- EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN AS IT STARTED!!!! I was traveling from Shirakawa to Tokyo via the JR system. While stopped at Utsunomiya station, I started to shoot video across the tracks hoping to catch an express train going through at full speed. Suddenly the train starts to shake - then thing I know I'm experiencing my first - and hopefully last - earthquake. While I am back home in the USA, my thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful people of Japan...
Tourist : “Hey bob,,this is crazy!!”
Japanese people : “First time?”
Look at the date dude. It's probably the 2011 earthquake that killed so many.
@@uwu_senpai it is
4th strongest earthquake ever recorded in the world.
i think if that kind of EQuake happens in my country, the death toll probably gonna be way much greater than in Japan, as we dont have any education about what to do in earthquake emergency
@@hastalavista7021 stay under a table. or go outside away from buildings or structures. that's earthquake education in SWEDEN. I have not experienced a major earthquake here. A few light ones rarely.
The structural integrity of that station tho is awesome. Minimal damage. Japan does it best.
They have to
Living just right on top of the pacific ring of fire force them to make a structure as strong as possible
@@alkfs137a When you think about, the constant episode of such a destructive force allows for an incredible amount of R&D and cause and effect analysis by their nation's structural engineers. The R&D is crucial to getting things as best as it could be.
*though
I wonder why
“Hey Bob? This is crazy.”
so generic
i fucking died, "Klazy , very klazy"
Japan for you
"Hey Bob? This is crazy" would be the last thing I'd say.
@Nichijou Bot lighten up fella! In that moment, when you are in the middle of a big earthquake, you are more than likely to scream a few expletives than be calm and rational.
Sees video in recommendation - "Oh hey look it's a video of a typical Japanese earthquake!"
Sees upload date - "Oh no..."
2011, what's wrong with that?
@@Randomness78 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
Same, mfaizsyahmi.
@@debiuu7859 aah, i remember now :(
@Hyde Deme it was a disaster on that year
probably one of the few handheld videos out there that started filming prior to the earthquake, some kind of luck.
Actually it was shaking from the start of the video. Just not as violently.
@@bruno84 he tried to shiot a train passing by at full speed still pretty lucky thi check description
Check out Valdez, Alaska, 1964. A crewman on the freight ship "Chena" was using a Bell & Howell camera to film children walking their dogs on the dock. The quake and tsunami hit so suddenly, even the dogs had no time to react.
It was shaking prior. One earthquake I experienced I felt slight shaking 60 seconds before it hit that seemed to stop before the main earthquake happened. I knew something was up.
@@candisham1978 that was the p wave, a faster type of earthquake wave that youd feel before the main shaking, its up and own shaking.
I've been in an earthquake like this. The worst thing is that you don't know when it's going to stop.
Jorge Toledo where?
Perú
Holy smoking toledo's
Junior Huacho Guisado how did you survive
JacobLZP I’m in California too 😭
The power of the earth never ceases to amaze. The Japanese are hyper prepared as they should be.
@Nichijou Bot They never expected a tsunami to hit the power plants.
@Nichijou Bot doesnt the powerplant already have a tsunami wall but the tsunami was taller than expected?
L. Faraday I think it’s because they’re used to earthquakes and tsunamis.
Cambs TV they sit on faulty line so prone to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes
That quake and tsunami was the worst japan has ever seen... they didnt expect that at all...
If an earthquake of this magnitude were to hit Amsterdam the whole city would be left in ruins. Most buildings in Japan are earthquake proof. However this quake still caused a lot of damage 😮
Mexico too. But since Mexico City is on the ancient seabed,the shake is more tremendous than in Japan. Nevermind, your country, like us, isn't on these dangerous zone; the ring of fire, what your country should care about is the rising of the sea level.
@@DonkeykongSw2 yup the earthquake didn't fuck em up, the tsunami did. If a tsunami hit some of those European countries itd be fucked
Europe is safe from earthquakes (except Italy, of course). The only problem with europe is its land are mostly lowlands and are prone to tsunami and rising sea levels. Just watch out those two.

Friendly reminder that this footage was taken 300 km away from the epicenter
Meme Master Thankfully the epicenter was deep in the ocean or not thankfully the earthquake in the ocean made a Tsunami and killed and destroyed so many lives. And heres the best: scientists found out that in around 30 years a bigger earthquake will hit japan.
@@poppypeppa0186 and which earthquake is that? The Nankai trough earthquake? Please tell me.
Leon RW here a Part of a theguardian article „Experts estimate the next one is due roughly a century on, with an estimated 70% chance of a magnitude-7 quake hitting Tokyo before 2050. It is no longer a question of if but when the big one will come. The impact would be devastating.“.

