    Superb documentary. One thing that was not clear is that downtown city center sits on a river... not the ocean. So the tsanami was funneled from the ocean to the city. The river acted like a funnel with wide opening ocean side then narrows to the city. The river is very deep. When my family was there we witnessed a naval submarine working its way to the ocean. If you can add Lisbon to your vacation it is absolutely worth the effort. The tragedy is also credited with the beginning of the Enlightenment if I'm not mistaken.

      The factors are elevation and distance from the ocean. Add the 2 together and that is the risk factor. Below 20 is very high risk. Run up is another factor. We know Japan had a run up of 6 miles in some areas and Lisbon sits at 7 ft above sea level. That equals disaster.

      @whoever6458 Рік тому +4

      I think it is the helplessness that makes earthquakes a little bit scary, even if you are in a modern, earthquake-resistant building. It's like finding yourself on a ride that you didn't sign up to get on and can't get off, plus you don't know when the ride will end. Once it's happening, the only thing you can do is to get under something and wait for it to go away. While an earthquake is happening, what does make me feel nervous is not knowing when it will stop or how big it will get before it does finally stop. Hell, after about 45 seconds of shaking, a part of me starts to wonder if it ever will stop but they always do.

    "It was in Spain and Portugal that the shock manifested its extreme violence. At Cadiz the inflowing wave was said to be sixty feet high. Mountains, "some of the largest in Portugal, were impetuously shaken, as it were, from their very foundations, and some of them opened at their summits, which were split and rent in a wonderful manner, huge masses of them being thrown down into the adjacent valleys. Flames are related to have issued from these mountains." Sir Charles Lyell, Principles of Geology, p. 495.
    At Lisbon "a sound of thunder was heard underground, and immediately afterwards a violent shock threw down the greater part of that city. In the course of about six minutes sixty thousand persons perished. The sea first retired, and laid the bar dry; it then rolled in, rising fifty feet or more above its ordinary level." "Among other extraordinary events related to have occurred at Lisbon during that catastrophe, was the subsidence of of a new quay, built entirely of marble, at an immense expense. A great concourse of people had collected there for safety, as a spot where they might be beyond the reach of falling ruins; but suddenly the quay sank down with all the people on it, and not one of the dead bodies ever floated to the surface." Sir Charles Lyell, Principles of Geology, p. 495. cited in The Great Controversy pp, 305, 306.

And the potential danger of these plates. Never ever heard of this before nor learned at school.... WHY??
    If it is such a threat to all of Europe??

      We get enough earthquakes in California that, while we will eventually get a huge earthquake, most structures will be fine or at least places where you can survive if you get under a table or something. The danger here is that we aren't as likely to take the beginning of an earthquake that seriously because they usually amount to a few seconds of shaking and that's it so people don't always bother getting under their desk for them. The buildings are pretty good here but stuff inside the buildings can definitely fall over and hit you so it's a good idea to get under something. In my four decades of life, only one thing has ever fallen at my house during an earthquake and that was my desk lamp in a 7.4 earthquake that shook for nearly 2 minutes. Even if you are somewhere that doesn't have a lot of building codes for earthquakes, if you get under a table, you will almost certainly be fine.

      History doesn't teach natural disasters. You learn those concepts in geography. Then if you want you buy and read an invention called book, or opt for a documentary. If you live above a seismic zone, like i do, you should be reading a lot about it. Anyway, if you read about those events around the world, there's a key factor called luck. In the end it's all about luck. A family of Americans perished in Turkey, because of the Gaziantep earthquake. They were visiting relatives. Didn't live there, didn't own property there, just visiting and out of luck.

    Just an FYI, all tsunami do NOT start by the ocean water retreating from the shore like it's said in the video, only half of them do. Tsunami spread out from its starting point in all directions like a circle, in one half of the circle the water will retreat from the shore but in the other half the water just starts rising. So if the ocean ever just starts rising for no reason don't ever think that just because the water didn't retreat from the shore that it's not a tsunami.

