Did you see

Good luck with that

The earthquake size comparison videos are so satisfying! Great work you do.

@@oliviaflores3930 thank you so much for watching and for spreading more earthquake awareness together! 🙂

Haha!! You are so creative!!

This actually happened to me in Mexico City, a small quake like a 5. something

my brother in christ i wrote that two weeks ago

@@zephynum and?

it's just a joke there's no need to be this mad over something so harmless 💀

I saw the one on the Titanic... I'd want to be at sea, and not at port or in dry-dock, when the Big One hits. Do avoid icebergs, though!

@@paulbrower Careful for tsunamis! I'd be even more terrified of being in The Poseidon Adventure than the big one itself lol

​@@leoribic1691 its called rouge waves If a Huge Wave doesn't hit a Land its Rouge Wave if it hits a land its called Tsunamis

Not too sure about that, I'd rather be in a helicopter in the air.

@@ghostinng274 yea the Helicopter can Hover or like stay floating in the air without having to move forward. Unlike airplanes

From where are you?

Yea,bi would love to see the building specs for the demonstration.

@@uncookedveggies I'm from Chile, we had a 8.8 earthquake 3 and a half minutes long by 2010. A lot of structures damaged of course, but not nearly as bad as countries that suffer with a 6 Richter one. In my zone no houses were damaged, even after years of other earthquakes consequent of the one I mentioned. I'm not gonna lie, not fearing a

@@kurotenshi8100 Yeah, likewise there are a bunch of videos of the 9.0 2011 Japan earthquake filmed in the terminal of Tokyo's airport, and it held up pretty well. It was kinda far from the epicenter, but then Sendai Airport is pretty close to the epicenter, and that terminal also held up well (though the airfield was flooded by the tsunami).

I can just press two buttons on my computer and the Airport will be back :D

@@EarthquakeSim Dude it takes a higher magnitude for a jet to be shaken around.

I’m surprised the air traffic control tower fell in a 6.8 magnitude. How can they be better built to not have that result?

@@zionmama150 steel structure with cross beams and a reinforcement concrete core column

@@EarthquakeSim do we know which air traffic control system towers need upgrades that way?

@@EarthquakeSim also, I would like to see you do an Eq sim for the historical buildings in Salt Lake City. There is talk of an Earthquake happening along the Wasatch Fault and I am curious what would happen to all those historical buildings there such as the temple and the Joseph Smith Memorial and Brigham Young’s house. It would be interesting also to see what would happen to the Capital building and the homes on the Avenues.

@@zionmama150 kind of!! But it's more a private thing I guess

P waves versus S waves? Great idea 👍

In comparison, for the February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake (M 6.1~6.3), even smaller magnitude, the maximum intensity reaches MMI IX-X, or even X+ based on some sources.

Yes!! I am planning to build a tower with a damper

​@@EarthquakeSimwhat app do you use

@@nikolas32447 As stated in the description. EarthquakeSim uses Blender with Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB - a structural simulation code made by Kai Kostack) which extends Blender´s basic physics functionality with a sophisticated toolset to simulate load dynamics in building structures. Hope this helps!

Omg really?!? That is crazy! I want to put your comment on a frame in my room❤️

@@EarthquakeSim ❤️

hehe! yep it's finally here! I can't believe that I've been postponing this project for a month

Because it was built up to high seismic codes 🙂 unlike this airport which is obviously not

2.0 g

Cause it was built for very strong earthquake unlike other airports that are not in an earthquake-prone region like Japan

In risk areas, Japan's infrastructure makes the Building, a station or an airport not collapse

@@EarthquakeSim Then you're over dramatizing it. You need to notate that this is a non code structure when you're creating these. It's fake.

You are so welcome!!

yep! I first wanted to make this 2 months ago

the planes look a lot safer!

The planes look like they have hydraulics lol

Thank you so much!

Yep! I will be in touch with some game developers and see what can be created :)

@@EarthquakeSim You should contact one of these youtuber's that are developing

nice!!

A Cascadia quake would be felt very differently than any other quakes in California. I should make a simulation showing longer period seismic waves

Thanks for watching!

Yes but it is totally subjective… a 7.0 quake happening at 300km depth barely causes any shaking. You see what I mean?

Mercalli scale is the most accurate in describing the actual ground shaking

@@EarthquakeSim I am still glad you put in the Richter scale, though. That system measures energy, the other one seems more subjective. Maybe if they would put the Richter scale reading at the surface. At 300 km depth the actual reading at the surface would be small.

@@richardthomas5362 But then you wouldn´t use the Richter Scale anymore. MMI is the far better way to describe an Earthquake. Its not subjective since it is also related to the ground accelleration which is measureable.

there's many airports like this one around the world! Sadly, we only hear about them after they collapse...

thanks for watching :)

@@EarthquakeSim wow, thanks for letting me know and thanks for the quick response! Wasn’t expecting that but obviously the creator went above and beyond. I appreciate it!

@@sucran yep!! 😁let me know what you would like to see next!!

@@EarthquakeSimalr! Maybe a video about some famous landmarks (like the Eiffel Tower or Christ the redeemer) vs an earthquake! Thanks again!

Yep!! I’ve noticed that after publishing the video! I’ll write it in the description ☺️ thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for the donation!! ❤️ I'll make sure to give you credits in my next video

You are so welcome! :) glad to have you here!!