@@poppypeppa0186 Oh, I know of that earthquake! Here in Japan, we call it "首都直下地震." For this earthquake, there's 7 possible scenarions, and there's two "worst case scenarios," where the earthquake happens right under tokyo and a large area of the tokyo bay area will experience (Japanese) seismic intensity 7 quakes. But hey, that's only one! What fun would it be to be living life with only one earthquake threat! There's also the Nankai Trough earthquake (南海トラフ地震), and it happens in cycles of 100-150 years. However, there have been reports of the cycle being quicker than 100 years due to the previous earthquake being relatively small in magnitude. The Nankai Trough earthquake has a predicted magnitude of 8.0-9.1 (the latter having an extremely small chance), and since the last one happened in 1946 and the 1946 one was relative small (I think it was

Dam..that was pretty frikn scary...especially after it gained some momentum..that train station was shaking and making some pretty scary sounds ..wow
Don't worry, every building in Japan are designed to shake quite a bit.

WHat a good structure of the building. And the people reaction, no extremely panic. So organized
Yes. Amazing. This quake was over magnitude 8.0! A earthquake like this would demolish the city I live in. I live in San Francisco so definitely in quake territory.
Yes UA-cam recommendations, I'd love to watch this at 2 am
I’m watching this at 5 AM.

Little did they know that earthquake would be the final warning to thousands of people who are still missing til this day
Never forget.
Nana Pride ー This was filmed on the 25th of March, roughly two-three weeks after the big one. So no, this wasn't.
@@anthonychilders9549 actually it was published on 25th of March there's no mention of the date it was recorded
Hello there
Anthony Childers I doubt it was actually filmed on the 25th, especially since this area didn’t experience really strong quakes that day. Most of them were up north.
@@anthonychilders9549 Looking at the strength and listening to the horror in the announcers voices I’d say this was more than likely the Great Tohokū earthquake of 2011

The worst disaster in Japanese history, and the 5th strongest earthquake recorded in the world.
RIP for more than 18,000 victim.
Nothing will withstand in Romania at a 9.0 earthquake. Yes, we have too. But the most brutal was 7.4 in 1940, then 7.2 in 1977 when we lost 1500 peoples and many buildings collapsed. After that (the building where designed with `30s normative`s until then) we took measures. `86 - 7.2 no damage at all, `90 7.0 and another aftershock in less than 24 hours: 6.4. No damage. Now we waiting for the big one: At least 7.5. I has been a while. The last earthquake was 1 week ago: 5.4. We have at least 1 earthquake between 5 or 6 every year and every time it happens, we think is the "Big One". The problem is that the majority of buildings - 80% have an average age of 50 years or more. Even the flat i`m staying is 40 years old, and is consider "new". We don`t know if a 50 years building, already struck by 2-3 of 7 magnitude earthquakes or so, will resist to a 7.5 or even 8 scale earthquake. Yes, they say that the vast majority of buildings are design for 8 Mw, or 8.5 earthquake after `77. But we don`t know - the panic is in the air. But the most terrifying think, is that in 1802 was a 8.2 Earthquake. The measurement was made by the witness of that time - ppls that wrote about that. If we are strike be a 8.2 earthquake now - they say will be 500 000 deaths only in Bucharest. Will be felt even to Moscow - 2500 km away - like it was in 1802.
A tsumani shortly strucked after the earthquake. JR Joban line are now using a full line after repairing after the earthquake and tsumani

May the souls lost on that horrible day rest in peace.
My Japanese isn't great but the man over the speaker is saying something along the lines of "Thank you and sorry for the wait" and giving information about the earthquake. Also saying something to calm people as well.
It’s quite difficult to understand but the man is saying something like “There’s an earthquake right now. Please get out of the train station and go to the place in front of the station”.
@@ahahmyee6774 If I were to translate it into English using my skills it’s something along the lines of “Laides and gentlemen’s we have just been hit by a powerful earthquake, please leave the train and head to the muster zone in front of the station, please remain calm”.

