Morning Earthquake Sends School Children Running for Safety
This school day was interrupted by a violent earthquake that sent students taking cover under their desks and then running for the doors. Video from the school shows students and staff rushing to get to open spaces like playgrounds and roads. It happened in China’s Szechuan Province. The quake measured 4.8 magnitudes and there have been no reported deaths or destroyed buildings, although some structures did sustain slight damage. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

Glad they ran in a sort of orderly manner. Always a good thing to be safe and use your fight or flight mode in a good way .
Very impressive that the children responded appropriately before running for the exits.
I grew up in Los Angeles. We were taught to do exactly the same thing when an earthquake hit. These kids were well trained.
The fact that all the kids went under the desks almost at the time shows really good training and fast response and reactions also the fact that literally no one took their stuff shows that they're taught that your saftey is number one... very impressive but I hope everyone is okay though
0:32 Earthquake shows 5.3 Magnitudes. Not 4.8 Magnitudes.

So, I had a mixed reaction to this. I was so glad and grateful to God that no one was injured. Seeing those kids so scared for their lives made me want to cry and then the teachers trying to be sure everyone took cover first before thinking about themselves broke my heart. The fact that the pupils knew those basic safety measures made me so so proud of them and their teachers. Then the fact that it was school-over and no more classes for that day, got me so excited and giggly for those kids.
I went through a 5.1 in the north coast of Puerto Rico around 2010-2011. Happened around 8 or 9pm. Was so scary because we lived on a 3rd floor concrete penthouse and the resonant frequencies were very deep reverberation that made your whole body shiver.

Haven’t had drills of any kind in over a year, which is unfortunate because just last week not one but two incidents of people taking part in illegal activities (never specified) near my school, never had a fire or earthquake but you’d think that and intruder drill or two would’ve happened (there was supposed to be one a few months ago but it was canceled due to some board representatives visiting and we never had one)
those kids were smart in that situation, but if it was here my teacher would've been screaming not from the quake, but from the students not lining up in an orderly fashion and silently, slowly, and appropriately walking out the door.
It's good no one was hurt. That is something we can all be grateful for.
Thank god that everyone is safe😬🙏

US earthquake scientist here. This is meant as an early warning system for further away cities. Cities in close proximity of the epicenter do not have any early warning, but as the shaking migrates away from the epicenter at approx. 2.5km/s the early warning system will be transmitting shaking levels at the speed of electricity. At a certain distance the warning will appear before the shaking. Thus giving critical time to prepare such as, halting surgery or stopping airplanes from landing.
Thank goodness no one was seriously injured. It was so sad to see those cute little kids walking out with their hands over their heads. I’m sure that they were terrified. I live in California and I remember we used to get them all the time when I was a kid and they were so much scarier for us tiny babies
Earthquake drills work. Good job kids! 👏🏻 thank God you're all safe.
This is more common then many people think. You can walk through the denver airport and have tornado and earthquake shelters. One night in my part of the world, we had an earthquake at 2am. It was the talk of the morning. We need to remember that its not the earthquake that hurts people, its the items that fall from the shake. In their city, they would have some level of preparation because of common earthquakes.

I still remember the Earthquake...of all places...in Maryland, about 11 years ago. Around 8:00 am, at my work in the mall. For some reason, I could not walk right. I kept tripping over my feet for about 15 minutes...then it all stopped. I thought something with wrong with me, that my equilibrium was off. Around 1.00 pm, on that same day. I went to the food court. As I was ordering my food I saw the menu on the wall moving. I turn to see the escalators and the columns swaying to the sound of thunder. That was when everyone looked at one another and calmly walked outside.

US earthquake scientist here. The best practice is still to go under the tables. In a shaking event it is likely debris will fall from the ceiling. There is a high statistical chance of debris falling on top of you head and causing serious injury when you're not under a study table. Drop, Cover, and Hold on.
My geography teacher actually told us what to do during an earthquake and it’s rare where I live to have an earthquake.
Those kids have clearly done earthquake drills! What a difference it makes.