      For all the good he did (and he did a lot to advance Portugal at the time tbh), he also went a little crazy with The Távoras were he used extended torture for both accused and accusers (basically twisting reality and facts to his own personal benefit and ambitions) were even children were executed publicly and in very, VERY gruesome ways... he also basically did a Night of the Long Knives before the Nazis on The Jesuits religious order aka "Society of Jesus", basically taking everything away from them, while killing some in the process before giving order of expulsion from Portugal and all Portuguese Colonies (the reality is that he only did it because he had seen the ultimate opportunity to get total control over the entire country's Economy). I do think he did more good than bad overall, but many innocent lost their lives and suffered in ritualistic disgusting ways because of his personal agenda (for all of his rational persona he did had some very fucked-up and almost non-humane flexible boundaries). Still his contribution to move the country forward into a new, better and overall more enlightened future, is undeniable imo.

    S Waves are not vertical, they are horizontal, just like the P Waves. P Waves move toward and away from the epicenter, alternately compressing and extending the ground. S Waves move side to side at 90 degrees to the line from the epicenter. The third wave train, known as Surface Waves, is the vertical movement. The surface waves resemble water waves, moving across the ground and raising and lowering it.

    Morocco on the northwest coast of Africa on the Atlantic is very close to Portugal. Just in the last month or so Morocco had another devastating earthquake which killed I think 2 to 3000 people. I had read that the same earthquake on that day which almost destroyed Lisbon did more damage and killed more people in Morocco in North Africa than anywhere else. But since this was the year 1755 it was barely known or reported on since Morocco was not a power and not in Europe.

      Revelation 16:17-21 -
      "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
      And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great....
      And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
      And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great".

      Morocco in North Africa which was very close to Portugal was almost just as devastated by the 1755 earthquake but since it was North Africa it did not get any of the attention that Lisbon did. The death toll was just as high if not more with coastal cities destroyed, tsunamis, deaths and destruction but Morocco's earthquake and tsunami did not get the attention that Lisbon did.

(with the 2004 tsunami Indonesia got surprised with the negative wave with warning, Sri Lanka got hit with the other side of the tsunami wave and didn't get the "warning"...)

In about two hours after the shock, fires broke out in different quarters, and raged with such violence for the space of nearly three days, that the city was completely desolated. The earthquake happened on a holyday, when the churches and convents were full of people, very few of whom escaped." Encyclopedia Americana, art. "Lisbon", note (ed. 1831)

    I am glad that you have mentioned the Azores-Gibraltar Transform Fault. It is my understanding is that it was traced to this fault near the Azores that is becoming a nascent subduction zone. Some researchers believe that this fault turning into a subduction zone is the very beginning of the Atlantic Basin beginning to close. And if this was a subduction zone quake, it certainly explains the violence of the quake and magnitude of the destruction.

    It was a. sound you felt, a deep rumbling that travelled through your body, I cannot explain it properly. It was so weird, and then I thought I was dizzy and could not stand still but realised it was the ground quivering beneath my feet.
    We ran into the garden and we were safe. No damage to our apartment. Kos was not so lucky.
    It does not end with the first earthquake, so many aftershocks, and they were more scary because we. knew what they were then.

    Pombal was also a bitter, vindictive, social climber, a power-hungry, anticlericalist petty nobleman who sent the future Marquise of Alorna to jail at age 8. Her crime ? Her grandparents were implicated in a plot to assassinate the King. A plot that Pombal may have orchestrated himself to get rid of political opponents. No charge was ever proven, but the most vicious and cruel torture and executions were carried out anyway, thus showing Pombal's true colours.

    Here are two geological things I wonder about. 1. If you look at a map of the west coast of Portugal, Lisbon's big harbor is almost unique - almost unique because there is a similar smooth bay just to the south of it. The rest of the coast is almost a straight line. When the earth has something unique or unusual, we wonder what made it. I wonder if there's a fault or other feature contributing to the existence of Lisbon's harbor. 2. It was a good idea to design better buildings, but another factor is what the buildings are built on. Bedrock is much safer than soft layers of sand, gravel or mud, particularly if they are saturated. Fill is the worst thing. 3. If you have to live in an area with earthquakes, live in a wood-frame house that sways with the shaking.
