Photo of Cars and Buildings Crumbled After Tsunami in Samoa

Pacific Island states of Samoa and the American Samoa were just hit by a devastating tsunami just hours ago. Massive earthquake of magnitude 8.0 that formed in the ocean near Samoa islands resulted in a giant tsunami wave that has killed at least 25 people and wiped out several coastal villages.

While there were 25 confirmed death so far after Samoa’s tsunami, the number is expected to rise as there are still many unaccounted for. US president Barack Obama has declared America Samoa a major disaster zone and dedicated a federal relief fund dedicated at helping affected areas.

The seismologists anticipate more seismic activity in the area which could result in more tsunami in and around Samoa islands. The gallery below has more pictures of the devastating tsunami in Samoa.

 

Judge Judy Earthquake Video

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Judge Judy was at another of her show off sessions when an earthquake of 5.4 magnitude hit Southern California where the program was filmed and shook entire building and everyone in it. Above is the original video with raw sound and it’s pretty hilarious. The earthquake shakes everything, the camera operators must have been confused, like – what do I do now, run for my life or turn the image stabilizer on? Judge Judy herself seemed unbothered by shaking ground from the beginning and kept talking, but you know she actually peed on the chair. Luckily, the cameras can’t see behind her desk. She bailed out of the courtroom in no time once it came to her that it’s actually an earthquake that’s shaking the building and in a slit second she was no where to be found.

The facial expression of a guy that was being interviewed is priceless once he realizes that it’s an earthquake. He looks completely clueless. He should have just run after Judge Judy and offer her a paper towek for the crotch. That would have won him the case.

 

Earthquake in Sichuan, China – Security Camera Video

Friday, May 16th, 2008

This is a pretty intense video of an earthquake in Sichuan, China captured by a security camera. There is no sound, which only adds to mysticism and scare factor of the disaster. You kind of never know if and when the building is going to collapse. But if you look at the video again, you will notice that the quake was going on for a minute and 20 seconds. That’s one long earthquake. Most don’t take that long. And it wasn’t weak either – 7.8 on Richter magnitude scale and seemed to have gotten stronger towards the end. Imagine the shit feeling if you’re one of outside window cleaners on top of a skyscraper or a surgeon in the middle of operation…

As you know, Chinese province Sichuan suffered from a massive earthquake, Chinese biggest earthquake in 30 years. Final death toll is not yet known, but it is expected to be as high as 50 000 people. United nations predict there could be as many as 100 000 dead.

It is funny to watch how some people react when something serious happens, something that they did not expect – such as an earthquake. Some people ran for their lives while the other lady made sure she picked up her keys first. Everybody left poor fishes in the bowl, though. They must have gone through shit loads of stress. They could probably feel that the Earthquake is coming through their wicked animal instincts. That is of course unless their owners feed them junk food, which dumbs everyone down.