I would be freaking out meanwhile this guy is calmly like,”Hey Bob, this is crazy…”
Remind me of oh my god Andreas freak out video
I’ve never seen that or heard of that video.
I've been through 4 earthquakes in my life. You never get used to it.
I think it helps that the guy is inside a train. Though it sure won't eliminate all of the shaking, it will probably take the edge of things. But to be honest, I feel his 'Bob, this is crazy' comment is one of total fear. The fact that his companion already says 'big' and the incredible sound the quake produced at this station, most likely scared him, and you can hear it.
When you hear a london train approaching your station:
After years of being fascinated with earthquakes, my wish of experiencing one was granted on the second day of my first visit to Tokyo. It was a 5.9 and I instantly regretted it. Probably the most scared I have ever been in my life. I was not like the guy in this video who seemed to enjoy it at first...
"Hey Bob, This is crazy"
no shit XD
This is one of the most terrifying videos I have seen. geez.
Agreed.
I'm not downplaying this video, but didn't you see any of the tsunami videos? Some are really terrifying, like people running for the water and being engulfed by it. Those are really horrible to me.

Tectonic Plates: How many earthquakes do you want?
Japan: Hai.
Yuri not funny
Almost 7 years after and it's still scaring the crap out of me !Hope you were ok and no one was hurt in the station
Japanese people are strong
Living in California's Bay Area since the mid 70's, so I've experienced many earthquakes over the years...when shit starts shaking, there's always two questions on my mind - is it going to shake any harder?, and is it going to stop?! Usually, no one gets hurt, and there's minimal damage, so I've come to rather like them - it's like a cheap thrill ride, lol. But this one in Japan? OH HELL NOE!!!! Most California quakes are relatively short - usually less than a minute...but this quake just kept coming - even outperformed the Energizer Bunny. These people really kept their cool - I'd have been totally freaking out, lol :)
***** Its gonna happen. Soon. I live 2 blocks from the Hayward fault, in Hayward.
thabboy
Unfortunately, I think you're right - it's been a while since we've had any decent tremblers to let some of the pressure off...funny the things we can convince ourselves to ignore - like living on massive fault lines ;)
***** Agreed. I always tell people we pay a high price of living and big risk, but look at how beautiful California truly is. In one hour, We can be on the ocean, then snow (damn this drought), valleys, mountains, lakes, desert.
thabboy
That it is...drive south for 30 minutes, and I'm in downtown San Francisco, go north for the same time, and hit Point Reyes National Seashore...however, it's ironic that were I not disabled, I wouldn't be able to live here - damn, it's expensive :(
I remember in 1994 when the big one hit. I was a kid back then. We felt it in Southern California. It was a violent shake in the middle of the night witch is more terrifying when you’re a child. My dad got all of us under the dining room table in seconds somehow. I honestly don’t even know if back then that was a safe thing to do. After the earthquake, I remember dust shook into the air and we couldn’t even see our neighbors house through it. The dust was so thick in the air we were only able to see flash lights. It was insane.
I lost count of how many quakes I've experienced here in California, but I am so selfishly thankful that none have been like this. I can't imagine the panic here. I honestly think Japan and its residents are much more composed during an earthquake than I could ever be. Not saying I freak out but yes...my nerves get rattled to the max (sorry for the pun).

There was an earthquake here in Indonesia last night with a tsunami warning and its the scariest thing ever. It's my 4th time in an earthquake and last night was the biggest one. The magnitude was 7,4
I hope you’re okay!
@@djlawlz4041 Thank you! We hope that nothing bad will happen ;-;
I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts. I’ve had an earthquake or two here in Boston, Massachusetts (the east coast of North America) but it’s never more than a tiny shake for a minute or two.
I'm from indonesia too. I experienced 2 earthquakes in just two days, it's scary, I couldn't even sleep peacefully. But thankfully there's no tsunami
@@djlawlz4041 "a minute or two"? That's quite a long time for boston lmao
I have to say the earthquakes in Japan are A LOT worse than what I'm "used to". Down here it's one big jolt and then some shaking and it's over. (Knocking on wood). In Japan they are LONG and horrendously powerful.
Respect to the Japanese for adapting to it. Their Shinkansen earthquake monitoring system stops the trains 10 seconds BEFORE the earthquake starts. Amazing.
Depends on the earthquake and where it happens. The earthquakes this year have generally been short and 'jolt-like'. However, one about two weeks ago was long, but thankfully not particularly strong where I was, but measured shindo 5 lower on the Japanese scale at the epicentre. The Japanese scale measures the amount of shake on the surface and categories 5 and 6 are sub-separated into 'weak and strong', although translated as 'lower and upper' in English. A 5 will cause damage such as concrete-block walls falling over, books and dishes falling off shelves. Anything higher just gets worse. The highest is Shindo 7. You can see the scale here: www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/Activities/image/earth-fig03.png
Amazing how the station is still mostly intact. I can tell you for sure that if this happened at a Metrolink station where I live in Los Angeles there would literally be nothing but concrete.

