I am Japanese. This earthquake was very shocking. Foreign tourists in the disaster area, if you are in trouble, please talk to a Japanese person nearby. We will help you, even if there is a language barrier.
God save all Japanese people🙏
BUDHANG SARANAG GACHAMI 🙏
Prayers to you and everyone in Japan. 🙏
Thank you! I’m I. Japan, Tokyo right now. Still contemplating on whether to leave Japan, I’m grateful that Japanese people are so helpful
❤
Man that’s horrifying being in those buildings as the quake happens. I do hope everyone will be ok and no body dies or gets severely injured. My thoughts are with you all in Japan.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- The fact that you still believe in a man-made 2,000 year old tribal belief is adorable... Does Apollo still make the sun rise with his chariot?
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-😊
@667SatansNeighbor you sound like a secret believer. ❤
@@667SatansNeighborllol😂😂😂
@@667SatansNeighbor Doesnt believe in God but believes in Satan 😅
I experienced a mild after shock while visiting Guatemala when i was a young man many years. I can't describe the feeling of total helplessness as the earth quietly moved beneath my feet. I can't imagine experiencing a full-blown earthquake. I hope everyone was ok in this quake in Japan.
@@Calibrex_Gaming 2019 a 7.2 for 3 minutes & we were on the top floor so it felt like walking drunk down the stairwell all the way to ground floor, we got the day off work that day. Surprisingly not one building or roads had any structural damage.
@calibrexdaoc a 7.6 earthquake isn't a full-blown earthquake? What's considered a legit quake, then? I don't know, I'm just asking.
ok…..
@@Patriot677to me it is an earthquake!! Recently in Morocco they had a 7.0 earthquake and several people died, because their structures are very, very old. Entire villages were flattened.
Japan has been preparing well for earthquakes.
I experienced a 4.7 tremor once, as a teen, and it was one of the most horrific moments of my life. There was no destruction but you feel totally helpless and even though it is only for a couple of minutes, those minutes feel like an eternity! I remember being shaken for weeks. Which was one of the reasons I didn't move to California.
@@Calibrex_Gamingare you an expert? Go back to school
So much respect to Japanese people! No panic, no screams, admiration!
thank you!
They learn to do this since childhood small scale earthquakes are frequent over there
Foreals respect! I would panic out
I felt a earthquake today California 4.5 nothing compare to over there
So scary, praying for Japan
Admirable aspects of Japan: 1) The best earthquake and tsunami warning systems in the world, 2) Strict engineering and building codes that keep modern structures safe and standing, 3) A population that remains calm and mostly unpanicked during disasters, and 4) A total lack of looting after a disaster. I don’t think anyplace in the world comes up to their standards.
アメリカの学校がテロ訓練を実施するように、日本では幼い頃から地震訓練と火災訓練を全国民が行います。
4 is rlly wrong lol
@@o5-998はい、略奪行為を行う者もいます。善人しかいない国などあり得ないのです。
Pray for Japan, it looks scary. I wish everyone is ok and stays healthy.
@CookieMonster-- wow, you're a special kind of customer arent you?
@CookieMonster-- you sound like one of those atheist incels
Your worthless whispers to imaginary invisible beings in the skies, water, earth, and fires will do wonders for everyone in the real world.
@@daveubermenschdisgusting and disgraceful. Trolling at this time. Pathetic!
I’ve been living in Japan for 25 years. From Japan, we are overwhelmed by the big earthquake even 1/1. Whether we live in the nearest place hit by that, we are praying. I hope everyone is safe🙏
FYI Today, Ishikawa Prefecture, where a major earthquake and tsunami occurred, is famous for the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, which houses numerous modern art pieces created both domestically and internationally since 1980. It is renowned as a tourist destination
God help Japan from Romania😢
Prayers my fellow human keep safe 🙏
@@clarakam3858 Thank you. we are connected.
Современное искусство это мрак! Да это и вообще не искусство. Все в прошлом, увы.
Thank you for your update. Please be safe 🙏.
