Strongest Earthquake in Decades in Britain

[kiwigeofreak]

My home town - Christchurch, New Zealand - had a magnitude 5.3 aftershock on Saturday, NZ time at 1749hrs. Power outages, liquefaction and further damage to buildings.

Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake on 4 September 2010 at 0435hrs, and while it caused extensive damage, no lives were lost and only couple of people were injured. On 22 February 2011 at 1251hrs a magnitude 6.3 aftershock struck causing heavy damage, substantial liquefaction and 180 deaths. Take care.

I love how americans describe everything as " North of london" there are 1,000's of place names in England than just " London".

[WABBITS8]

@pbrew85 The Yanks think Britain consists of London and that's it! They're so dumb!

[Kaynas1988]

North Of London, the city does have a name

[TehAntt]

I was in Birmingham, and man we felt it.

[LAZADALEDGEND]

'Shitzu' aka his mum.

[1234Billywilly]

strongest earthquake in decades.. its the only earthquake in decades right :L lol

[TehAntt]

@1234Billywilly Nope, we get them quite alot but there only about 3.3 and or 2.9

[WABBITS8]

Why do Yanks think England consists of London and nowhere else. It's always, "North of London" this-that-and other. Thickos.

[covladuk1985]

@WABBITS8 i knowisses me off.

[liukin95]

We are a country who are not used to these kind of disasters we are not suppost to have hurricanes and earthquakes but we had both of those in the past and strangly they both happened at night

[rolacola34]

[Kaynas1988]

i felt it  in Birmingham, i was awake, when my bed moved and it freaked me out

[TehAntt]

@Kaynas1988 Yeah same, my next door nieghbours ran and knocked on our doors.

[Kaynas1988]

@TehAntt I didn't even know what it was until I turned the news on

[TehAntt]

[Kaynas1988]

[mohgdeisat]

I guess I felt it in Liverpool, it was about this time lol

[MsBabes1975]

I remember this, part of my bedroom wall fell down, that's private accomadation for you.

[kingkelsall2008]

i was ontop of my ex girlfriend wen this happend. we wasnt sure wat the first tremble was then we stopped still in shock because we thought the dog was underneath the bed i checked nothin was there then it happend again. weather is changing very fast and we need to do something about it. why is it called globel warming when each year snow fall becomes earlyer ? well it doeas in manchester u.k anyway so......

[mickeyflynn1954]

Just clocked this vid but it brings back memories when I was sitting at the computer and felt it rumble towards me from behind, it felt like it was coming from horizon to horizon under my chair and it rumbled off into the distance - I live near Woodbridge, Suffolk - no damage to the cottage, my TV monitor shook a little but 4 sure it was a moving experience I will never forget.

[funnylittlegirl12345]

i remerber that but my mum and sis were woke up my sis thourght it was a ghost

[frankiebones01]

We have had four of them in the past year in California.  A 5.3 shakes a little but to say your ex came three times in five seconds would be difficult when your thing measures out to be 5.3 mate......

[antonimbret]

I was having sex with my ex when this happened and now she wants me all the time cause she came like 3 times in 5 seconds

[daddino93]

lol

[antonimbret]

ah who thumbed me down it was a joke mate

[EASYTIGER10]

0:46 - I don't think he's the only one who had a little shitzu at that particular moment

[liamjanin]

People dont know how to predict them yet

[BOYKOILIEV2008]

Your earthquakes in the future are here.

See more than 800 forecasts.

The plate tectonic NOT makes the earthquakes.

[noordwinter]

HAARP?

[kellyshigh]

haarp

[Aerjas12]

This woke me up, I was only half asleep so I thought it was the end of the world. :|

[Rawrbecca1992]

"This mans dog woke him up" WTF!? XD short on interviewies I'm guessing

[KhadijahBilal]

see some people make so much fuss over nothing yh im from uk i didnt feel a thing we should think about people in japan and pakistan they have the real things

[KaD9339]

Maybe you it didn't affect where you are. The main area it affected sure felt it so stfu

[jakeyboy69]

felt all the way up north here in middlesbrough..

[ShivSilverhawk]

hmm, back than i was sitting in the canteen doing my nightshift in a bakery, felt the ground shaken, thaught WTF? ... And returned to reading newspaper. No big deal:)

[gnarmis]

u know the funniest people in the world? Pre 2000, they were the paranoid y2kers. Now, its the 2012-ers...

Fuckin idiots...

