I experienced a 7.4 earthquake in Japan once. Scariest sh’t ever. It’s not even the ground shaking and you can hold onto nothing as you’re thrown around like a rag doll that is the most terrifying. it’s the sound that the ground is making that gives the whole moment a very surreal touch. It sounds like an angry giant bull that is charging at you. Deep and rumbling. Makes you feel powerless and terrified like a little ant in between the fingers of a human who has the intention of crushing you. Nature is as terrible as it is beautiful.

they are not bolted to the floor in most cases imo. think about how often stores do a remodel or rearrange things. when they remodeled the store i worked at they basically got a little jack thing and some sliders and lifted the whole thing up and just slid the shelves around, product on it and everything. so in this scenario if they are bolted then maybe it would stay. but if not it would genuinely topple over very quickly imo. it's generally just some thin metal baseplates set on the floor to start, with a metal framework on either side of each section for the shelves that hold the product and pegboard slid between the frame. we had a car run through the front of the store once and it just moved the shelf with ease. an earthquake would definitely have them domino'ing all over. maybe not every store is like that but they all generally look the same to me everywhere i go

I feel like it’s important to mention, especially for those who don’t know, in earthquake prone areas, buildings are made to be able to sway a bit with the earthquake, so the building swaying as the earthquake is happening is actually normal and realistic in the simulation.

This simulation does a great job at showing the level of movement experienced while inside a building but I hope the viewers don't take the damage shown at face value. In real life, the strain on the building's pillars, especially in larger buildings will cause the building to collapse way earlier than shown in the building, crushing everything underneath. Earthquakes are one of the most terrifying phenomenons to be caught unprepared for.

Costco or Walmart probably run by T-Rexes in the Cretaceous period. Wonder did they pay three fiddy for their groceries. They probably put Trceratops and head of security against the Velociraptors..........

IMO, the reason the shelving units did so well in this simulation is because they're short - only 3 shelves - so their center of gravity is closer to the ground. If the simulation showed full-sized units that you would actually see in stories (or the giants in Costco), the shelves would have toppled over sooner because their center of gravity is higher up.

Most earthquakes ive experienced is 5-6 above that is a rare phenomenon i think

Labeling each level with what percentage of G it was was so helpful, I have never before had a way of picturing what types of forces were involved in an earthquake. However I have fallen off a chair before! So I am fairly familiar with what, say, 80% of that acceleration would feel like. Also, apparently buildings are not constructed to be moved faster than the speed of gravity, they just shred at 1.5g+ . The simulation of chicxulub was unexpected but so cool, I have not had any kind of reference frame for that, and given that the building seems to cave in instantly, the catastrophic forces involved seem to overtop even this simulation

Fun fact: depending on where they are standing, most people usually don't notice when it's a 5th grade and below. It's a 6th grade and above when things start falling off. We had an 8.1 here in Mexico and and the building I was at it felt like how the 6th degree was depicted here, stuff thumbling everywhere and doors swinging back and forth. But some people who were in poorly constructed buildings experienced it like the 11 degree one. The way it feels/looks is very relative

it also depends on how close to surface, if earthquake is small but more close than 10 km, people usually feel it, even it's below 5. those ones are usually short, giving a feeling like someone kicked the floor below or you're having dizziness. I also live in an earthquake prone area and buildings are usually not strong.

I was 15 years old when experienced the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile, 2010. It was 3:34 am and it started very slowly, and then was it was getting faster and stronger, exponientally. I remember seeing the streets with all the cars bouncing up and down, side to side, the light poles were literally dancing. I was really shocked, couldn't say a word, only living the moment (and hearing my mom's screams, lol).

When I was a freshman engineering student in college, we were touring one of the facilities with an earthquake simulator lab. I was the only California kid in the whole group and the looks on everyone else’s faces when the professor explained - with an erector set model and a machine - that California buildings intentionally sway back and forth for earthquakes. And the students didn’t believe me when I told them we mostly ignore and/or don’t notice and/or sleep through anything under about a 5.

It's at least somewhat reassuring that the simulated structure here is made to look like a modern building with proper up to code standards. What is really sad are older buildings constructed before this time or areas where any quake magnitude isn't prepared for it! Im a native Californian and I'm pretty "used to" them and I have a reflex in situations to know which ones are the kind to get concerned about over the minor ones!