Such cool and disciplined people- no panic amidst the disaster
That's racist..everyone is the same
nobody is stealing or looting either
@@soundnessofmind7196how is that racist. The Japanese people are very civilized and prepared for these types of events. They have learned to do things properly to minimize chaos and loss of life.
@@cjc2same goes for any country tho
@@soundnessofmind7196compliments are racist? Clown
Much Respect and love to the architects and engineers!!!! Happy new years!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@CharlesGarrafa you welcome 🫡
As someone who has also lived in an area prone to large earthquakes and seen major destruction, I hope the people of Japan remain safe and the damage is minimal. Prayers form Pakistan.
As someone who doesn’t care about your opinion.
@@MakelBelieveif you didnt care why did you respond?
@@MakelBelievePlease leave your house and touch some grass.
Its amazing how their buildings are structured for these type of tragedies.
😊😊😊
Japan in our hearts.
Not mine
@@lordmarkquad4470 So You watched the full video hoping for the joy of watching disaster; which country r u from??
This is so scary. I was on vacation in Japan and left right when the earthquakes started, on the same night, almost in the same hour. Its so hard to think that I was just there a few hours before all this started. RIP to the 48 that died.
I hope everyone is ok after those earthquakes. I am praying for the people in Japan
لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
I wish everyone in Japan will be safe and endure the disaster. And I’m also shocked by their composure during the crisis. That’s something I want to learn from them.
May God Bless the people of Japan
I am Japanese.The place where I live is not damaged at all, but I cry a lot when I see the comments here.There are so many good people in the comments section here that no one is happy about the earthquake in Japan.
Don't be surprised. Most people love the Japanese. ❤
No one should be happy about such disasters anywhere
@@SRBOMBONICA86 especially in
Japan!
I opened UA-cam to this.
an tsunami and an earthquake, what a horrible way to start the year, but hopes and prayers to all of Japan🙏💕
May God give all the people of Japan strenght and patience to get through this. My prayers goes out from my heart, to the people of Japan, to the people of the Philippines who reside there and all others who call this country home. God be with you.
pppaaaaa
Thanks everything's fixed now.
@@anterpants Oh shut up!
God isn’t real though, he’s a middle eastern fairytale character lol
Yeah, cause praying to an imaginary being helps. You know what actually helps? Donation.
Hope everyone is ok ! Love you Japan !
What a way to start off the new year like that, that's insane!! I hope everyone in Japan managed to stay safe that day!
My heart goes out to those in affected Japan and all of Japan. Im so sorry. I hope people are ok. Please be ok.
Thank u ok 😊😊😊
dang, I'm sorry this happened to you all, especially on today of all days.. Such an awful, and ominous way to start the new year..
Japan is such a special place, my prayers are with you all in hopes of minimal loss of life and damages, & hopes of a swift recovery..
Nothing ominous about it. Just a sign for us to start doing better!❤
PRAY FOR JAPAN 🇯🇵🇯🇵
God bless Japan. Please take care. 🙏 From Philippines.
Japan has very beautiful people. Much love and prayers to everyone.
I'm Japanese.
Some people put comments about "Why didn't the guy run away from big sign board?"
The guy was at Kanazawa station where is near epicenter.
They had seismic intensity 7.The level doesn't let you walk.
Not correct that He didn't run away.He couldn't.
And,to all prayers for Japan, thank you very much from bottom of my heart.
I hope it is movies,but sadly real.
My friend isn't posting "I'm safe" at X until now(9hours passed).
Please pray with me for his safe.😢
Aaaa!!
My friend finally posted message!
It tells me that his house all furniture fell down,and there is so many houses collapsed around,But he and his family are evacuated,nothing have any injuries!
Thank you for all prayers!😭🙏
That is good news, thank you for the update! I'm glad your friend and his family are safe! 🤗
Here in upstate New York it is rare to experience earthquakes. At least ones that can be felt
A couple decades ago or so we had one and it is an incredibly eerie experience.
There was one today here in NYC.
