to be honest, the infrastructure allows it. Were the buildings not up to the highest maximum building codes, solidly mounted appliances and furniture and of course without the JMA Earthquake smartphone early warning, it would be a much much different story.
they don't deal with these types of things constantly, they most of the times deal with "minor" 5 or 6 richter scale earthquakes, maybe a 7 scale every year or so, but not THIS level
"As the alarm sounds, please do not play this video in public places." That's understandable. Although many Westerners don't perceive the Earthquake Early Warning sound as terrifying, many Japanese are very terrified when they hear it, particularly ever since the powerful earthquake that devastated the Tōhoku and Kantō regions of the country in 2011. In fact, I think it might actually be illegal to play the Earthquake Early Warning sound in public in Japan.
it really does sound so innocuous to us in the west but to one of my closest friends who is japanese and lived through 3.11, it is quite terrifying. without the context it sounds almost cute, but to her it reminds her of the big earthquakes she's felt back at home.
This is a scenario if all segments of the Nakai Megathrust Fault ruptured. It would be like the 1707 earthquake but a lot bigger and the tsunami would reach the shore even before the tremor subsides.
I cant even imagine the fear at the moment of the alert. Everyone shaking of terror, leaving their houses with all their stuff, and they dont even know if they are going to see them ever. People in the hospitals running away and total anarchy. I just dont even want to think of it
I am Japanese. Why do foreign people feel the chimes are soft? Japanese people find the chime very frightening; it is supposed to be a cacophonous and frightening mechanism created by NHK, the national broadcaster! (I'm using a translation system, so I apologize if my English is poor.)
"Japan's high-rise buildings will not collapse in such an earthquake" Not necessarily; building codes and standards make it so that a building's chances of collapse are as low as possible, but I've heard in an interview to an LA architect/engineer that it's "practically impossible" to absolutely gurantee structural integrity in a major enough earthquake. There are no "earthquake-proof" buildings just as there are no "bulletproof" vests, only "earthquake resistant" buildings and "bulletresistant" vests. To use a metaphor, earthquakes are like diseases, buildings are people, and building codes are vaccines; contrary to popular belief, vaccines *DO NOT* gurantee _not_ receiving a serious infection or even death from what it's meant to protect against, but significantly reduce any chances of those happening.
In Romania even a 7.0 richter earthquake would fuck us badly, can't imagine a 9.1 The worst part is that we have 0 idea when the next 7.0 will happen, the last time it happened it was 1977

The number of foreigners living in Japan has been increasing in recent years. My concern is a major earthquake like the one shown in this video. This earthquake is bound to happen within a few decades. Many Japanese are aware of this and are moving to places far from the open sea or considering evacuation routes. On the other hand, it is unclear to what extent foreigners living in Japan are prepared for earthquakes. For this reason, I respect activities such as this video that disseminate information to the English-speaking world.
On March 11th, 2011, Japan was hit by a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The earthquake, which measured a magnitudeof 9.0, struck off the northeast coast of Honshu Island, the largest island in Japan. The earthquake shook buildings, caused landslides, and triggered a massive tsunami that devastated coastal towns and cities. The wall of water reachedof 9.0, struck off the coast of eastern Japan, creating tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40 meters (131 ft) and traveled as far as 10 km (6 miles) inland. The earthquake was one of the most powerful ever recorded and caused widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure throughout the affected area. Many people were trapped in homes or offices that had collapsed during the quake, and rescue workers struggled to reach them due to the damaged roads and transport systems. The tsunami waves that followed the earthquake caused even more destruction, as they swept through towns and villages along the coast, destroying everything in their path. The cities of Sendai and Ishinomaki were hit particularly hard, with entire neighborhoods wiped out by the waves. Tragically, the earthquake and tsunami also caused a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was located near the epicenter of the earthquake. The plant's cooling system was disrupted by the earthquake, causing a series of explosions and meltdowns that released dangerous levels of radiation into the environment. The earthquake and tsunami claimed the lives of more than 15,000 people and left over 2,500 missing. It also caused billions of dollars in damage and took years for Japan to recover. Despite the devastation, the Japanese people displayed incredible resilience and community support, working together to rebuild their homes and communities and support those who had been affected by the disaster.
