7.8 Magnitude
This ground movement is somewhat spectacular to witness, as far as how much energy was released to move Everything like that, and for how many miles in a wide area. The initial movement occurs around the 1:27 mark. Full Screen is Best.
If I had to guess the distance between the camera location and those brown colored buildings, I would say +/- 1/2 mile maybe.
You have to disregard the camera shaking and focus on the light brown background buildings in relation to the row of grey buildings on the right side of the street furthest from the camera. At approximately 1:45 the buildings in the background move left and then right a couple times.
You will have to put your expectations of how "Hollywood" would make it appear, aside. Focus on the two areas to see opposite movement of said buildings top left. .

The scariest part isn’t even the earthquake, it’s how the people crossed the street in the middle of moving traffic.

The traffic scene was even more remarkable than the earthquake itself. The way the people reacted also remarkable

I've been in an earthquake in Japan. Was stationed at Zama Hospital, just before it closed in '72-'74. You could feel the ground "rolling" under you. One of the strangest feelings, ever. Especially if you've never experienced one before.

All jokes aside, this would have been an absolutely terrifying situation to be in.

I like this flow of traffic. Nobody stops, everybody just goes.

The fact that nobody was actually looking at the two buildings mentioned earlier in the video

Wow, this is great that you're showing this. I can also say that the ground felt like it was a boat moving aggressively from side to side. It felt as if the earth literally was tilting 90º each way, like I was about to get thrown to the left then thrown to the right. It was absolutely terrifying being there.

It’s crazy how the road goes from utter chaos to everyone practically holding hands! Respect!

The only safe time to cross the road is when an earthquake hits.

Wow that was amazing and terrifying, the sight puts into perspective how small and insignificant people are compared to the earth and tectonic forces. Also the people's reactions show how most good people will look out for eachother

This day is still fresh in my mind. The fear I went through for myself and my family was immense. I couldn't think straight and was just stuck at one place. Nepal suffered a lot due to this, lots of people became homeless, cultural sitrs were destroyed,etc. Many people lost their lives too. I pray for them and their families 🙏🙏 And I'm glad people healed from it.
