I experienced several quakes in Japan. Lived on the 7th floor of a 9-story apartment building on an USAF base. Japanese always building with earthquakes written into the code. Scared the bejesus out of me every time. No picture or video can come close to the feeling of utter helplessness and dread when the constants of the physical world around you are undefined.
They scare the bejesus out of me too and most of the ones I've been in were in California. I was in a small one in South America and thrust earthquakes shake in a more scary way than strike slip ones do, at least in my opinion, because the one small earthquake I felt in Peru was much scarier than the 7s I felt in California with the possible exception of the Landers earthquake (which no one seems to ever talk about anymore) but I was pretty young when that one happened.
When I was stationed at Misawa AB I lived in a housing tower on the 4th floor I could feel the building sway during earthquakes. It felt so weird.
IF WE DON'T LAUGH WE CRY. NO INBETWEEN. Bob Hope; When earthquakes strike I just jump on a helicopter and say; FOLLOW THAT CITY! On one occasion I stayed in bed for a few days and ended up with 3 different postcodes.❤😢

“undefined,” an excellent word to define your feeling!
I have a fine friend who was also stationed in the USAF in the early1980’s, and wrote about her experiences when, well...as you aptly stated…her proxemics were “undefined.”
I had another dear friend who sold his business in Alaska the day before the earthquake hit on his own birthday. He said that he felt it was a “sign” that he should leave the state…though he didn’t believe in such personal communications…
I recall the LIFE magazine cover article in the Alaska earthquake while a young child - and as my future friend was nearly two and a half decades older - and always “recalled” the cover photo featuring a tattoo shop. (The Great Alaskan Earthquake occurred twenty years before he and I met.) Though I have yet to find a tattoo shop in any LIFE magazine photo from that edition, much less the cover itself, guess what business D. Louis Nolan was in while in Anchorage?? He had a tattoo shop.
Nolan began tattooing in 1955, worked out of or owned quite a few shops, and tattooed until Fall of 2018; never actually retiring, but being retired by death very early in 2019. Speaking of the LIFE magazine article, Nolan had long stated that his former shop had wound up “in some magazine,” as he told of the earthquake. He said that the ground shaking was the worst feeling! Business cards from Nolan’s various shops exist in private collections around the world. When I hold a card from Anchorage I try to imagine . . .
It all sounds as terrifying as it looks!!
I lost both of my grandparents from the earthquake in turkey on 6th of February 2023, they both lived in a small village and we couldn’t believe they passed. May people who have lost loved ones and been affected from these disasters find the strength to stay strong in these tragic situations
😢
very sad to hear that. stay strong.
my mom was born and raised in cdmx. she was actually walking to class when the massive earthquake hit in 1985. she said it felt like she kept tripping and couldn't get her balance as she was walking, but it was actually the streets violently shaking. buildings around her were swaying, too, and she's lucky none of them collapsed as she was walking by. there was no power and the phones weren't working, so it took her a full day to be able to get in touch with her family. luckily, their building survived and they were all fine (the part of the city they lived in was one of the lesser-affected areas, though it still took a ton of damage) but they stayed at her great-aunt's single-storey house for about a month after bc they didn't know if the building was at risk of collapse. the wildest thing is that earthquakes are a very common thing in mexico city - i've felt several while staying at my grandparents' and my family there is well used to them. 1985, though, was something no one had ever seen and the city still hasn't fully recovered. i don't think it ever will. so many parts of the city were completely razed by the quake and sadly, a lot of the people there were simply crushed to death by the falling rubble. it's insane that my own mom directly experienced one of the most catastrophic earthquakes in recorded history.
That would be terrifying !!!
As an American I wish we would concentrate on helping people such as this than aiding other countries to engage in war. As a people I know most feel this way. Too bad our government has decided for decades to ignore the voice of the people.
I completely agree. Hell, we don't even help our own people these days either. All the money goes to the military industrial complex.
Helping people who are the victims of war, like aiding Ukraine to defend itself against Russia's aggressive invasion, now that is a worthy cause.
I live in Anchorage, Alaska & we get quakes alot in our state of Alaska & was in the one in 2018. It was a 7.2 but we are more ready here & not as many people that's for sure
There are places in California that you can take a guided car tour of the San Andreas Fault. At one place you can see how the fault cuts through the hills and mountains for miles. They explain how there is no way any part of the state can or will fall into the ocean, like idiots like to say will happen. A large majority of the damage to San Francisco happened because they added sand to the shores in the bay. When earthquakes happened, the new land vibrated and became soft, called liquefaction. The sections of freeways that collapsed in the Sylmar earthquake in 1971 were the same ones that fell in the Northridge earthquake in 1994.
I was also surprised that they didn't mention all the fill in San Fransisco nor liquefaction nor the fact that the same freeway fell in both Sylmar and Northridge. I was also socked that they didn't even mention Japan since that's one of the first things a lot of people think about when we think about Japan.
