Empire State Building vs. 8.1 Earthquake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лис 2023
- Watch this hypothetical earthquake collapse simulation of the Empire State Building (partial replica). In real life, the steel frame building would perform pretty well in an earthquake. Nonetheless, the chances of a large earthquake happening in New York City are quite negligible.

Welcome to the world’s largest and only 3D earthquake simulation channel on UA-cam! My channel focuses on realistic 3D earthquake simulations of a variety of virtual structures and types of buildings from around the world. Some of my work has been featured by various international media news outlets and it has also been used by other large UA-cam channels such as GeologyHub, GeoPop and CaSeismograph for educational purposes. This channel’s content has also been featured on the Curiosity Channel in a recent documentary called “Breakthrough: Forecasting the Big One”.
The simulations that I post serve an educational purpose and should be solely treated as such. We should not forget that earthquakes are real world events that can sometimes lead to loss of properties and lives.
The simulations were created in Blender 3D with the bullet constraints builder add-on by Kai Kostack.

earthqauke sim i have a idea you can do volcano simulation can you do honga tunga volcano sim
Looks surprisingly realistic!
How did you determine the simulation is producing an 8.1 earthquake?
I Love This channel! You gained +1 Subscriber! And notification bell and a like
@@MrVRMonke thank you so much!!
As someone who builds a lot of skyscrapers like this, I can appreciate the insane amount of time and effort you've put into this! Amazing work!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Oh your the besiege one! Hi!
Yooo 911 besiege guy
But I wanna know, is the earthquake accurate?
thanks for your work sir, people wouldn't have anplace to work/stay without you 🫡
In Mexico City we have an inspired tower called "Torre Latinoamericana", it represents the symbol of the mexican modernity from mid 50's, it was built in 1956 and for two decades was the highest skycrapper out of USA and the first on being built only with steel, aluminum and crystal. Was built on a high seismic risk area with an special water injection system in it's base. It has resisted more than 10 earthquakes between 6.5 and 8.2 since 1957. I hope you can make a 3D model of that.
But...I already did on my channel a year ago! You should check the video❤️❤️
why i love this so much? I honestly don't know maybe because when i was younger i was building a lot of skyscrapers using wooden blocks then simulate an earthquake. Memories are coming back...
I was doing the exactly same thing!
the way I simulated earthquakes was by stomping on the floor lol
@@Treesinthesummer lol. I had a carpet where i was building big cities and then i moved it to simulate the earthquake but that's one of many ways i simulated this disaster
Love to see a video on how well Blackpool Tower holds up to an earthquake
This reminded me of that Life After People episode, watching the building collapse
Thanks for all the great work you do. These are fascinating and terrifying at the same time. I like how you incorporate emergency sounds and broadcast instructions and sometimes video to add even MORE realism.
Torres gemelas
Was looking forward to this! Did not disappoint!
I have watched you since you had 210 subs and I hope you grow to have 100K+ you are my favorite simulation physic youtube channel
7:37 shoutout to that one window that bounced up into outer space
haha!! yes!!
This reminds me of all the old Blender simulations I used to watch
yep!! hopefully these are a bit better :)
@@EarthquakeSim yes these are way better
I Really love this building in real life. I really like you made a simulation about it ! Hope you will do a tv tower next !
its is gonna be exciting thank you earthqauke sim we love your videos keep going
thanks for the support!
earthqauke sim i have idea
@@EarthquakeSim you can do other natural disasters simulation like hurricanes or floods
This means the empire state building would’ve fallen down in Chile’s 8.8 earthquake that we suffered back in 2010. Only one poorly designed 15 stories building collapsed that day in the region of Concepción named “Alto Río”. Cheers to the chilean engineers and architects! 🇨🇱
Remember that I mentioned " what if we take away some steel columns and increase the intensity" 🙂ESB would most likely survive an intensity of IX easily
i am also from Chile
I WILL BE WATCHING
The building was one of earliest steel structures and over built so not sure if it would happen this way
8.1 is a little low but its not invincible, sure it could initially survive a plane the size of the ones that took out the twims but it would be permanently unusable and unstable and probably be dismanteled, worst case scenario the whole block is lost
thank you so much for your time and awesome videos
This reminded me of the movie Deluge (1933) where the building gets destroyed by an earthquake
At about 4:19, I really like what appears to be a cross section view during the earthquake. For future skyscraper simulations that kind of view would be nice to see.
You are right about that! I will include that in future simulations
@@EarthquakeSimmind doing a simulation of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, or an earthquake on the wasatch fault or the fault lines running directly below Salt Lake City?
you mean longitudinal?
@@ir8freeYes.
Twin Towers vs 8.0 Earthquake. Please
mesmerizing!
One thing I reckon the Empire State Building has going for it is that it was intended for air ships to moore to the mast, unfortunately no one asked passengers if they'd enjoy disembarking via a narrow gangplank that high up over the pavement on a cold windy foggy New York morning! Still, I imagine the strength they had to build into the structure works in its favor where it comes to ground movement....