This gives a more accurate portrayal of the aftershocks than the Tokyo videos do so appreciate the upload. Like you nothing but love and prayers go out to those poor people whose lives were devastated by this awful event, those who lost their lives, those who lost family or friends, those who lost their homes and those who lost their livelihoods. I have to be honest, apart from Fukushima I hadn't really seen any footage of the Tohoku quake so I was obviously to the sheer devastation and over such a wide area as well. To be honest it brought a tree to my eye, seeing the destruction of so many people's lives, homes, livelihoods etc. Guess I can be thankful living in the UK that quakes aren't really something we need to worry about, occasionally we have one around 5.0 but more often than not most are under 4.0
I love how most people in the video are just like, "oh this is only a minor inconvenience!"

Thank you for sharing your video, I lived in the Midwest, Chicago I’ll, I don’t know what it is like to experience an earthquake, but you were good at recording this, I applaud you, I don’t know what I would have done in your situation, pretty scary to watch.
揺れ始めからの映像はほんとに貴重だと思います。撮ってくださってありがとうございます
Awesome, thanks for sharing your video.
Thanks for posting such amazing video + the other videos of your journey from Shirakawa to Tokyo. Knowing my budget, I would have been stuck in Utsunomiya indefinitely and called in some favors from my buddies.
*when you realize this was the same quake that started Fukushima*
I cannot believe how calm you were when you filmed this.
Thanks for posting this. I lived in Utsunomiya at the time of the earthquake. I've since moved (to Sendai), but it's interesting to see how the quake affected other areas of Utsu (I was in Kaminokawa - SE Utsu during the quake).

My name is Fujii from the Safety and Disaster Prevention Department at Toyobo, a Japanese company.
May I use this video for internal training?
Feel free.
Man, that gives me chills. Just went on and on and so violent!!! My family and I went thru 7.1 in Christchurch sept 2010. 2 km from epicenter. We still getting aftershocks... A year of hell basically. glad you ok. thanx. Anna.
Thanks for uploading this video. I think videos like these are very important because they really show how small we are on this planet when it starts to shake.
I think that experiencing one of worlds strongest earthquakes is so breath-taking that you don't even think about that at the moment the quake hits...
I was in Tokyo a few months before. They are wonderful people. I also was in Northridge in 1994. I thought that was big, but it only lasted about 30 seconds. This was about two minutes. It's hard for me to compare the intensity of the two. I was very close to the epicenter. It was intense in Northridge, but shorter.
WOW. at the :58 point you can see the reflection of the train you guys were on and how bad it was bouncing. Amazing video. One of the few I have seen when the quake actually started and not during. Who'd of thought you'd being catching one of the 5 biggest quakes to every hit at that very moment!
Sir, Madam, I am with you as you nicely put it:
''my thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful people of Japan''
I visited Japan in 2007 and this was the crown of yll my travels :)
This is the station where we changed trains on our way to Nikko less than a year before the quake, and I was curious to know what the quake felt like in that area. Keep in mind that Utsunomiya is around 200km south and inland from Sendai. Thanks for posting the video.
I cried just watching this, I’m horribly afraid of earthquakes and natural disasters in general. A pretty strong earthquake hit while I was at work not too long ago. I was scared for my tiny chihuahua, and my devices because it has years worth of work stored without being backed up. Now I’m all shaky. I actually cried uncontrollably at work that day, had many breakdowns. Earthquakes are fucking terrifying. That’s why I’d never consider moving to Japan. Which is a shame, because I’m sure it’s a very beautiful and pleasant country.
Wow, you succeeded shooting this video almost from the begining of the quake! This clip is a very rare data.
And I found out that we need more information in English at real-time.
wow. that was wild. i can only imagine what it felt like to be there while it was happening. great video man. glad you made it out ok.
It's amazing how everyone seem to be very calm.
nice job filming, I grew up in California been in many quakes.
This is the best video of the quake I've seen. Most of the focus is on the tsunami. This gives you an idea of what caused the sea to rise and the earth's axis to be moved. And this was rather remote from the epicenter!
I just love when UA-cam gives me these recommendations.
Japanese citizens: casually takes shelter
Me: MOMMY MOMMY IM SCARED
I complain about 4 feet of snow and here these people have to deal with the earth literally threatening to break under their feet
wow...it started out and went for a while before the full force kicked in, then it seemed to go forever... kudos for keeping a cool head, and getting this great video to share..
It sounds like someone is dropping thousands of cutleries in the middle of a quite night