Meanwhile western Washington is just like "ah, yes, we did indeed build one of the most populated areas of the country on top of backfill dumped into the puget sound and yes, we are indeed on top of a subduction zone. Whyever would that be a problem?" To be fair no one was aware of the cascadia fault line at the time, but still.
That is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the Cascade Mountains inland are here in relation to the Zone. I learned this from the Geology Professor Nick Zentner who is with Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, USA. @@ZebraGirl97
If you live in California just remember this if a bad earthquake occurs don't expect any help... you have to be prepared to tough it out on your own for a little while. help cannot come instantly. Never ever make the assumption that you can rely on the government to come help you
Same for hurricanes (at least in Florida), they suggest you have *at least* three days worth of water on hand, preferably five-to-seven just because if it really goes badly, they simply CANNOT physically get the trees off of the road fast enough to find everyone everywhere within just a day or two! And they even have heavy equipment to help them with clearing stuff, too! It's just not possible for them to do everything immediately...as with "Freedom", we need to do our own part in securing ourselves, Just In Case.
The government doesn't even help you when there hasn't been a disaster and there's no way they'll help once there is one. Luckily no one died during our last 7 but I imagine it's going to be different when we finally get the 8 we're expecting. Those should be exciting times.
I may be barely in my 20's and Mexican, but I can tell you that earthquakes are horrendos. In September 2017 I was on my way to highschool when it decided to strike, my automovile was swinging like crazy, when a huge crack sounded and then there was a column of smoke, when I heard the crack I told mu mom that something had broken, I later saw on the news that it was a buildin near where I was. The rest of the day was gloomy and the tension could be felt. I live in an infamous zone (from the 1985 earthquake in México City), Tlatelolco, and because this horrible tragedy of 1985 the Topos Tlatelolco where born, they are reliable. We should learn from these events to lend a hand when needed cause we don't know when the ones who will be needing it will be ourselves
5 star documentary thanks
Approximately 34 years ago I lived in So Cal and I saw my dog go under the dining room table and just seconds later we had a quake strong enough to tear a few cabinets away from the wall in the kitchen. It’s a very strange thing to feel when the floor shakes.
I'm surpirsed that the 1976 Tangshen China earthquake wasn't listed, it's estimated that over 242,000 people were killed.
Developing countries? How many people died during hurricane Katrina, and why?
prayers to out to all involved.
Why make these buildings so tall?
BIG BANG ❣
I remember when the North Ridge hit around the L A area...1994 at about 4 in the morning..I was just leaving for work.. That's the worst one I can remember experiencing ..
It's not an experience I would willingly repeat..
😱 I was living in Santa Monica close to the Pacific Palisades...
I have to wonder how much, if any, the weight of the endless building of skyscrapers has on tectonic plates.
I would suspect it would be similar to stacking 10 or 15 coins on your roof. Not much at all. The materials used to build tall buildings largely come from the same area, so it results in a small, localized transfer of weight relative to the crust,. The weight transfer is small enough as to be insignificant regarding earthquakes.
throughout this docu i was like... where is japan? i learned a lot about Haiti but not much about earthquakes
I would be very scared for the first time
The Haiti earthquake was a 7.0 magnitude in Jan 12, 2010.
The Chile earthquake was 8.8 magnitude on Feb 27, 2010.
Haitians dependent on everyone to provide aid and rebuild. The Chileans got a lot less international aid and rebuilt themselves.
Commentators gloss over issues, very brittle buildings. Is really poor infrastructure, few building codes, and mass high occupancy shacks.
This world has riches untold. There's no reason for people to live the way they do. WHY???
Greed and no one willing to do anything about it
Okay so some of these videos of the aftermath of earthquakes in California showed one earthquake in a totally different part of California while they were talking about another earthquake. I've seen enough of these documentaries to know which clips are from which earthquakes and some of them, I was in myself. Also, I can't believe there was an earthquake video that did not mention Japan (although I definitely saw some footage from Kobe).
Yikes
There is something way wrong with a child dragging a dead body up the road on a sled ,and with everyone else minding there own bissness ...
best get ready for sink holes
Haiti is not an island. Haiti is on the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic
There is no fault line going through Europe, it runs withing north Africas coastline
3 types
To see the devestation that so often comes upon these God-fosaken people is just heart breaking to me. I have a Doctor friend (MD) who flew down to Haiti after this terrible earthquake and had stories to tell that would bring tears to your eyes.
Where I live we really don't get quakes, at least we never used to - but there is a fault line along the Strip (Las Vegas) that scientists have noticed has become active in recent years.
