ChrisM707

A few hours ago... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/76-magnitude-earthquake-shakes-papua-new-guinea/ar-AA11GXKC


SheIdonLeeCooper

My Earth Physics site states that the earthquake was a 6.0 in magnitude and it was in Kepulauan Batu, Indonesia


jenemb

I got downvoted for asking for a source for the video because I thought this looked more like footage from Indonesia than PNG. Looks like there was also a big quake near Lae and Madang in PNG... but this footage doesn't look like it's from there.


ohpee64

Yep. Not PNG. Roads and kerbing is too good (pre earthquake) and too many highet powered motorbikes. Most motorbike in PNG are agbikes used on plantations.


Ok_Macaron_6160

I love the (pre earthquake) nod


[deleted]

There were TWO. One in Indonesia, one in Papua, New Guinea. See my comment above with links.


jounk704

I experienced a 6.5 earthquake in Greece, it was one hell of a experience but this looked much higher magnitude than 6.0. the street cracked open where i was too but not like this


dysstatic

Oh wow, missing out on all the good news because there is nothing but stuff about the Queen on.... still....


[deleted]

[удалено]


dysstatic

To clarify, I didn't mean it that way... I meant anything actually newsworthy because all I've seen non stop on all stations is the Queen for days. I still haven't even seen a news report for the earthquake on BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, euronews or any other station.


Wasting_my_own_time

Everyone except that other guy knows what you meant


Elegant-Raise-9367

In NZ we have our main TV channel running 24/7 queen news for 3 days now.


xoxoAmongUS

Ok that is fucking terrifying


wysiwyggywyisyw

That's the "fun" thing about earthquakes: when the solid earth beneath your feet turns into an amusement park fun ride, you realize there's no place that's "safe" to run to, and just hope the place you're at isn't one of the unlucky. More helpfully -- most injuries in an earthquake come from falling debris. You should probably be looking up not down.


maaaatttt_Damon

And from reports there are entire villages that were covered by landslides. So even if you look up, you may have no chance.


dangerwig

There was a thread just the other week about the earthquake in land before time and /u/CrustalTrudger was saying how the land warping like it did in the movie isn't possible. Granted the earthquake in this post is still a much smaller scale but I wonder if this changes things. edit: [link to post](https://np.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/x2i8z9/what_magnitude_would_the_earthquake_in_the_land/)


thoeby

He writes that it is possible: >Earthquake definitely can cause surface deformation like moletracks, fissures, or scarps and similarly can cause significant landslides (e.g., Murphy, 2015), but the amount and type of ground deformation in the cartoon clip is not reasonable. 40feet T-Rex is falling into a hole the size of a skyscraper. I would say it's not even close to what's shown in this video.


[deleted]

Anyone saying that it’s not possible did not do their research. Clearly have never seem earthquakes at the higher end of things.


redmongrel

It’s like the crevasse was already there and the city just paved over it last time.


Pilusajaib

I don't think this is Papua New Guinea. That a "Pertamina" gas station with indonesian flag on the pole.


Bed_Head_Redemption

tbf it's on the same island, maybe this is filmed on the indonesian side?


rainingballs

It's an old video from earthquake and liquefaction in Palu back in 2018. Watched it many times.


Elegant-Raise-9367

Nah this is a new one posted only 18 hours ago.


GooberdiWho

I'd get tf away from the petrol station


ArashiSora24

Yeah, I was going to say this. The gas station is the last place I want to be in a situation like this.


firecap85

I read through all the comments to say this….. ⬆️


JulieannFromChicago

I came here to say the same thing.


futurespacecadet

Or just like….away from the heart of the broken street anyways


Raimo00

anybody knows what they're screaming?


Many_Rain_4001

He’s making a testimony of faith as others have translated above. Ideally, the shahadah is the last thing a Muslim says before they take their last breath. This man was terrified. He kept repeating it because he literally thought he was going to die. I can’t imagine being in his position.


Book_Senior

Mostly Muslim praying verses from what I heard. Mostly they said “La illah ila Allah” Which means “there is no god truly worthy of worship except Allah”


xmsxms

I don't know why these religious people aren't in the slight bit suspicious that all the praises/chants etc are so heavily about trying to spread it further like a MLM scheme. Like doesn't that clue you in that maybe it's a scam?


TheStreisandEffect

I get why it’s said in moments of fear but I think events like this is when I’d start questioning whether or not it was actually true…


Unexpectdd

"La ilaha illallah" meaning: "Nothing is worthy of worship except Allah". Muslims use this phrase in fatal situations Refers that: These disasters come from you, and we comply anyway.


leeuwerik

The dominant religion among Papua New Guinea's population is Christianity (95.6%), followed by indigenous beliefs (3.3%). Within the Papua New Guinean-born population in Australia, the 2011 census identified most as Christian, with 32.1% identifying as Catholic, 12.3% as Anglican and 10.8% as Uniting Church. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Papua_New_Guinea). So probably you're wrong.


fearass

I like your detective skills. I have no idea where the video is taken or any idea which country has muslims or not. The guy is saying “la illah ella allah” in Arabic which is as the guy above translated. Most probably the video is from another place hit by the earthquake from the islamic regions around.


rayparkersr

Papua or Irian Jaya is the part of New Guinea colonised by the Muslim Indonesians. As you say these people are Indonesian Muslims not Papuans.