@@NYGiants4Life I will watch the 6 o’clock news. Btw go Buffalo. lol jk
I feared for the person standing below the signs
Me too. All that space... they could've moved 3 feet forward.
You've clearly never experienced a strong earthquake. When it's that intensity, even just WALKING is more difficult for a lot of people. Don't judge until it's happened to you. Also, he was near stairs. Couldn't you see? If he tried moving forward to the stairs, he could have fallen and really hurt himself.@@MPPG663
Prayers for Japan ... Please stay safe and strong!
神が日本人を災害から守り、命の損失がありませんように。
They sure know how to build .
😢 That is awful, I now see why it must be hard to live in Japan hope everyone is ok
Watching this video brought back how we all felt when we had the major earthquakes in Christchurch. The fear came rushing back. I have been through two tornadoes , when lived in the USA and two major earthquakes and earthquakes are worse.
So, so sorry for Japan from a seismic country Chile. South america 😢
I really like the Japanese brothers and please stay safe. May God protect human and animal life. Let us pray for everyone there. God bless this great nation that is Japan
🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢
I've only been in a 4.3 and I was 200 miles away. I thought I was just feeling odd from a long days work. I hope you guys are okay over there.
Greetings from Tennessee. I am looking at our shelves throughout the house and pondering the mess we would have if we had an earthquake.
I know not everyone won't go unharmed, or loose their their lives, but may your precious souls find the strength to deal with this tragedy, and the aftermass of this horrid disaster 🙏. Australia is thinking of you all.
That must be the most awful feeling. Prayers for the people of Japan. All those folks walking through the shopping center and no one is looting…
...yes, because it isn't America. 💩
Why would people just start looting??
@@Darknesssleeps, because anyone who believes in invisible magic beings already has an active imagination.
Not a nice one though.
@@Darknesssleeps Lots of trolls around tonight. Pathetic sad people mocking real people suffering to start fights. Best to ignore.
@@FourDollaRacing people don’t just start looting in America. Please send me one article of earthquake looting
I can’t imagine how terrifying it must be to experience the power of these earthquakes. I hope there is minimal loss of life.
Thankfully Japan’s building codes take these into account.
Praying for the people living in the region. Head towards safety.
Hope Everyone in Japan safe.
Yes sir😂😂😂
Bless their heart ❤️
I'm gonna say this but... 🤷🏽♂️ That's the difference between there and here, in America. If that would have happened here, after that earthquake...I bet a lot of people would of been shoplifting and everything taking what they could take. Hope no one was seriously hurt.
I was thinking the same
Yup, I was thinking the same thing
People in America always think it's the end of the world and start looting its crazy. I understand for some necessity during apocalyptic times. But tvs and bags ? People I swear are a different breed.
Japan doesn't have a lot of black people and Mexicans. It's racist to say that, but it is what it is.
You can tell the buildings were built to withstand an earthquake. If that had occurred in another country, about 50,000 would have died.
Lucky they don't have cheese wall like evergrande built in China haha
Makes sense, many buildings in Florida are built to handle hurricanes, buildings in the Midwest built with tornadoes in mind, and of course northern states have buildings built with snow and blizzards in mind, which is nice
Facts in China their tofu dredge construction would be destroyed
@@txbased1752why is china mentioned here
@@SRBOMBONICA86I am only raising awareness for the Chinese folk lost behind the firewall of China who can't tell the world what they just experienced. This is all due to Chinas government hiding all tragedies for a chance to look good on the world stage. China is a mess. China is not built like America.... Literally.... You all would crumble after a few air strikes
I feel so bad for Japanese and i hope the people are okay😭😱😭😭 .
Praying for you all! God Bless! 🙏
wow that lasted a long time 😢😢. I know that scary feeling living in an active area as well. 😢😢
Amazing how long the shaking lasts
Prayers For Japan
@CookieMonster--"Look at me, people, I'm an atheist. I'm much more intelligent than everyone else."
