Dramatic footage as Miyagi TV (MMT) newsroom is violently shaken by the 7.4 magnitude aftershock, shelves fall, staff react - power cuts off for about 20 seconds, comes back on to reveal extensive damage to office. Japan was rattled by a magnitude-7.4 aftershock on Thursday night nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast. The strongest aftershock since the day of the magnitude-9.0 megaquake was a fresh blow to victims of that March 11 quake and subsequent tsunami that killed some 25,000 people, tore apart hundreds of thousands of homes and has sparked an ongoing crisis at a nuclear power plant. Damage and injuries from the aftershock were not immediately clear.

  • That is an originally messy room without the power of the earthquake.

  • Wow a 7.4 earthquake happens but the building are still intact. If this will happen in my place our buildings here will probably collapse and killed many people.

  • @MegaHHHHIIII The computers probably had UPS systems, anyone that works on a corporate office knows that. :P

    UPS means Uninterruptible Power Supply and it's basically a battery for the computer so that if the power goes out, you have about 20-30 minutes of time to save your stuff before shutting the PC down.

  • @MegaHHHHIIII it's a laptop you stupid fucking imbecile.

  • wow i beleive the earth quake but if the power went off wouldnt the computer at 0:18 o off too
