Quake!!! Japan 3-11-11 Earthquake from 30th floor in Shinjuku (Tokyo 11.3.11 )

[FutotteruNinja]

Yay for upgraded room!! :)



[wehillusa]

So were you that ugly before the quake?

[RickStylus]

I was in Japan 11-3-11, it look not that bad for someone on 30F... are you sure this footage belongs to that day?

[cmekill64]

i almost shat a whole brick when you said you were in the 30th floor

[caitlinfaheyzxo]

woah freaky than Christchurch quake 7.1 awaking

[cj1234567]

do you still live there?

[wevetra13]

I know this has been almost a year ago, and I still have the utmost respect for the Japanese people and the way they handled this. Peace.

[peaceonearth347]

i wouldve been like "OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK" while running down the stairs



[NinjaPl33z]

@peaceonearth347 i would'a been alongside you shitting myself

[EATBALLS87]

@peaceonearth347 I would of been runnin right behind you brother!!! lol. holy sh!t

[Dimanta]

I was in earthquake in Christchurch in Feb 2011. I wonder how come you are so brave and werent you told to leave the building...?

[theinternetiscool1]

thats really smart to stand near a window on the 30th floor durring one of the strongest earth quakes in history :p

[v0derm0rt]

you not fear?

[GlamorousGlitters01]

I would shit my pants.

[billkaulitzmymaster]

Holy crap, I looked at the window at 1:15, and it was scary as hell. I have never experienced a earthquake, but I can imagine that it was scary.

[devilcruiser]

shinjuku incident? :D

[GabbiThaRaveFairy]

This happened on my bday =\

[Gokaiger203heroes]

WAA JAPAN, TOKYO

[regeky]

Those Building is a Spring type building. they only dance in quakes.

[Stuigentyr]

e.e; I feel for you dude, just being on the 8th floor in that 9.0 back in march was more than enough for me. I'd hate to be any higher than that e.e;

[MrMoviton]

that earthquake was made in China

[eggroll9000]

And to imagine he didn't even have an idea about the tsunami at that time... damn

[7TonyVilla]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooaw hahaha i love his expression

[sakurachick123]

ahhhhh scary lady talking on speaking what she saying!!!!! OAO

[vistared]

this man is chuck norris?

[87divinesage]

that must have been really close to the square enix headquarters



[NAnunbaB090]

can i ask which part of shinjuku were you in when it happened?

[sonarrules]

@NAnunbaB090 It was the Hilton Shinjuku. The view is towards Shinjuku station.

[lordblazer]

@NAnunbaB090

he looked towards the Eki soo I would say near there. I always have to crash at a friend's place. I could never afford to stay in a hotel like that in Tokyo.

[skinsfantim]

man you just rode that puppy out! me i would have opened a window and jump to safety!

[yeeyoh]

2:10 what a heavy looking city !!

[yeeyoh]

I would be freaking out !!! probably but ya never know...

[mupp3tbab3h]

yo i would shit a brick

[lullemans72]

nice apartment. but is there no glass that makes up the window or did i just not see it?

[annuitcoeptis2008]

God, you are ugly!!!

[studioskim3]

damn, japanese buildings must be pretty well made if they can still stand after the multiple shakes it has been having the past few years...

[GerrettJihad]

LOL its funny how the Japanese are like dealing with quakes, its almost a monthly occurance for them, I am not much safer on Vancouver Island westcoast Canada. big one gona hit soon.

[mein2d]

1:15 holy shit.

[Jenn0uLa]

There isn't a single one of these tall and modern building in my country,indeed,Athens is 100 years behind.

[lefterisdim]

@Jenn0uLa

Exeis Par8enwna pou erxontai an8rwpoi apo tin akri tou kosmou na ton doun kai sou leipoun oi ouranoksystes...?

[Jenn0uLa]

@lefterisdim Ξέρεις κάτι ναι... καλός ο παρθενώνας και όλα αυτά που κάναμε κάποτε αλλά πρέπει να σταματήσουμε να τα χρησιμοποιούμε ως δικαιολογίες για τα σημερινά μας χαλιά και να προσφέρουμε κάτι στον σύγχρονο κόσμο και να συμβαδίζουμε με την εποχή που βρισκόμαστε όπως κάνει και η Ιαπωνία.

[ttorimoto]

Tokyo Hilton?

[HiMrVespertine]

I was with my friends when the earthquake happened. Right when that fucker hit, we hauled ass down the street.

[Basynovsky]

Amazing buildings they have, also nice job recording this!

[987bmx987]

Hilton Hotel :) I was on the 29th floor.

[Ph0be]

Thats a nice apartment/hotel, what do you do for a living?

[valjoedg]

"Remain in your room!" Hell no I'm out of here!