@@user-mm5gl8fh8kLook at me I’m a virtue signaling Christian I’m sending prayers, that never work, to ppl cause I’m morally superior 😂😂
@CookieMonster-- you are in every "pray" comment answering the same BS like an atheist bot, you are doing less than nothing...
Very sad news. Pray for Japan.
And what does praying do exactly? Or you can actually help them through donation.
@@garfunkle5447 And what does your comment do for anyone? Mind your own business and move along!
@@garfunkle5447 are you helping with donations? Or just hating on Christians the very first day of 2024?
@@garfunkle5447I doubt you doing anything productive today.😂
It’s so scary to watch this. I hope everything is fine.
This is terrifying... I feel sad this is happening to Japan! 😢
We experienced a very minor earthquake in the NYC area maybe a decade ago. It was just a slight tremor, but I was sitting inside my apartment and thought I was having a dizzy spell because the floor was moving. I even heard the cement pillars grinding. It was nothing as severe as this but still let me shaken because of what could have happened.
😊😊😊😊😊
Fun fact: earthquakes on the moon can last an hour because there are no large bodies of water to help absorb the tremors. I hope nobody was injured. The japanese are brilliant and have designed buildings to handle quakes like these.
3つめ？スーパーの動画でお母さんがゆうた〜ってずっと子供のこと探してる😢
ゆうたくんの俺ここにいる！って声も入ってた😭
We need to UNITE and pray for Japan❤
In America that mall would have been looted. And more chaos would have ensued.
The quaking is so violent, especially indoors in a confined room....it just looks super overwhelming.
prayers for japan 🙏🙏🙏
🙏✝️
LOL 😂
I’m in Tokyo, and felt it. My family and I had just returned from a bike ride around the park and were just settling down to eat when our building started swaying. We live in a tall high rise, and it felt like being on ship in a rough sea, the doors were swinging open and shut, and I could see the building next to ours swaying was well. But the New Year’s earthquake was a drop in the bucket compared to the 2011 quake, which I also remember quite clearly. I was in LA for the ‘92 and ‘94 quakes, and in Oakland in ‘89. I’m pretty immune to being surprised by earthquakes by now.
Oh god help us all humans be good this year
I love you all in Japan!!❤🙏🏼
Notice how there was zero looting and people were helping each other. Japan's civil engineering speaks for itself! I hope they get through this fast. God save Japan!
Agree so beautiful
Hm, maybe because you see a different category of people doing 99% looting😂
@@user-wu2er4zd1dracist. Hush your mouth.
I pray to anyone reading this that you never have to experience an earthquake,.... The way your heart rips out of your chest is unreal. your legs turn to jelly and you know you need to move but even the air feels like you are shaking within it. These videos bring the bile to my mouth..... I hope everybody involved is safe and recovering, I am so sorry to Japan. they have already experience this before in 2009.
ขอให้สิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์ช่วยคุ้มครอง ชาวญี่ปุ่น ทุกคนปลอดภัย ด้วยครับ 🙏🇹🇭🇯🇵
Man this gave me memories of the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami. When I was living in Japan at the time. And evacuated after the warnings of the tsunami from local Japanese people of the Earthquake devastating shake.
Prayers out to all families and Japan 🇯🇵.
From US 🇺🇸.
I admire the courage to keep living in earthquake zones.
You live in one
Um. What's Japan supposed to do? Pack up the whole country and move to a mysterious nondisclosed, non discovered unoccupied land big enough for the population?
We see how well that's working for Israel right?
That's how life works for us bro
Japanese tried to escape from where they live now in WW2 by invading other Asian countries. And, they butchered tens of millions innocent civilians of other Asian countries.
@@scaryjacob5900 we have very minor shaking every few years. Nothing like Japan.
That’s terrifying.🙏🏾
What is it you don't see? LOOTING !!!!!
I was in Japan for a military exercise in the early 2000s. We experienced around an 8.0 I believe. It was extremely shocking. It felt like you moved across the room every couple of seconds. Complete powerlessness.