[alexjamesarsenal]

:O i have a little shitzue :) xD

[LeicesterBadBoyJamie]

i didnt even feel it

[tmidir]

load of fuss about nothing

[Ven0m1985]

People are stupid true the earth is changing but doesnt mean the end or the end of the human race. And planet x wtf is that.

[CanadianVandal]

planet x is causing quakes, you will see more

[Cantwetalk]

the ap is run by skull & bones.

[Xakryn]

How about standing around waiting for the end, you try to start something new. That way, you etheir help make the world a better place, and truly end the things that make you feel so bitter about life in the first place. The world may end in 2012, it may end in 20012, every end is a new beggining.

[NerosLogic]

idiotic 2012 assholes

do something productive like find out why the world is so messed up,

and why if it is ending are so many people obsessed with complete domintation of the earth?

cuz leaders want idiots like you to throw up your hands in surrender saying "o well, it doesnt matter that my government has raped me of all my rights, the world is ending"

[kingson5757]

is not endin, its changin, get ur facts right.

[WDWHolidays]

ohhh noooo, the christians here in the US are screaming again, end of world BS....ugh..do you guys have the same nuts as we do?

[DeadlyChinchilla]

Lol, don't you love how predictable the nuts are?

Strange how these are the same nuts that want political power over everyone (US). These are people who don't believe there is a future at all... Christ is coming soon! But they want the power over everyones future. Does nobody find that a bit twisted?

But yeah, hope everyone is okay after the trembler.

[jbarry1991]

twatting earthquake

1AM that bastard woke me up at!

was rather fun though

[W33dH4ck3r]

Only 1 person was injured, the owner of the house with the collapsed chimney broke his pelvis.

[projectdurden]

So many stones and rocks in Britain. I think if a quake hits anywhere, Britain is a huge accident waiting to happen because of all the stones and rocks everywhere. They love things made with stones and pepples and stuff. They don't use wood much. Just stones and rocks mostly.

[Rawrbecca1992]

stones and rocks? 0.o? ...yeah

[mrsamshin]

there will be a greater earthquake in LA in 2010

(i think...)

[jimmyphack]

Once every 30 years so calm down.

[Grapejuice22]

Oh it sounds very terrifying, non of us expected an Earthquake to hit the UK, It's something that happens in Japan!

Being a religous person I think this is a sign that Judgement day is near.

EarthQuakes are increasing, the war in Iraq and Palastine...

We need to pray more and God will protect us Ameen.

Hope your all safe and well bless u all.

[coasterrider10]

I really dont like to believe that were all going to die one day all of a sudden.

[perrrfection]

2012 u r right

[ManufacturedThoughts]

Planet X is getting closer.

[perrrfection]

Yes, indeed it is!

[thisisMattyM]

yer thanks for the blessing and all but i think id rarther tell god to stick his forgivness up his ass.

in stead of looking at all the simple explanations i.e god causes war, earthquakes, tornadoes and everything else. the are more structured reasons behind these things. so stop living in the past and ask mayble look up what really causes these things. i can assure you that you'll die before your predicted 'judgement day' arrives.

[weijskate]

lol 'he jumped onto my face the little shit, sue'.

[Brookbadger]

i didnt wake up... :(

[christlovescrisps]

That man had a dog on his face

A daily occurence I'd guess - the dirty pervert. Imagine licking a dog's arse every night.

[Brookbadger]

lol

[TurboLoveTrain]

Excellent. The machine is fully online.

[insanepeng]

[BADBRAD2KK7]

[K1S10]

My weights were on my table at the time. I heard a loud bang which woke me. I woke up to find my weights all over the place, and my whole house shaking

[XLilBabyBexX]

i only woke up beacause a book from the shelf above my bed fell on my head n it bloody hurt. Luckily i got cushions at the end of my bed otherwise my huge mirror would have smashed!

[Brookbadger]

SAME AS MY FRIEND!

[graphicslab]

I woke up and wondered why I had the shakes so bad.. then I realised the rest of the room was shaking too!!

[graphicslab]

I woke up and wondered why I had the shakes really bad. Then I realised the rest of the room was shaking too!!

[Juggernaught01]

[321ashley321]

[motherbees]

[natthingup]

This is as good as it gets with British natural disasters. Loved the bloke with his little shitzu. Bobbins!

[GrailcodeDotNet]

'Signs of the times,' as Christ coined it.

[ndkblackhawk]

ooh no, that is bad (the earthquake i mean)

[yosimitysamhain]

well bobs your uncle

[allannoble2010]

I don't think much of the quip at the start of the piece about the person who had the roof fall in on them. It even looks like they've edited in some running blood for effect.

[poogemister]

Interesting happening. I guess they don't get those often.
