Holy shit!

Oh god that's hard to watch, they were totally unprepared, you can hear a kid screaming

From another perspective, you can see cars still driving past the collapsing building. I hope everyone managed to get out of the way.

Holy shit... I hope everyone was out of there.

Mad props to the camera operator.

Because they noticed it was about to collapse? I’ve never seen it but my guess is that it’s pretty obvious when an apartment building begins to wobble.

Concrete dust. Don’t breathe this.

Nah nothing ever happens, it was a conspiracy

I am sure that most of the cement was stolen during the construction of this building.

Hope everyone is ok. That's nuts.

They are shouting warnings in the video. I don’t know what your problem is with this, but let’s just say that people react in different ways when dealing with actual life or death-situations. They probably should have been running but then again there may be people in danger that they could potentially help.

But, you can’t really run from an earthquake so the best thing might actually be to keep an eye on tall buildings around you. I don’t know.

Only iron in that building was in the forks

>just seems like really odd behaviour.

How noble you must be to sit there in comfort and judge people in the middle of hell right now. If they want to film a fucking building falling during an aftershock, I'm not one to call it odd.

Yes, that too. But I think that with such a quality of the mixture, even properly knitted reinforcement would not have saved the building.

You love sement u piece of shit

No, you are.

I'll breath it if I want bruh

Rebar inadequate, contractor pocketed the difference. Same as in the Izmit quake.

The whole thing literally crumbled. You may be right. It's also not a good sign that our language doesn't have a word for rebar. We just call it iron.

Running to where? There’s likely falling or collapsing buildings all around you, it’s an earthquake

It’s a reference to old Blendtec Blenders videos, which were a source of humor circa like 2007.

It was a joke.

One thing's for sure. You don't mess with Sweden!

That one car who floored it and got out is super lucky

they’re all circling and recording an empty building. they obviously knew it was gonna happen

I can't help but think about the people that could have been in there. Also, even if all were out, they just lost their whole life. It's really horrible.

> even if all were out, they just lost their whole life.

This is what got me. A couple of months ago, there was a flood on my apartment’s floor. We only got about 2-3 inches of water that came in and made our living room float. I felt so overwhelmed by having to move everything upstairs and knowing that my storage closet was full of water too and not know what was slightly damaged or not.

I can’t even imagine a situation like this where you literally watch your house crumble. Now it’s not even “what was damaged?” But rather “what survived and can I even ever get it back?”

Guessing from the people recording from multiple angles, they were kinda expecting it to go at any moment meaning it was long evacuated (I hope).

It's a few people near who happened to be recording. They were not expecting a building to collapse in on itself or the would have been much further back https://twitter.com/nafisehkBBC/status/1622503557415985156

Yea! You can’t tell this guy what to do! Let him get silicosis. Fuck you and your helpful tips!!

During the earthquake in DC in 2011, we walked out of our office building to the opposite sidewalk—as the workers from the building across the street passed us heading to the sidewalk on our side. We all just looked at each other like Oh… There is no place to go. And that was nothing compared to this quake and its aftershocks.

That’s kind of hilarious looking back at but yeah there’s no were to really go in a situation like this even for days after

Jeez. If someone like my uncle Don lived there , there's at least one victim. Once he got swept away by a small avalanche. A planned avalanche. The highway dept brought down a big cornice in Officers Gulch. Uncle Don thought he could drive past the traffic barrier and get by before the avalanche got to I 70. So I'm sure he would have ignored any warning or cracks and pops coming from the building.

Uncle Don sounds like the type of guy that calls 911 and asks whats their emergency.

It was a joke, perhaps too grim at this moment, but it’s also true. Tons of people died from respiratory illnesses and cancer after being at 9/11 ground zero.

Can we mail this man some instacrete and have him huff it on camera?

I couldn't see anyone in the windows but... I have a sickening feeling that the people on the street were maybe yelling to people in there to leave.

I don't know their language, and I can't tell. Obviously hope to all goodness that I am wrong.

English is not my native language, I am from Ukraine. Previous messages was translated using Google translate, so some word was translated not very correct as I see now. And we have word, it's called арматура

Sooo, what do you do?

I hope turkey reconsiders its human aid blockade to Syria, which was hit very bad by the earthquake close to the border too.

When life gives you lemons, mesothelioma

Hold your breath and run lol

When people are in shock they generally aren’t the smartest of creatures. I know I’d want to be probably twice that distance personally but I would be definitely watching it to see what was happening.
