Earthquake in Sichuan, China – Security Camera Video
May 16th, 2008This 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.