Also experienced some mild California earthquakes. Yet nothing compared to the typhoon/volcano eruption simultaneously in the Philippines in the 1990s. The cataclysmic event lasted a few days. It looked like midnight outside and the winds were howling and the ground shook for days. Afterwards the ash was stacked around 6 feet high all around us, and the military had evacuated us a few islands away already. We were stationed at Clark Air Force base, which was devastated and forced to close. Evacuating on so many Navy ships and helicopters was cool for a kid, but the sense of awe and terror during the main eruptions has never left me.
Nature is metal.
Wow that is crazy. I'm off to look up that typhoon/volcano eruption now
God bless you 🙏
Can you imagine how many structures are damaged ? Some will have to be torn down. Frightening
I experienced two earthquakes..one in Idaho USA and Montana USA. They are Scarey! It felt like the earth beneath my feet was going up and down and back and forth. I will never forget! 😊❤
That's because the earth beneath your feet was going up and down and back and forth.
All the love and best wishes to Japan. In many places in the US, this would lead to instant looting.
No looting. Only in Japan. Pray for Hokuriku!
Everything is so shiny and clean there.
🙏love Japan, sending prayers💕
This is why I left California. I couldn't bear the idea of spending the rest of my life sitting around waiting for the Big One to hit.
😂
So may earthquakes in 2023!
First, Istanbul, then Morocco and now we end the year with shocking quakes in Japan.😢
So sorry 😱
That first video in rhe subway station was scary.
Dear God protect those beautiful people and their pets!
There's no deity.
@bruhsusaltamash8141 I stand corrected!
wow bring me back the memory of 2011 when I was in Japan
I was in Japan when they had the Kobe quake that killed 5k people.
Buildings demolished and people ran, leaving neighbors in the rubble while expected Emergency teams to perform the rescues.
The thinkers contemplated.
Japan is building infrastructure better. People aren't running away.
Es terrorífico 😢admiro su cultura, en momentos tan dificiles saben comportarse cibilizadamente , seguro q nostros estariamos corriendo y empujando por todos lados sin ningun resentimiento de poder ayudar alas demas personas 😢.
I love the guy holding on to the railing for safety, while the giant 3000 pound sign directly above his head sways back and forth lol
My prayers to Japan...from Philippines...
I lived in japan from 96-2000. I still have nightmares from being in a 10th story apartment during earthquakes. And those were just regular tremors. I cant imagine the horror of an 8.0.
What a way to roll into the new year, I pray that the Japanese people can recover from this in a quick and timely manner.
This is why science is important. those buildings all stayed up because of research into how to build earthquake safe structures. These videos wouldn’t be possible without that
Man earthquakes are scary...I rather endure hurricanes or tornadoes than earthquakes at least you can somewhat prepare or runaway from those
I'm seriously crying at this very moment by stopping at the 0:51 mark to type while muting The Simpsons in the background as I'm viewing all the way here in Phoenix, AZ and my 29 years of breathing on this earth, I couldn't even fantasize in my autisitc brain how it feels to be in a natural disaster like this alongside engulfed by a tsunami! Seeing the 2nd. video of the parents trying to stay in place with their baby as I can hear him/her in the background struck my bony heart knowing how deadly earthquakes can be since my state doesn't go through any type of natural disasters since we're far inland and was worried that 2024 will end up being a horrific start!
It's awful enough to witness earthquakes from Eastern Turkey last February that many people's lives were lost to outside of Rabat in Morocco for example a couple months later if I recall and now this?! The earth is just trembling apart and can barely hold herself together which worries me a ton on how unbalance nature can be and how us human beings that don't have to live through these conditions take our planet for granted!
*PLEASE HANG IN THERE JAPAN!* I'm so darn upset to see how your new year has to be in trembles which makes me more blissful beside my lack of mental health to not live in these daunting conditions across the Pacific!
Mon. Jan. 1st. 2024 @ 10:00am.
That was big!
Probably don't stand under a massive sign during this.
WOW !!
Prayers prayers and prayers again for EVERYONE IN JAPAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So dangerous