[videobudgetfailing]

Very nice apartment you have.

[miles19621]

I don't think he wasn't saying it was a near death situation, but of course it feels threatening because it's an earthquake! If you've ever been in one you never know how bad it's going to get. Being high in a tall (properly engineered) building means that it's going to sway. Those modern buildings in places like Shinjuku (where this building is located) can take quite a bit of shock, but being inside a tall swaying building doesn't feel particularly safe.

[Aboxinhamster]

damn 1:17 look at that building swaying omg i would probably pass out

[atoxmorrison]

STUPID, DICK HEAD

[davasujul]

You were very anxious person, and I guess. Although the Japanese are accustomed to earthquakes, this earthquake is very, was fear. Anyway, good for you without injuries.

[suction]

@davasujul Huh?

[BryanPrice250]

Uploaded on the 10th. Conspiricy.

[iRsConnor]

@BryanPrice250 different time zones.

[heybroskiiiiman]

@BryanPrice250 Timezones dumbass. Japan is ahead of the US by one day.

[BiGGraff100]

dude f that I woulda bulldozed those japs right the fck over to get out...f you I aint staying in here....got some balls man.

[supermario373ipe]

If I was in that video I would scream my head off!

[pwneador]

NOT FUN

[baniyas2011]

@pwneador this is funny

[pwneador]

@baniyas2011 I know, it was a what the guy in this video said "NOT FUN"  it was funny as hell

[xoxoScratTheCat]

If I were you and the people didn't let me out.... I would fucking jump out of the window. Scary stuff right there.

[suicideking302]

lol "not fun" is the only way to put it

[Cozybop]

I like how you're room has those Japanese shades on the window and yet you're like 30 stories high and the building is rocking back and forth like a boat is just simply incredible. Those Japanese sure know design and function.

[MrAlek888]

balls!

[MsPopprincess1000]

OMG they wouldnt let u go outside?!?! if that building were to come down, they would be to blame for all the deaths!

[Ginandpop2]

Thats that same American voice from the office bulding! Why is it like that?

[asto1267]

damn , the strongest one i lived was a 7.2 , fortunately not many people died, it was an amazing experience.

[CarreyTrash]

It would be scary if in 2.2.2020 Mount Everest blows.. Haha! xD Not funny actually..

[1tim64]

@CarreyTrash Oh god

[kannjes]

moments that you adore civil enginners

[TheHomestuck]

@leggettnada1 This is an aftershock, DUH fucking idiot, durrrr durrr durrr.

[CirnoLikesMath]

@leggettnada1 you rather be in an elevator? I don't think so..

[chaibyron]

It really is amazing how much of downtown Tokyo survived that like it did. That is some incredible engineering for those buildings to come out relatively unharmed like that.

[olegario39]

you could hear the metal creaking! :-O

[Midnightryder7]

Nice view

[rysnyper50002]

1:15

id shit a house if i was in your position

[MrPendejo1321]

somebody needs to tell Chuck Norris to stop doing jumping jacks

[NinjaPl33z]

and i near pissed myself when we had a 5.0 in virginia, but by the time it got to us it was a 3. damn

[suction]

Inside your apartment, nothing shakes or falls at all, to be honest, apart from the slow rocking (like on a boat), it does not come across as a threatening situation. I am not trying to say you are overreacting, because you seem pretty calm, yet you say "this is the 29th floor, so not funny". Were you afraid the building might come down? And did you think about running down the stairs, even if you're on the 29th floor? Would you care to describe if you felt a near-death situation, or similar?

[sonarrules]

@suction This was one of the aftershocks. During the quake it was so violent I could not stand up. The staff would not let me go downstairs or outside.

[jojo270003]

@sonarrules the staff would not let you go outside??? fuck that.

[supertamal2099]

@jojo270003 its dangerous outside, debris can fall, specially glass.

and trust me.. glass can decapitate or go trough a person's melon easily if falling from a high floor.

[jojo270003]

@supertamal2099 I would rather be on the streets with a chance of running away... not in the building. that's just my opinion though. x_x

[suction]

@sonarrules Did you think, or had any indication (noises, etc.) that the building was about to come down? If so, how did you manage to *not* run downstairs as I would any human would react to a life-threatening situation (i.e. it is built into us to run from danger). I'm interested because I haven't been exposed such a big earthquake yet, but the possibility exists, so I am trying to get a feel for the situation of a "first-timer".

[erwanfirealarm1998]

@sonarrules Il faudrait évacuer, monsieur!

[MegaNickyRose]

@suction Like he said the aftershocks are less violent. I've seen videos of the first quake that occured and the woman was sitting on the ground because she couldn't stand, her things were falling off shelves and tables. So it does actually get pretty bad. But these buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, that's why they sway. And besides it's safer inside than out. Walls collapse outwardly and they say it's safer to huddle own somewhere within the building than run out.