I know (or at least im pretty sure) there isnt a giant I beam up the middle, still seemed like a damn strong building in the first one before it was 'made to fail' as it were. Hopefully people realize the later bits are exaggerated (We all know some people wont read that far into it...and take the later bits at face value...because humans gotta human), even then its a really interesting model and sim!
Can you please make an earthquake video about Japan? (maybe Tokyo) And I think you do a great job on State Empire Building
nice work!
thank you so much early fan!!!
Earthquake warning system or earthquake early warning system is a system of accelerometers, seismographs, communications, computers and alarms designed to notify adjacent areas of a significant earthquake while the earthquake is in progress. This is not the same as earthquake forecasting, which still cannot produce decisive event warnings.
Time delay and wave projection
The release of stored elastic strain energy in rapid slip along the fault causes an earthquake. Slip begins somewhere and progresses on the fault surface in all directions, away from the hypocenter. The propagation speed of this fault rupture is slower than and different from the speed of the resulting pressure and shear waves; the pressure wave moves faster than the shear wave. Pressure waves create sudden shock. Shear waves produce periodic motion (at about 1 Hz) that is most destructive to structures, especially buildings with similar resonance periods. Generally, these buildings are about eight stories high. These waves will be strongest at the edges of the slide and can project destructive waves well beyond the fault failure. The intensity of such remote effects depends largely on local soil conditions in the region, and these effects are taken into account when creating the region model, which determines appropriate responses to particular events.
Passage security
Such systems are currently implemented in urban rail systems such as BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and Los Angeles Metro to determine the appropriate real-time response to an event by the train operator.[1] The appropriate response depends on the duration of the warning, local right-of-way conditions, and the current speed of the train.
Warning time given by the earthquake warning system of the Earthquake Network project[2] for the May 2015 Nepal earthquake. The cross marker indicates the earthquake epicenter, while the dot marker indicates the detection location.
Distribution
As of 2016, Japan and Taiwan have comprehensive, nationwide earthquake early warning systems.
Limited earthquake in other countries and regions, including Mexico (the Mexican Seismic Warning System covers areas of central and southern Mexico, including Mexico City and Oaxaca), limited areas of Romania (Basarab bridge in Bucharest), and parts of the United States There is a warning system deployment. The first automatic earthquake pre-detection systems were installed in the 1990s, for example, the Calistoga, California fire department's system that automatically triggered sirens in the city to warn all residents of the earthquake.[3] Some California fire departments use alert systems to automatically open fire stations' garage doors before an earthquake disables them. While most of these efforts are government-owned, a few private companies also produce earthquake early warning systems to protect infrastructure such as elevators, gas lines, and fire stations.
Canada
In 2009, an early warning system called ShakeAlarm was installed and operated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The warning system was put in place to protect critical transportation infrastructure called the George Massey Tunnel, which connects the north and south banks of the Fraser River. In this application, when there is a dangerous seismic event at the tunnel entrances, the system automatically closes the doors.[4] The success and reliability of the system was such that there were several additional installations on the west coast of Canada and the United States as of 2015, with more planned.
Japan
Japan's Earthquake Early Warning system was implemented in 2006. The public warning system was established on October 1, 2007.[5][6] It is modeled in part on the Japan Railways Emergency Earthquake Detection and Alarm System (UrEDAS), which was designed for automatic braking of high-speed trains.[7]
Gravimetric data from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was used to build models with longer warning times compared to seismic models, as gravitational fields travel at the speed of light, much faster than seismic waves.
my hands are died:💀💀💀💀💀
Scary this could have happened today NYC is not built for earthquakes
Let me see if I understood...removing steel columns and beams just to increase the shaking force? So what's the way the building weight is supported then?
Anyway, I wanted this kind of simulation when I studied my last course "Concrete and Steel Building Design"; it has been very helpful. Thanks for sharing it.
Cool 👍
After the initial scenario where the building remains almost entirely unfazed, what are some long term consequences that would result from this kind of structural trauma? Would it be possible to restore the building to its pre-quake integrity, or will it significantly cut the lifespan of the structure no matter what? Or, would the building even be usable after this, or would it have to be condemned or even demolished?
Thanks for doing the ones where you weakened the building so that we could all get that satisfying Horror Jenga moment.
Hi, with the experience I had in the seism of 1985 in Mexico City and following the ACI rules, many buildings that showed cracks or some damage were destined and condemned to be demolished, because in no way they were allowed to be reused for anything. Even the zone where Mexico City is located is classified as very dangerous because it's settled on compressible soils and requires a deep foundation, so repairs would be very expensive and probably won't work as its design demands it. Maybe the soil in New York is more resistant to settlements and allows repairs, but skyscrapers are expensive and require a lot of engineering. That's my opinion. Cheers.
@@JoseDiaz-er4ww Thank you so much 🥰 I didn't consider the added risk of the land - NYC is coastal lowland so I imagine the soil is not great and has the added issue of a high water table. Thanks a ton for sharing, even though I'm sure those are difficult memories for you. I hope you're doing alright.