I lived in LV in 2015 near Nellis and felt an earthquake then. I thought it was the washer making the TV move and it was an actual earthquake
@@Know-ns6vl Yup, felt that to. Also felt the one in 2018 when I used to work part time security at the Mandalay Bay. Wasn't fun, given I was on the walkway *over* the courts -,-
If, at any point in my life, were to just stumble across a raccoon in need that did not have a deep and real desire to aggressively hiss at me and make me think as though they just may want to cause harm to me… I would waste NO time bringing it home with me and providing it with a life that it deserves!! I would love nothing more, actually. That sounds just outstanding! Lol
14:10 starcraft noises :D
Quakes are the most deadly simply because we live like rats in an unstable maze. We are surrounded by structures built by the lowest bidder . Some a century old without up to date renovations . I’m lucky I live in the 1st world in a quake proof neighbourhood. Gas lines have been phased out here in favour of underground power lines everything in our buildings is electric much safer for the general public no more downed power lines during storms or car accidents etc. More efficient . Gas is so explosive & costly. Building will sway rather then crumble . If you stand out in a field during a massive quake the odds of you getting hurt or killed are slim . Nothing to fall on you right …
The odds of the ground opening up
between your legs is pretty unlikely lol. You may fall & bust a hip I probably would I have bad balance due to vertigo . But at least I’d be alive. It’s terrifying to live amongst concrete structures that’ are falling apart . Still gotta long ways to go around here & everywhere else . Trial & error
a word about power source dangers and costs: Electric power, vs. having both electric & gas (since one can/t have gas-only like you can have electric-only) is potentially as dangerous as gas in an earthquake because of the heightened chances of electrocution in earthquake situations. Gas explodes, electricity electrocutes, your comment on cost relativity: in almost all of America, electricity is a cheaper source of heat for cooking and heating water and air... I lived in an all-electric apt. one winter... and the electric furnace and hot water bill was ***double*** what having gas hot water, furnace, and stove would have been. Google for your locale as proof, and/or Call your local power company(ies)
The reality is SELF GOVEMENT
Earthquakes are a way of life in Washington State.
Also Kashmir is INDIAN TERRITORY.
Really? How many have you experienced?
6-7magnitude happens every 20-40 years. The last one was 2001 Nisqually quake. A 8- 9 magnitude every 200-900 years. And there are very shallow very small earthquakes all the time but they are too small to be noticable. Although Washington state has A LOT of fault lines and minor activity, earthquakes that can be felt are few and far between.
@@sherimatukonis6016 before living in Washington I’ve lived in California. I’ve experienced at least four different earthquakes altogether. Most of them are relatively small, but they still happen regardless.
@@ultrajd ok... How many have you actually experienced IN WASHINGTON which is what we're talking about. People discussing earthquakes confuse Washington and California way too much already, let's not encourage that. Cascadia Subduction Zone only goes as far south as Mendocino (sp?). California is NOT what they're talking about when they say "everything west of I-5 will be toast". That's Washington and Oregon.
Washington gets few and far between earthquakes that can be felt. Anyone under 22 likely hasn't felt one.
@@sherimatukonis6016 Two
I would love to see one of these documentaries done by the native people of the place affected. I want to hear what the Haitian people have to say about barriers to rebuilding with earthquakes in mind. I want to know what they think about who should be held accountable for lax building standards. I want to know what they want their future to look like. Not some mealy mouthed western journalist with a case of Western Savior Syndrome,
You can predict earthquakes by abnormal heat or cold patterns in temp of earth i have
Funny cause used to watch Dutchsense who well, kinda sort of did predict where and when and what magnitude roughly if i remember.. not always, but some times... and sometimes is better than nothing and I always think, better be prepared than not..
The Earth is only about 6000 years old... And nothing on Earth is older than that...
Factssss
You missed a few zeros in your belief but I'll respect your opinion since you obviously didn't take your medications.
@@ussstropicana
Your comment is necessary and should be deleted. 😔
what kind of fault is the San Andrae's
It's a strike-slip fault, which means the motion is side to side. The side of California towards the ocean is moving north relative to the side on the other side of the fault.
OK thanks for letting me know
The San Andreas Fault caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake which was very destructive! I watched a program about it a few days ago on this machine of mine! It is amazing what is on it for me to learn about! You gotta love the inventors who gave it to us! @@whoever6458
At least the alive peeple had a good breakfast when ther was a pancake collapse. My pop pop said ther was'not enuf serup for all the everone so they were useing cooking ole with suger. Gross
And what to think about the hundreds and hundreds of atomic bombs that exploded underground? Where did all these tremors go underground ?????

Respectfully, I tried again to listen and find out where this tragedy happened, but no idea due to translation. I love the channel info, but unable to understand host. Please add captions. I will unsuscribe unfortunatelym
So much lies in one video.
Prayers for all thewhite people.
prayers and other magic spells never helped anyone.
IF YOU DON'T CALLED THIS TRIBULATION, THEN LET ME KNOW THE NAME OF IT....
Wait til you find out what the cl intons did in haiti
robbed all those 'donations'
@Sean Raschiatore did a lot more than that Sean. Laura Silsby worked for her also.
Look her name up

@dutrchsinse - When the guy said they cant predict earthquakes 😊😂
we can't predict quakes. can you? give a warn then when any comes to.