As a person who lives in a very active earthquake zone, smaller objects began to fall off in a 6, is more safer stay in your place that go out fast, in a 7 you still safe inside because of the possibility of fallen windows (is hard to happen)

I just had a minor earthquake in my homestate Connecticut. My mom told me about & I was surprised & shocked.😮

This is very good! I grew up in California. Most earthquakes growing up were like a 3-4 not enough to damage, just enough to shake everything off the shelves and scare the ish out of you lol. Property damage doesn't really start until 6, from there on its gets pretty hellish. I think the simulation understated the 9 ans 10 though. You have whole buildings falling apart at that point. I was around for the Northridge earthquake, that thing was a monster and I think it was an 8 😬

I do believe it was a 6.7. I remember the Ridgecrest earthquakes, pretty recent, only 2019. Big quake was 7.1 and caused surprisingly little damage.

Each magnitude up is an exponential climb That's why anything above 9 is remarkably rare, because to go beyond that is a huge leap from even the strongest "currently" known quakes. Nice work with the simulation btw! That's pretty close to footage I've seen of such seismic breaks. You use Bullet Constraints Builder?

Yes, says in their description they used BCB

It's so amazing how with each increment on the MMI, the ground peak acceleration rises exponentially greater than the previous. Just when you see it's only at the fifth level of the scale and it's getting intense, that's nothing yet until you reach the maximum level.

Today, April 5th, 2024, at 10:20 am 4.7/8 was felt in NJ

I’m disappointed but also impressed that the shelves never once tipped over. I waited the whole vid and the entire building collapsed before a single shelf tipped

Always an unsettling sight. Anything above the middle of the chart I was feeling scared to watch. Then there was the vertical (bounce) movement, which I didn't account for. That is terrifying. The other thing to think about too, is when you start getting quakes above 6.0, they start lasting a long time. So when you have something like an 8.0 it will seem like the violent shaking won't stop. Chile when they experienced a 9.0, the shaking lasted 10 minutes. I can not even comprehend that. I would probably lose my mind.

Concerning your point about large quakes lasting a long time, it's not completely true. It ultimately depends on the type of fault which the quake occurs on. Subduction faults, which cause the massive quakes like in Japan and Chile, tend to cause quakes upwards of high 7s to low 9s due to the amount of force needed to shove one plate under another and it takes a while for the upper plate to settle back into place. Slip strike faults have quakes up to the low 8s which, while causing a lot of damage, don't tend to last that long as there is less pressure needed to move two plates side by side. For example, the 1989 Loma Prieta quake mag 6.9, only lasted about 15 seconds. And LA's Northridge quake mag 6.7, only lasted a max 20 seconds. The hard shaking for these quakes is over pretty fast. It just feels like an eternity when you're experiencing one. If you ever get a chance to visit a natural history or science museum that has a shake room, go try it out. It's pretty fun and you get to experience what various quake levels are like. Disclaimer: I've lived in CA for longer than I'll admit and have experienced three major quakes (Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Hector Mine). After you go through one of these big quakes, quakes overall stop being scary and you find anything less than a mid-5 boring.

I live in Costa Rica - we have earthquakes all the time - usually 4s or 5s. You get used to them. But we've had a couple above 7. Those are not fun. Not fun at all. The worst part is that it can start off feeling like a regular minor quake but then suddenly it gets real violent.

@AnaMert1

Жыл бұрын

Also the closer to the epicenter you are the shorter the earthquake actually is. It is stronger and more violent at the epicenter but it relatively short lasting (unless there are after-quakes). As the wave moves it's strength decreases and changes (less shaking, more waving - it feels like you are on a ship on a sea) but lasts longer because each of the high frequency wave turns into a wave with lover frequency, moving slowly though the ground over many kms, one wave after another till the waves weaken enough to not be felt anymore. Look how seismographs look near epicenter (short lasting but high lines) and how they look many kms away (shorter lines but spread over a longer period of time). I don't know about the "Chile when they experienced a 9.0, the shaking lasted 10 minutes" but it's possible the 9.0 quake was short lasting but people a few kms away could experience a level 7 earthquake (which is also quite damaging) that lasted 10 minutes. And the media simply combined those two information, making "a 9.0 earthquake last for 10 minutes".

​@@AnaMert1 Valdivia 1960's earthquake lasted about 10 minutes. It was 9.5 Mw, and released 20% of all seismic energy of the 20th century during those 10 minutes. Also this quake, and most megathrust earthquakes have faulting over hundreds of kilometers... That's why these shakemaps have elongated forms... (1960's earthquake for example) earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/official19600522191120_30/map For the Valdivia earthquake about 1.000 Km of a tectonic plate moved several meters under the other, it's not just a point moving. (although it has to start moving somewhere, so there's an epicenter, but after that the faulting propagates and then there's a whole line of faulting). To try and paint the picture... After this kind of quakes, if you GPS your house you'd find it moved up to several meters in some direction, it's not just shaking...