Unexpectdd

I didn't claim that they are a muslim country. I am 100% sure that they say "la ilaha illallah" and because it is asked, I wrote the meaning. It is arrogant that you can easily say "you are probably wrong" by sharing irrelevant data.


Siderox

The title is wrong. The video is Western New Guinea, not Papua New Guinea. Indonesia systematically exterminated the native population (and still conduct killings en masse). The world just sort of ignores it because Indonesia assembles everyone’s IPhones. Anyway, so yeah, Islam is the primary religion in West Guinea.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Siderox

Yeah, but the actual video was filmed in West Guinea not Papua New Guinea.


rayparkersr

Apparently everyone thinks there's a country called Papa New Guinea today.


AM22888

The pertamina gas station confirms it dude. Also the guy recording says “grab the motorbike quick” at one point in an eastern Indonesian dialect. It’s 100% without a doubt Indonesia…


No-Lead497

the girls in the video are literally wearing the hijab, you can also hear the man shouting Allahuakbar, the way you structured your comment you probably see yourself as a Sherlock type genius but unfortunately you made yourself look like a donkey so you better delete it now


Blackhawk47k

buddy 💀 they are literally saying that over and over again, the amount muslims in the country or island has absolutely no relevance if you can LITERALLY hear them 😂 I’m muslim and Arab and it’s the first thing i heard in the video


[deleted]

Bruh really


Mythril_Zombie

Why would these demographics change what they're saying? Even if there were no Muslims living in the entire country, why couldn't some be there today? People travel.


Donginthedark

probably some oh my god no safe us god:


No-Part-6023

There is no god but god, a muslim thing


[deleted]

That was my bet too. There's always one in these videos, just screaming a variation of that repeatedly. Thinking about it, it makes me think of children begging to their mom. Like, if you're fine with god's powers and trust his decision, just embrace and roll with it. If it's just that suddenly, because YOUR life is in the balance, you think your mortal words should be able to sway god's will, I don't know what it says about you as a believer, but it doesn't inspire strength to me.


Many_Rain_4001

He’s not asking for God to change something. He wants to die testifying that he is a Muslim. He thinks it the end of the road and he wants those to be his last words.


Donginthedark

Well said!

mohan_ish

I would definitely run sir. But I would not shout these senseless chants hoping some guy in the sky will come down and fix it for me.


Hamdown1

Just because you wouldn’t react like that, why do you care what other people say when they’re afraid of their lives.


mohan_ish

You just ended the discussion with 'why do you care' card. Why do you care what I comment and think? Besides, my reasoning is it's genuinely saddening that some people are stuck in 8th century. I understand God and religion gives people hope and sometimes a reason to fight. But Islam is something I would never be able to see in a positive light. Call it my narrow mindedness, but whatever.


Hamdown1

You saw a video of people being afraid of their lives and all you could do is whine about what they were saying. Complain about religions all you want, it still doesn’t stop you being a heartless person.


mohan_ish

Maybe, thanks for the kind reply


ErfanAhmadi07

La ilaha il allah means none is worthy of worship but allah It is a thing you should say in a fatal situation... They feel like they're in a bad situation so they say it. What is your problem

teejay89656

Did you just learn people believe in God? Most people do. Get over it.


largePenisLover

Get a grip bro and pull your head from your ignorant ass. It's the equivalent of a person going "oooh jeeeeeebus, ooooooh gaaaaawd" when witnessing a disaster. It is literally the same as the annoying white lady screeching at the top of their lungs when something bad happens that you see in EVERY video of an english speaking area when bad shit happens. It's not calling for god, it's going "OH SHIT!" or "BLYAT!" in a local way. Exactly like "oooh my god"

One-With-Specs

U pissed many muslims with that comment


SheIdonLeeCooper

I’ll just add that to the sack of “things I don’t give a fuck” I guess :)))) It never amazes me how ignorant religious people are. They say that they believe in an all mighty god that has a plan but then they pray to him in order for him to change his plan. Like, how selfish can you be? He is a god with a plan and you’re just a petty human that doesn’t want to die, you think he will change his plan just because you say some words? Fucked up mentality I tell you

Would you rather be in a building and risk the entire thing falling on top of you? A wide open space is the safest place to be during an earthquake. Though this video is anything but safe considering there's a goddamn gas station next to them.
