@GlobalAwareness2525 you shouldn't flee a building during an earthquake, the last thing that should fail is a structural frame. You're placing yourself at more risk by leaving because the building envelope (glass, brick, etc.) is not designed to withstand earthquakes as well as the main structure.... just an FYI
Because in an earthquake you don't know how big it will be and how long it will last. Think about this what is going to fall on you where you are? If you around high buildings get to the center of the street, glass is going to fall down next to buildings.. I grew up in CA, been in several large ones, scary and I'm not going to stay in a building or a stupid door frame. Seriously a door frame if you have to, but if that house is going down, seen any door frames still standing afterwards?
I was expecting the tsunami to come up the waterway when I clicked on the video, but good thing it didn't otherwise this guy probably wouldn't be alive!!
LOL, if your in a building during an earthquake your supposed to run outside but I don't think you are supposed to run underneath high voltage lines next to a stream of water. Bzzzzzzzzt
Oh yeah, I think your supposed to stand in a door way but if you have a small house it's better to get out of the house. When in a shopping mall they make all the people go down the stairs & outside but it really depends on what's outside, if plate glass windows are falling to the street that's not good. I think you just have to play it by ear & decide is it safer in a collapsing building or on the street as cars are speeding & dodging glass windows & bricks.
@manyouranidiot look at footage of the aftermath of massive earthquakes and see how many houses crush down then think about staying in your house if it happens.
@GHOSTFACE323 well i have been through 9000 of the buggers now, and running outside has killed many here in Christchurch, i usually dont even get up now, lol
I believe what the 167 idiots who disliked this clip came here to see was more news footage (but accompanied by shitty music over the video) showing dramatic waves crashing the shore & washing cars & buildings away. But the 70 people who actually liked this footage know that this is the actuality & eerie effect an earthquake has on the surrounding landscape. The riverbank & telegraph lines are the perfect example to highlight that the earth is in fact moving.
@Kenneth71973 I already have. Unlike you Kenneth, I haven't been stuck up my own hole. I actually took the time to read a few comments before reaching a conclusion.
@angels77100 Well, unlike you, I got on here to look at a few videos, not to find some comments to argue with to make myself feel important. What are you 12?
@Kenneth71973 Listen Kenneth. You're calling this guy stupid, yet you're on Youtube telling him to move away from the power lines when it happened months ago? Are you really expecting him to reply with 'Uhhh, yeah dude, I'm moving away now! Cheers Buddy, didn't consider that a potential threat. You saved my life little buddy, even though it was months ago I'm still standing here!' Get a grip for fuck's sake Kenneth!
Hello? Earth to dumb prick. Go find some other way to make yourself feel smart. Do you really think I though it was happening live?? Why don't you go stand under power lines during an Earthquake? Thin the heard a little for us all please.
PEOPLE I HAVE PROVEN THE MAYAN PYRAMID CALENDARS, THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA PASSAGES PROPHECIES & ELENIN'S TRIGGERING ECLIPSE ALIGNMENT ALL POINT TO THE SAME DAY OF A 9.0 EARTHQUAKE.

I DIDN'T START RESEARCHING THIS YESTERDAY. I BEGAN WRITING NEWS COLUMNS ABOUT THIS 20 YEARS AGO. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL&DON'T BE IN DENIAL. PEACE.

Have you ever seen a body of water moving from side to side ricknurr15= what do you want more - sensationalism? This video of the earth moving an entire canal is phenomenal.
Dude your and IDIOT! Thats defenatly one place you shoulden't be near! Underneath the power lines and near water. Thats a great way to get yourself electricuted or have a fucken powerline fall on you >.>
not to smart MOVING actually MOVING Under the power lines . Stupid dumb ass ,just so you can get a better view of the water moving ?? You kidding me ?
im scared. my parents told me about the mayans. they said their calendar predicts the end of world in 2012 .i mean thailand, christchurch, japan ... /watch?v=6DKN4aViZ6w
Hey, you leave this guy alone! If he wants to stand next to a canal under powerlines let him! What next?! Are you going to make fun of his suit of armor? Or the 7 foot teatherpole strapped to his back?! Stop being critical! ;) TeeHee!
@VelvetSparrow1 And this isn't the only video I've seen of someone standing beneath power lines! I realize that adrenaline is kicking in and you may not be thinking clearly but COME ON!