[suction]

@MegaNickyRose Ah, thank you for the clarification. You're awesome. I think if you are outside with nothing over your head (like in a big square, or very wide road, or park), it the best situation. But when a big one hits here, I will be praying the engineers planning my building did their job right.

[BiGGraff100]

@MegaNickyRose 30th floor though?

[brilliantgenius1]

@suction Skyscrapers are built on springs to absorb the shock of an earthquake, therefore, the person is safer in their apartment, even though the shaking is more severe.

[NAnunbaB090]

@suction The guy is lucky that he was living in Tokyo mainly becasue under Tokyo is this huge pipeline that was built to act as a barrier from earthquakes. so pretty much the pipes caused the 9.5 earthquake to be reduced to a 2.5 earthquake causing less damage to the city and leaving the taller building un touched

[suction]

@NAnunbaB090 You're mad. Nothing what you describes exists. The quake was a 5+ Shindo in Tokyo. Now go and die.

[akrause2004]

Look out the window @ 1:14. That's prob the best gauge of how much the buildings are moving. Insane how pewney we are compared to mother nature.

[acoy19811]

This is great video, I would have freak out. all the people making dumb ass comments so the hell up. this man put this video cause he survived the quake, dumb shits!!! Get your facts straight, people died from the tsumani not the inland quake you jack asses

[akrause2004]

Nice HD video from a phone, and beautiful hotel room too. Fuck you @ poodtang,..because you wou

[poodtang1]

Looks like the buildings are vibrating.

[tedtug]

@poodtang1 no shit really? during a 9.0 quake? excellent observation Dr. Obvious.

[poodtang1]

@tedtug

Oh isn't that nice I didn't realise that the Zoo's training monkeys to use computers actually worked.

You go monkey...you go.

[tedtug]

@poodtang1 such a rich comment coming from a retarded asshole from Canaduh who's posting the obvious.

[MrOceanPenguin]

As crazy and frightening the nature in Japan is, I'm still jealous of the people who get to go there. The country must be an amazing place to visit!

I'd definitely visit Japan if I didn't have to stay in an airplane for so many hours.

[mike311271]

hi i live in the uk, we do have earthquakes, but nothing on that scale, once i was living in a block of old flats built in the 60's, i was on the 8th floor, and we had a earthquake, it scared the hell out of me, you got to hand it to the japs , they put up with 'em all the time, and you must have some balls filming it lol. coz i be down the stairs and out the building lol

[ashleyf69er]

stuff being up in a high bilding being in the new zeland christchurch earthquake was sceary

[MrKidzVEVO]

wow you can still video it. aahahaha

[valjoedg]

Did I hear the hotel announcement to "stay in your room". I'd be like (pardon my language) "Fuck this I'm getting the hell out of Dodge!"

[JaredNC86]

Jeeeeze you can really see it at 0:49 through the window.

[maimoimei]

ご無事でなりよりです。

災害時はNHKを見て下さい。迅速に情報を発信しています。

ただし、日本語ですがなにか情報は得られると思います。

[burnstagger]

Hold.camera.still

[Tarek701]

@burnstagger

Hes nervous, everyone is after a dangerous day like this.

[Tarek701]

@burnstagger

Or it is just because of the earthquake. I think you never feeled it, you can't control anything. I myself have feeled some earthquakes and was right going down on the step's and falled. Ouch!

[kendract88]

@Tarek701 That would be "felt"...not "feeled". No offense please.

[bomtown]

I know he's in shock but maybe if the camera was sitting still you coud see the movment

[unterredetu]

nice building

[Siennat21]

Nice place

[luckyhouston91]

you would first have to understand the significance of masonic symbolism in numbers and the importance of things happening on certain dates. you would also have to understand who these people are (illuminati) and what there goals are.

311 is one of the significant.

3-11 or 3/11 or 11/11/11

3/11/11 massive earthquake and tsunami hit japan(man made or not depending on what you believe)

11/11/11 ?? dont know yet

[sertox12345]

thank god for good usa steel ha

[amarie1love]

that little window at 1:15 is definitely queeeeaasssy.

[miguel182ify]

YAY NO SCHOOL WOOO IM IN TOKYO AND IS NOW SCHOOL COOL

[Sebastian14396]

yo vivi uno en chile de 8,8 grados

soy de talcahuano

[Sebastian14396]

yo vivi uno en chile de 8,8 grados



[MrKokookocha]

no chance to survive, jump down! :D

[MJkate]

damn dude......you couldnt tell untill we saw your door swinging back and forth. wow

[danschaoticmind]

Know how you feel; Sonarrules. I live in the Aomori prefecture and even without being on an upper floor it was intense for us.