This was an awesome computer simulation, thanks! My dog fell a small one that happened a couple hundred miles away, in Virginia, around a decade ago. I was sitting on my back porch reading and he suddenly got up from where he was napping and went to the door and looked at me like "should we go inside? What just happened?" When he saw I didn't budge he laid back down. About half an hour later my mom called and asked if I had felt it, a few people did in our city but you had to be in exactly the right place, and I wasn't. I presume these are all supposed to be at the store is at the epicenter? It's amazing how they go up and intensity so much. Also to think what it must be like for people who are not in well-constructed buildings like this simulation store was.

Thank you so much for saying that!

I m addicted to this videos. And the music, thanks for that too.

This is eye opening! As a grocery clerk… my old, decrepit store is not designed as sturdily as this, and would most definitely not survive past 10. The ceiling tiles would fall before 5, the pipes would snap and the shelves would collapse at 8 if we were lucky… and the building would succumb soon after. My advice, know your emergency exits and protect your head. Run out of the aisles- especially those with large bags of product and canned goods, run away from the coolers with glass doors, and watch out for the hanging/falling signs. If you have to go through a back room, be especially wary of rolling carts, stacked pallets, and falling items. If you make it outside, watch out for falling signs and pieces of the building.

Very impressed with those shelves, even the roof folded before they even tipped over 😂

Kia ora. I'm from Christchurch, N.Z., which on 22 February 2011 attained for a few weeks until the Japan earthquake, the dubious honour of having the strongest ground motion recorded in an earthquake. In this case it was an aftershock of the 04 September 2010 Canterbury earthquake. Shaking intensities on 22 February 2011 at the epicentre near the port town of Lyttelton were MMIX, possibly MMX. There was vertical motion almost as strong as the horizontal motion with - although it was later downgraded to about 1.5g - 2.2g being recorded at Redcliffs Primary School very near the epicentre which was thought to have had shaking intensities between MMIX and MMX. This is a good video and well done on making it. Based on what people have told me, I'd like to add a few comments here that are hopefully useful should you make future videos. So: 1) People in Lyttelton reported fridges and freezer units in the local supermarket walking and bouncing; large items such as microwaves and televisions were physically flung from whatever they sat on. 2) I was in a five story building on the 4th floor about 12km from the epicentre. Peak Ground Acceleration was about 0.8; the lifts failed, book shelves emptied and large things like microwaves in the staff cafeteria bodily moved. 3) Big basaltic cliffs (part of an extinct volcano) around Redcliffs, Sumner and Scarborough lost metres of frontage from rock falls - houses that were 10 metres from the cliff's were now only a couple of metre and had to be abandoned; ones on the cliff face were demolished. You can probably find more about the peak ground acceleration in Christchurch pretty easily on Google. Cheers!

Cameraman did a good job surviving all the earthquakes.

The sign in the back of the store, Earthquake Cafe, reminded me of a hands-on exhibit that was (maybe still is?) at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh that was also named Earthquake Cafe (or something similar. It's been a couple decades since I was last there). It was a motion simulator with a little cafe table inside that you could sit at. You then chose from a menu of earthquakes (with different intensities) to experience, and the simulator shook with the intensity of that quake. It was probably designed like this video, with the idea of showing you how different earthquakes could be, but I'm pretty sure every kid just went in and picked the most intense earthquake, which was the massive quake that hit Chile in the 70s.

I think it depends more on the type of construction, in Chile and Japan they have excellent constructions. In the M8.8 earthquake in Chile (2010), collapsed buildings were one-off events and in the M9.1 earthquake in Japan (2011), there were no collapsed buildings. Both the earthquake in Chile and Japan reached maximum intensity between VIII to IX on the Mercalli scale. Greetings from south-central Chile. 🇨🇱

I’d be very curious to see what this would look like with more accurate models for the cans. Since cans are designed to slightly nestle into each other, I would think they’d do a significantly better job staying stacked irl than they do in this sim.

Can we appreciate how the structure of the market could resist multiple earthquakes?? Props to the engineers!

I’ve only experienced a 5 on that scale so to see beyond that was terrifying. And that’s just my experience in MD when the catalyst was in VA!

My brain just got very, very slow then, I couldn't control my actions, and my subconsciousness invented some stupid excuse for the shaking. It's disappointing, actually. 😆 Must be some kind of ptsd, I guess, as back in 1992 my family found me with my eyes wide open, paralized, not responding or reacting to them.

As someone who lives in an earthquake-prone country, I can tell you that the safest place to be in the event of an earthquake is outside rather than inside a building. This is because if a building collapses and blocks the entrance and exit, it will be difficult to evacuate to another safe place, and if you are in a coastal area, there is a risk of secondary disasters such as tsunami, which will also make it difficult to escape.
