Japan Earthquake Shockwaves: Five Most Jaw-Dropping Footages of Yushu & Shikoku Disasters

last month

A powerful 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan's Kyushu island, triggering small tsunamis and raising concerns about the Nankai Trough fault line. Dramatic videos emerged showing the intense shaking of buildings, infrastructure, and grocery stores, though no major injuries were reported. Experts are closely monitoring the situation, as the Nankai Trough's activation could portend an even larger earthquake in the seismically active region.

00:00A powerful earthquake shook the southern Japanese island of Kyushu on Wednesday, triggering

00:22small tsunami waves and raising concern about the impact on region's nuclear power plants.

00:28The 6.1-magnitude quake struck off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, with epicenter located

00:33about 30 km under the sea.

00:36The quake was felt most strongly in Nichinan City and surrounding areas.

00:42Authorities reported that tsunami waves up to 50 cm in height were detected along the

00:47part of Kyushu's southern coast and the nearby island of Shikoku around 30 minutes after

00:52the initial tremor.

00:54While no immediate report of injuries or major damage were made, some broken windows were

00:58detected at the Miyazaki Airport, which is located close to the earthquake's epicenter.

01:04But the quake's intensity cannot be denied.

01:08Many shocking videos and images have emerged from Japan after the earthquake and truly

01:13it is God's grace that no major damage or casualty has occurred.

01:25As you can see in this video, a dashcam captures the intensity of shaking cars and poles during

01:31the powerful earthquake in southern Japan.

01:33The footage shows ground violently trembling with vehicles and infrastructure swaying as

01:38if the movement was rather manual than seismic.

01:42The video provides a glimpse into earthquake's devastating impact on the affected region.

01:51Another video making rounds on social media is this one.

01:54The dramatic CCTV footage shows the intensity of the earthquake in Japan as groceries and

02:00goods begin tumbling from the store shelves as if someone is forcefully pulling them out.

02:05The video captures the enormous power of the tremors with violent shaking appearing almost

02:11unnatural.

02:16This social media video captures the powerful earthquake from a window showcasing the intense

02:21trembling of a nearby mall or shopping complex.

02:25The video shows people panicking as the structure sways violently, highlighting the magnitude

02:30of the seismic event.

02:32However, the video also notes that despite the dramatic shaking, there was no report

02:36of injuries or harm to the individuals in the aftermath, suggesting the robust construction

02:41and emergency preparedness measures in place.

02:49This video captures another aspect of the earthquake as in this video you can clearly

02:53see an office cabin and studio shaking along the trees visibly shaking from the window.

02:58The video was captured by a Japanese resident and now this is showing the depth of Japan's

03:03earthquake.

03:08This video capturing the earthquake in Kagoshima, Japan is perhaps the most intense of the recent

03:13footage.

03:14It shows a multi-storey office building rocking violently back and forth as the powerful tremors

03:20hit.

03:21Yet, the dramatic sway of the structure people can be seen calmly walking by seemingly unfazed

03:26by the intense shaking.

03:29Now the experts are closely monitoring the situation as the potential activation of the

03:33Nankai can portend the possibility of an even larger and more destructive earthquake

03:38looming on the horizon.

03:40The global community remains vigilant, bracing for the potential fallout from the largest

03:45seismic event in one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions.