@@nadapenny8592 No problem! After many years of that tragedy, remember it and see here on YT many videos of how it was, still feels, and hurts, but that's the risk of living in the middle of Mexico City, due to it's settled on a very seismic zone. Have a good time !!!
@@nadapenny8592Manhattan Island was scraped bare of soil and sediment within last 20,000 years by glaciation. This mitigates the most dangerous chaotic S waves, settlement, liquefaction, etc.
In the 1994 southern California quake, some of the highest ground acceleration occurred at bedrock outcrops. Regardless, the worst damage occurred in young and poorly consolidated sedimentary basins. Same in San Francisco, the hills are not nearly so hazardous as the flats. Reclaimed land is worst.
I think that, even though in this simulation only half of the Empire State Building survived, it would’ve been a major engineering challenge to reuse it or repair it. My guess is that after seeing it would be too expensive and too much work to keep using the other half of the building, the city might be deciding to demolish it and rebuild it from scrap, but making it much stronger and safer than the old skyscraper.
Earthquake graphics!
my pc would go oi vittu i cant handle this and then go up into space if i even dared to try this lol
pov: Chile every day
Props for the camera man for filming this
I absolutely agree with that!! It was shot from a drone 😁
I wonder if they had to rebuild it everytime it collapsed while the drone was filming it 🤔
@@Happy_Monke they did
fact: the Empire State Building was once struck by a plane but didn't fall, thanks for its strong structure. :)
I call BS because the plane that hit the Empire State Building was a B 25 a extra small plane that is equivalent to the length of a mini truck while the planes that hit on 9/11 were two jumbo commercial jets aiming for the towers with a full tank of jet fuel at 500 mph no building is meant to withstand that the twin towers did exceptionally well for how long it stood the Empire building can’t afford a hit like that it would collapse immediately
0:33 it was dancing
Suggestion can we add a 4x speed under playback under settings please? Thank you. I know it's already done and whens all's that left 😊
nice
You should make one of the wtc
Im very happy to see your new video
Thank you so much for watching!!
make a video about the istanbul fault like the one in the sea of istanbul they were saying a strong earthquake might happen there and istanbul isn't ready
Do Tour Odeon Next
good stuff, what did you use to make this?
I've used Blender 3D with bullet constraints builder extension
Hi EQS!
it's good hearing from you!
Do U.S Bank Tower Pls
He's twerking
Lol
ESB when it listens to Old Town Road:
When the new Madrid fault moved in 1815. It registered as a 8.3 in New York.
why is the building dancing
it's all the acceleration caused by the quake!
2:35
is that thing going upwards!? 😂❤
Yep!! There are small glitches sometimes😊
@@EarthquakeSim ♥️
It was orange and white too
There could be a earthquake like this if one of the semi-inactive fault lines here decides to go haywire
3rd Comment, YO I WAS ON 8 MIN
ur second
Plot Twist: There was no earthquake in this video. Zilla went invisible, outgrew the Empire State Building, and shakes it violently
can you pls do the burj khalifa next pls
I have done that already on my channel 🙂 it’s called Burj Dubai
The thing is the east coast of the USA never has any earth quakes
Hey could you see how well the shard in London holds up to an earthquake
Yep!
@@EarthquakeSim nice one
That was fast
I'm on mobile so I can't see livE chat
39 minutes? EarthquakeSim commented 1 hour ago?
3 other people commented before it was uploaded? Maybe live chat.
EarthquakeSim I love your channel, can you reply my comment EarthquakeSim? And make this comment became the top
as a 1945 kid, this gives me nostalgia...
1:47 NOOOOOO EMPIRE! 1:55 HELP!
i cant think the fear of guy at top floor 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I do not think buildings just collapse by separate floors jumping off..
it's impossible the metal frame doesn't collapse like that
Ngl that looks like jiggle
But is this how the building would actually react though?
pretty sure it would be a lot stiffer.
0:57 how kids talk:
Im couldn’t even image
is the earthquake possible to happen in NYC? i mean in real life.
Actually it can. The 2011 earthquake in Virginia showed that it can happen.
Sdo other famous buildings in nyc
What's is name game
And another one.
ITS GONNA BE OREMERE
Wow the graphic amazing but it gives me weird 9/11 feeling
Man the Empire State Building is super strong! Especially for a building that only took 13 months to build ! Crazy!
Why nyc
gave me idea for Demolition company name🤔
""""P.A.R.T.Y Demolition co, """- 🤘"we bring the HOUSE- DOWN‼🤘
Credits to the cameraman building the Empire State all over again and again
PREMERE
Bro in roblox
Roblox physics😅😂
"what if we take away some steel columns and increase the intensity"
But its not built that way so its a totally BS video. A better video would be to show just what intensity earthquake it would take to knock the ESB down. Sorry to be a critic, but its a totally unrealistic scenario that I see a lot of people taking as real judging by the comments.