Yep!! The planes are very strong. They are supposed to fly at high altitudes and high speeds

@@EarthquakeSim Makes them basically immune to even the strongest of the quakes you simulated.

Yep!!

Thank you so much!! 🙂

Very shallow depth. 10 km depth

I’m going to write that in description ☺️

And I would also like to point out that there is a huge difference between 0.5g PGA and 0.7g PGA. There are only a few earthquakes on Earth with a PGA above 0.5g or a spectral acceleration above 2g. There are some astonishing examples, such as the 6.1 Mw earthquake in Düzce, Turkey on November 23, 2022, which had a PGA of 0.54g! So magnitude is not directly related to acceleration. We will be able to see this in 4 >7.0 Mw earthquakes that will occur in the Marmara Sea in the future. The largest earthquake will be 7.7 Mw in the Eastern Marmara Sea, a 7.3 and 7.4 in the Central Marmara Sea, and a 7.4 in the Western Marmara Sea (Ponytail fault model for Marmara( Prof. Dr. Cenk YALTIRAK's).) In the 7.7 earthquake, 1.1g PGA will be recorded in the Herzegovina Delta (western end of Izmit Gulf)! This is a world record and has not been seen in 2004 Indonesia, 2011 Japan or 1960 Chile earthquake! The southeast of the European side of Istanbul will experience 0.7-0.9g acceleration (the map is much more detailed), while the Anatolian side (Gebze, Pendik or nearby) will see 0.8-1g or less. The impact of the earthquake will significantly decrease as you move away from the two ends or the center of the fault because it will be a shallow earthquake (8-13km). Acceleration on the north side of Istanbul will be 0.3g. Of course, in most places that will be subjected to acceleration above 0.7g, the spectral acceleration may be above 2.2g... The VS30 ground magnification velocity of the Herzegovina Delta, which will be exposed to 1.1g PGA, is 280 m/s², which is very bad. In this case, the spectral acceleration here may exceed 3g (maybe 3.5?). If all 4 faults break, it will be 7.9 Mw. Here, of course, acceleration values will increase, but mostly on the European side of Istanbul. On the Anatolian side or in the Herzegovina Delta, the other 3 earthquakes will not have much impact (still will, but much less than 7.7...). So in this case, a place that will see 0.7g PGA on the European side of Istanbul may see 0.79g PGA... Or a place that will see 0.9g will see 0.94-0.97... I got carried away because this is my area of interest:)

You must see this haha:)

I'm happy you like it!

Not much from what I remember. The problems were in the areas with soil liquefaction like in the Marina District

@@EarthquakeSim But isn't SFO also built on landfill?

Also, I'm guessing things like the fuel lines ruptured during the quake, leading to a raging fire that firefighters struggled to extinguish because the water main also broke. What happened to Baggage Claim and stuff and can you lock cameras into the insides of areas that collapse? Like the ATC tower. I'm curious what it would be like for some poor soul at their desk.

Richter scale is logarithmic, +1 magnitude is 10 times more powerful Example: A magnitude 5 earthquake is 10 times more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake MMI scale measures the strength of the tremor, the greater the Intensity on the MMI scale, more greater is the damage

@@Lucassogos Ah. Ok. Thanks!

hehe! Where's the airport located?

@@EarthquakeSim O'Hare airport Chigaco. Oh wait, DOES THAT MEAN I AM GOING TO THE LORAX AIRPORT?

Thank you so much for watching the video!

I’m using Blender 3D with BCB

Yep! Totally agree about the tower. I'm happy you watched the video! What would you like to see next?

@@EarthquakeSim it would be cool to see the harbour bridge in Auckland it’s a babyhood landmark for me👶 very nostalgic for me it’s made out of steel and consists of trusses, they are supposed to add a sidewalk on that huge freaking bridge but I’m starting to doubt it it would be cool if you add a sidewalk like the one planned to be added to the bridge thank you for listening

@@EarthquakeSim -- out of a grim fascination: the White House the US Capitol the Washington Monument the Pentagon the Lincoln Memorial.... Statue of Liberty Independence Hall Mount Rushmore (obviously not in real life!)

You might be surprised to find out that airports can operate just fine without air traffic control towers. Many small fields without airline service do so 24/7, as they just don't have a tower to begin with; other airfields do so during times when the tower is unstaffed, either due to scheduling or an emergency situation (such as an evacuation due to disaster or the threat of such, or, as happened in Vegas a couple years ago, the controller on duty suffering a stroke or other medical emergency). The latter case is called "ATC Zero," and would apply here. Basically, at that point, the airport reverts to an "uncontrolled field," where the pilots operating there work out their own traffic management solutions on the fly, by A) reporting their locations and intentions to other pilots by radio over a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (in the case of a closed tower, that would be the normal control tower frequency), and 2) watching for each other to maintain separation and avoid collisions. (It's a big sky out there and if you're careful, there's plenty of room for everyone.) Once they have confirmation that the runways and at least some of the taxiways and ramp areas are intact and clear of debris, the airport can be reopened under ATC Zero/uncontrolled field operations to allow at least limited traffic in and out in fair weather. The control tower isn't *required* for operations, it merely makes them more efficient by providing a "big eye in the sky" viewpoint that can coordinate traffic.

correct :) because I wanted to show all the effects that each earthquake intensity can cause

Yep! Earthquake Sim sign survives the XII 🙃 it was a deliberate decision😀

some entertainment and some education :)
