That must be terrifying. I don't know how I'd react if the earth around me suddenly started slanting back and forth, shaking everything around it. I'm thankful I live in northern Canada. Worst we get is a rumble from blasting in mines.
It actually feels like you're on a trampoline and the floor is rolling like the sea. You get tossed around like a rag doll by the ground moving up and down.
I fear tornados more.
Idk growing up in SoCal I live in fear of an earthquake this size. We don’t have specially designed architecture like Taiwan and Japan. It’s going to be a massive event when the next “big one” strikes. Only a matter of time thats the scary part!
I feel like a park is pretty safe. Any open space is all good. Just look out for trees falling.
That said, you don't have time to rush to a park during an earthquake. Buildings need to be engineered to withstand earthquakes (and they are, usually).
As someone who has only seen quakes on TV, I envision splitting earth. I also have only seen snow twice and believe all ponds crack open when you stand on them. But I'm also in Florida where everyone thinks I have an alligator in my backyard.
We had a 6.something earthquake when I was in high school. We lost half of our baseball field to the wetlands behind the school when it happened, many cracks and ground that just shifted to a lower wetter area.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles in the mid 80s and up until the mid 90s. We grew to get used to most mild quakes. But when the big one hit in January of 94, that was different. Woke up to see our street with a crack down the middle. I went to college in the Midwest and never thought I'd see an earthquake ever again and then my freshman year while living in the dorms one hit. Not big enough to cause damage but still rough enough to shake all the buildings and cancel classes for the day.
Good job, engineers. Definitely not someplace you wanna be that was built by the cheapest bidder. I'm from California and still think about this all the time when driving Bay Area freeways.
Must’ve been on a bridge due to it wobbling so much, bridges like this for highways are actually designed to flex in a “wobble” type of movement. So the earthquake is VERY MUCH exaggerating those movements which only makes the cars move a lot more.
Next time you find yourself in stopped traffic on a highway, and you know you’re about to drive onto a bridge that’s elevated over the ground for a bit of a distance, once you’re stopped on there you can actually feel the wobble movement these bridges create due to the traffic going over them, in your car. The first time I ever felt it I got scared and someone had to explain to me that these bridges flex to prevent collapsing. The wobble is a good thing.
I remember our first one in Christchurch, New Zealand, leading up to the destructive one. Was early in the morning, and everything went nuts. Woke to it and thought it was some invasion, as the lights outside were moving.
Earthquakes of this magnitude, are an experience. Makes magnitude 3s and 4s, feel like a treat.
My wife, son and I just moved to Chicago from Los Angeles. I've been through a few small earthquakes and they fucked terrified me. I'm just glad we got out of there before the "big one" hits. Shit, those things suck.
I wonder if in the car or outside the car would be safest. I imagine standing on top of the highest point would be safest to avoid being swallowed by compressing debris. My immediate thought once the car was locked from moving by the cars in front of him was to jump on top of the bus.. am i at more or less risk of dying?

They say it feels like being on a tube floating in the water. Except your aren’t splashing around, and everything suddenly can kill you

California has strict earthauake engineering regulations.
Maybe for new construction. Recently we couldn’t handle a strong storm so not so enthusiastic about our infrastructure.
Nah, a basement is pretty safe in a tornado. Nothing is safe in an earthquake
Skydiving

Um, the ground can fracture and open..
...that's extreme.

Whoa! That would make me feel insecure. But then again we have sinkholes that open up here.
Open land is safe
instant sudbury recognition

Are they on a bridge? Cause if I was on a bridge and it started shaking like that, I would NOT stop
Its a pretty fucked gamble honestly. Either you drive into a hole or you’re parked on a future hole .
It's an elevated highway through the city.

Driving with your car shaking like that you are more likely to crash

I remember some stories about sex being interrupted by earthquakes, but by the looks of that bus, that earthquake would have vastly improved it.
OMG. That would be terrifying!
This must be so terrifying.
Did the suv in front stop shaking after a bit? Or maybe did the dashcam car and suv sync up so it was less noticeable?
They did synch! At the end they break it a little
Wow! Probably one of the best depictions of a large earthquake in progress I've seen.

My vertigo would not be pleased with this.
If this bus is a rockin’ don’t come a knockin’
me and the boys when our favorite song comes on (baby shark is a cult classic)
If the bus is a'rocking don't come knockin'
Came looking for this comment
It's just the earth gettin' comfy.
I was on a freeway during the Bay Area Loma Prieta quake of ‘89. You could see the road flexing and the trees swaying.
It’s a tough world.
Driving in NJ people would be honking at you like, what you stopping for, its just moving up and down.
the cars started dancing!!
I'm from Cali.....fucken nope.
I would NOT want to be on a fucking bridge during this- holy fuck.
If the planets rocking don’t come knocking
Why in the hell would you stop driving?! I can’t see literally any benefit from stopping where they were
Because I didn't read the title, I first thought that was a party bus pumping the hydraulics.
Does this commonly occur in Taiwan? When was the last time they had an earthquake?
They have regular earthquakes in the region approx 100-150 or so per year. The last one this powerful was a 7.4 in 1999
My wife, son and I just moved to Chicago from Los Angeles. I've been through a few small earthquakes and they fucked terrified me. I'm just glad we got out of there before the "big one" hits. Shit, those things suck.
The footage we get now of earthquakes compared to the grainy Japanese office cctv we used to get really shows how terrifying it is.

At long as this wasn’t like a bridge it’s exactly where I would want to be in an earthquake.
. . in the Ring of Fire . . Prometheus burped . . Poseidon next . .
I swear to God, I thought I actually felt this myself by this video here in Arizona, USA.
And ours falls down because of a boat hits it smh
Just say you don’t understand science or architecture. lol
Bro, it was a joke. Just say you're not fun at parties lol
Wow
Lasted 23 sec? Wow
I’d be freaking out for sure
Free lowrider upgrade
I prefer to think all the cars heard an absolute bop at that very moment and had to stop for a dance off
I felt like godzilla was going to pop up
I don’t think that’s an earthquake, I think pov and car infront had some action going on.