[truly0phinoy]

good thing Japan builds their skyscrapers to resist earthquakes...

[MrVidManiacMilo]

It would have been soo much fun being on the top of one of those buildings

[alanrobert1987]

@MrVidManiacMilo Yeah sure, soooooo much fun.

[sorcerykid]

Japanese is such a beautiful language, even in an emergency its soothing listening to the lady on the intercom :)

[redlackawanna]

i would SHIT MY PANTS!

[Dexie78]

God bless the Japanese.  Their modern high rises are built to LAST! They build for life.

[bulllsheetysheet]

Japan is really serious about safety. Amazing.

[udical]

@bulllsheetysheet of course that way they let their capitalists to build nuclear plants on coast without any protection from quakes

[sonarrules]

The local time in Japan was 13 hours ahead of the US east coast. That's why it says uploaded the tenth. I did not change the time on my computer.

[ghostedfrequency]

one question - how come you uploaded this video on march 10 2011 when the earthquake was march 11? just wondering - me being stupid probably.

[MrTahiro]

Respect!

[mastifiorulamitongla]

yeah dude you have my complete sympathy. earthquakes are one of the least fun things i can think of.

[gengoro1]

earthquake proof base isolation buildings

[nandutzu]

The view is great, but one of the things to do if you are indoor during an earthquake is to stay away from the windows and exterior walls.

[zeke64333]

Awesome toilet you got there

[dynastoned]

9.0 earthquakes don't take down huge skyscrapers in japan but fire does on 9/11. rofl

[malcomino]

@dynastoned fire not but explosive yes

[demsarepostal]

@dynastoned Sick bastard 3000 people died. NOT FUNNY. Take your ROFL AND STICK IT UP YOUR @SS.

[lilsokzmuzic]

@dynastoned get your facts right. The magnitude of the earthquake that struck Tokyo was less severe then the one that hit the northern part of Japan, Miyagi. If all these skyscrapers where located in Miyagi, a lot of them would have went down.

[TheBlard87]

@lilsokzmuzic I believe I've read that skyscrapers in Tokyo were built to withstand earthquakes of a magnitude of up to 9.0, but yes Tokyo did not receive as much shock as the northern areas.

[JehovahSaveUs]

@lilsokzmuzic .. Very true. Though are standards are not as tough as Japan, many of our modern high rises are built to withstand a magnitude 8.0. But only 15 seconds of intense shaking. The San Andreas is expected to release a 7.9-8.3. No where near Japan but expected to last up to 3 minutes of intense shaking for the basin because of the topography of LA. Our buildings old and new are coming done. may God be with us on that day!!

[craneraaudiovideo]

@dynastoned thats becuse 911 was a set up

[fanofzimmertwins]

@dynastoned STFU

[telewestzurich]

Very impressing!

[TheLegend2B]

dang dude cool vid

[bestiaccia]

Thanks for filming!!!

[carrma25]

amazing earthquake codes, that building held up to a 9.0 earthquake!

[EP1997]

@carrma25

well, you know that the earthquake striked Tokyo in a lower strenght, right?

[twunturbo354]

If i were there.......... Jiz in my pants!

[pootubeftw]

@twunturbo354

so you get sexuall aroused by earthquakes to the point of an orgasm? you're a very strange person

[kellykoolaidninja]

oh my god, can you imagine just standing there in the building?? it probably felt like your on a freaking boat! i would be in the corner crying and wishing the building to stop moving..

[rodeo2009]

wow amazing footage !! brilliant stuff

[0409362016]

wow and so many people died your very lucky to get out of japan

[Kwasi5179]

At least you got it on film ;)

[GanEdenAustralia]

Put the camera on a surface

[diplomaticSK]

The earthquake seems not to have stopped the traffic though ;-) BTW, not a good idea to be near the window during a 9.0 earthquake...

[godslittlehelpa]

thanks for filming this - all the best from New Zealand. We know what its like.

[dhavalstr]

Very Scary, Dangerous , Risky.....!! But I will salute to all the Japanese people for making their earthquake proof buildings.even rector scale on 9 they are safe. But I would suggest you to be safe. Great Job Man...!

[falconbassdrum27]

damn man. i'd be shitting my pants.

[ApocalypticRedIX]

good to see an amateur video NOT fucking mainstream with commentaries, hope you guy stocked up food, water, batteries etc

[ConnorTARD]

cloverfield?

[katakanakaz]

wow which hotel was that in Shinjuku?

[sonarrules]

@katakanakaz Hilton Hotel.

[ApocalypticRedIX]

@sonarrules how r u gonna get back to the US

[sonarrules]

@ApocalypticRedIX I am actually home now. I was lucky and got out on Monday.