I remember when this happened. We were in London at the time and the natural history museum had an earthquake simulation exhibit. They closed to be respectful to the families of people who were injured or killed in the quake.
I just like how the guy in the beginning just casually walks while there is an earthquake...
2:01

とても貴重な映像です
@rajalovesjill the train I was in was safe. I heard of reports that 4 trains total went off the tracks and one which was near the coast was not recovered. I was very lucky and very thankful. My prayers are with the wonderful people of Japan.
I’m sorry to hear about that train near the coast. Was it ever recovered?
I noted that right as Bob started saying "Earthquake" you can hear the air conditioning turn off, likely either the overhead electrical shut down or the crew felt the quake and dropped the Pantagraph. More likely the former as I'm sure Japan has a million and one safety systems to detect earthquakes and stop or protect trains.
I'm glad you were safe, amazed only four trains were seriously affected.
@@jaanfo3874 Most train systems do a few things during a quake over Shindo 5-/5+
A. Pantograph down and Electrical Isolation rods go down under the bogies to ground the train in case of OLE collapse
B. If not already stopped the trains utilise an extra 2 tons of brake force even normal Emergency Brakes don’t use
C. The conductor tunes to the lines rail accident command network
D. The train evacuates after 5 minutes of the shaking stopping
And finally the train is inspected for damage caused by the quake and caused by the deceleration force of on average, 7.5kmh/s which is nearly 2 times the normal emergency brake deceleration speed of 4/4.5kmh/s.
What will never cease to impress me is how calm were the people on the station during the earthquake and that they got into the building instead of rush to get out!
Wow! Thank God you're okay! You seem so calm too. I would have been screaming or crying or something if I were there.
Occurs in 2011 But
RECOMMEND 2019
WHY???
There's probably gonna be another one like that somewhere else maybe.
Foreshadowing
Nobody:
Earthquake: Hello
Insurance Companies: Ah shit, here we go again...
Wow! That lasted a long time! Is this the one that generated the tsunami? Hope all are okay!
glad ya made it back ok---great vid, saw dust coughed up where i can only assume pavement cracked. good shootin.
Those were lights that fell
The most shocking is that this place is 300km far from epicenter. Sendai must have been more dangerous
Sendai Mediatheque video shows how strong it was there
No, his advisor is actually amazed (maybe even scared, with every reason to be so): You hear him say 'sugoi' (don't know if I spell it right, but it's a japanese word for 'big' or 'strong') and quite shortly after that 'big' (which more sounds like 'bieeg, bieeg')
The fact that you hear people shout at how powerfull this one is, really says something: the japanese are used to earthquakes, but certainly not M9.0 earthquakes.
wonder if there is a video from someone out there of them riding the bullet train from somewhere in japan to another random place in japan when all of a sudden the train comes to a screetching halt right before the shaking starts
Good video! It’s rare to see an EQ vid from start to end.
Japanese buildings are amazing! If this was in India, there would be nothing left of that station.
lmao I love in beginning person walk calmly like well I do feel the earthquake but I don’t give a shit I’m still going work 🤣🤣🤣
I've been in some minor earthquakes (3-5) and was thinking through the beginning "Oh that's not so bad" and then shit started falling and I was like "OK it's pretty bad"
Went through the Loma Prieta quake it was very short, Japan gets these huge long lasting quakes amazing stuff !
Yeah. Prety much. I had to work that night so I was still asleep. When it began and woke me up it was gentle and "Oh this is neat" but then got bigger and bigger.
Amazing video. Can anyone translate what the public announcement are saying?
Thanks

@pso3725 And it still scares the shit out of me: especially the 'He Bob... this is crazy' at 1:09 sends ice-cold chills down my spine... it really 'displays' how in awe you are about what's happening, and how scared you are, while at the same time not realising (ofcourse) how incredibly strong this earthquake exactly was.
The fact that even the japanese guy in the background is almost gasping for breath provides goosebumps all over...
I overslept one earthquake, but 2002 I experinced a 4.5 and I still found it very scary, but something like this... may you be blessed.
