N.Z. during the 2010-11 sequence.

4:50 This guy's just casually drinking his coffee during the earthquake. Just another day at the office.

I live in Maryland and I still remember the east coast earthquake in 2011. All these people reacted far better than I did. 😂🤣😂

Wow, that one at the start in the canal was epic. It was a literal mini tsunami in there.

We had an earthquake last night . Thankfully it was short, and light

I can't imagine how scary it would be to be stuck in a skyscraper during an earthquake. NO THANK YOU.

You can tell when it's an earthquake prone area and people look more irritated than scared. Especially the Alaska video, they just look like: 'Ugh! This again? pffft!'

look at how quick the animals are to react! when you pet starts acting boltish, pay attention!

i love your videos

Be strong, Turkey. God have mercy on you and always be with you in the most difficult times like this

The cameraman is always the strongest

Good effort good Chenal

Alaska, chile and japan have good infrastructures to stand earthquakes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very nice nature !

The cutest landing of the cup was adorable

4:10,the person sipping from a cup to prevent spilling ?Who could have though of that 😂 Goodjob!

Anyone else here after the 6.4(?) Humboldt county earthquake on 12/20/22. It's been a month but I'm still fascinated and looking up earthquake stuff, probably the strongest I've felt an earthquake even though I've lived throughout California all my life.

0:55 that lady is laughing, I guess she thought that this was the part of the trip LOL

2:08 is that my bike 🧐

Zagreb quake 5.5 on Richter scale is in the end. That was the scariest morning in my life. We were in lockdown and the whole city was so silent and then seconds change my life forever.

the way the people in Japan are just like "ah man this sh*t again" 😂

6:29 - that must have been when James Bond asked for his Martini - shaken, not stirred ! 😂🤣

Dog knew what was about the happen, amazing creatures ❤

12:10 The earthquake was too strong, the cat literally noclip through the walls!!

0:53 the earthquake was happening and the man was still holding his beer casually, he really was in a drunken state

0:34 the cup landing perfectly makes me giggle for some reason

Planet Earth is a VERY active planet! Seismologists and scientists who study earthquakes, say that about 20,000 earthquakes occur around our globe every year: that's about 55 per day! As a Californian most of my life until the last few years, I've felt my share of earthquakes over the years, and even one that was about 3.5 here in the northwest inland a couple of years ago! But in 1989, I was standing on Market St. in San Francisco, waiting to catch a bus to my car on the Coastside so heard about the earthquake on the radio in the car. I had just been standing where glass panes from the building above me crashed down, lucky I had been gone about five minutes! I drove to the post office and asked the gal there if she felt it, and she said "Oh YES!" I didn't know about the freeway collapsing until after I got home and saw the TV news. When I was a child, there was a big one in L.A. and my mother said that everyone ran out of the house onto the lawn and people were screaming, my sister screamed but my mother said I just fainted in a little heap on the lawn! I still have the old clock that fell off the mantle and broke its face in that quake! I had it repaired years later when I found it at my parent's place in the storeroom after they had passed away. I still have it over my fireplace on my mantle now and it still works just fine and has quite a gong for a medium-size mantle clock! I'm probably not going to feel one very often where I live now, but I fear sinkholes far more than earthquakes, so I won't even visit Florida anymore! I think there will be a time in a few years, with the glaciers melting, that coastal cities will be flooded, but what our Earth does all the time somewhere, is nothing like the nuclear war that humans could cause to really damage our Earth!

lol that dog was "aww hell naw" and noped right out of there

1:52 😂 the lights shaking in perfect sync

Geçmiş olsun TÜRKİYEM

I remember in my senior year in high school in 2012 I was in class when a 5.4 mag earthquake hit Oklahoma. That was the first of many I felt.

I was living in Berkeley, near SF, on Oct 1989. We experienced a 7.1 earthquake the epicenter of which was near San Jose... Quite frightening I must say. SOme 35 eyars later I keep a vivid memory from this event !

I love how the other video the lights were sync together

*_I lived through the Loma Prieta in '89 and the Ridgecrest in '19, both were terrifying._*

0:42 looks like a water quake.

I was in the big Newcastle earthquake and it was scary 😟 the one in Australia 🇦🇺

Great presentation. Thank you for just sharing the clips!

Hurricanes are a true force of destruction. The way they churn through entire communities is heart-wrenching

3:48 The one guy saves the most important Thing -his coffee 😂

Ayyy look at the lights on the ceiling having a rave :D