I'm an oceanography student in the USA who has made it my focus to educate people endangered by Pacific seismicity, so that they may stay safe in horrific scenarios such as this. Japan is incredibly resilient, and we are blessed to collaborate with their scientists and engineers so that when a major event happens on our coasts, many lives will be saved. Hearing that the Nankai Trough has an elevated risk of rupturing is frightening no matter how prepared people are, but I will do anything I possibly can to support disaster relief for all of Japan. They are brilliant and I endlessly appreciate them leading us all to be informed and prepared.
In my personal opinion an EAS alert doesn’t need to be scary sounding if the majority of the public knows what it means because just knowing that something bad is going to happen is enough to strike terror into people’s brains
It might also be useful. As I am pretty sure even for foreigners. If they or anyone hears this alarm. No one is going to ignore it. Also another thing is that earthquake alarms on your phone are automatically set to full volume.
私は韓国人です、人々は日本の地震警報システムにチャイム音が柔らかいと言いましたね。。それは柔らかいものではありません。 むしろ不安を誘発し、地震に対して早く対処させようとするためです。 I'm Korean, people told the Japanese earthquake warning system that the chime sound is soft. .. It's not soft. Rather, it induces anxiety and tries to deal with the earthquake quickly. 저는 한국인입니다. 사람들은 일본의 지진 경보 시스템에 차임 소리가 부드럽다고 말했습니다. . 그것은 부드러운 것이 아닙니다. 오히려 불안을 유발하여 지진에 대해 빨리 대처하기 위함입니다.
For me, it sounds soft at first. But the more I hear it, the scarier it sounds, especially if it occurs with a strong earthquake or another natural disaster. Sometimes, hearing a sound that you heard before with something traumatic, the sound will make you scared. It can be any sound. I live in the United States, and the warning sound we have sometimes scared me as what the sound is for is what scares me the most.
If you guys do not understand the numbers its called a Shindo Scale that goes from 1-7 1:Tiny Earthquake only few people could feel 2:Slightly cause a bit more shaking, more people could see it 3: May cause some stuff to make noise for a second 4: May Awake a person and cause items to shake (All of these can be not easy to feel except 4) (5 and 6 may be a lower or an upper - is lower and + is upper) 5-: may cause items to fall like books 5+: Heavy Furniture like shelves may fall and other stuff 6-: Difficult time standing. Wall tiles and windows may shatter 6+: Hard time standing stuff will be thrown into the air 7: Biggest level, May cause Total Destruction and there may be large cracks (Pls correct if im wrong)
Thank you for the detailed explanation. The seismic intensity scale in Japan is on a 10-point scale, from 0 to 7. Please see the Japan Meteorological Agency website for more precise details. www-jma-go-jp.translate.goog/jma/kishou/know/shindo/kaisetsu.html?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ja&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Japan is situated in a region with highly active seismic activity, having faced numerous large-scale earthquakes in its history. Notably, along the Nankai Trough, there have been several historical instances of massive earthquakes, with future significant seismic events anticipated. Historical earthquakes, such as the 1707 Hoei earthquake, the 1854 Ansei Tokai and Ansei Nankai earthquakes, and the 1944 Showa Tonankai and 1946 Showa Nankai earthquakes, have occurred, sometimes in conjunction. These earthquakes, known as the Tokai, Tonankai, and Nankai earthquakes, have the potential to happen individually or simultaneously. Scientists study the epicentral regions and patterns of these earthquakes to predict future seismic activity, but accurately forecasting earthquakes remains challenging with current technology. However, learning from these past events and advancing disaster prevention and preparedness is crucial for addressing potential future massive earthquakes. In simple terms, massive earthquakes like the Great East Japan Earthquake are highly probable to occur again in Japan, especially along the Nankai Trough. Research into past earthquakes is essential for earthquake prediction and preparation, serving as a key to mitigating damage. Additionally, according to estimates by the Cabinet Office: Human casualties: - Deaths: Up to approximately 32,000 - Injuries: Up to approximately 282,000 - Evacuees: Up to approximately 5.7 million Building damage: - Complete destruction: Up to approximately 960,000 buildings - Major damage: Up to approximately 2.1 million buildings - Partial damage: Up to approximately 6.6 million buildings Fire damage: - Burned buildings: Up to approximately 27,000 - Burned area: Up to approximately 24 km² Lifeline damage: - Water outage: Up to approximately 16 million people - Power outage: Up to approximately 10 million people - Gas supply stoppage: Up to approximately 3 million people Economic damage: - Direct damage: Up to approximately 43 trillion yen - Indirect damage: Up to approximately 57 trillion yen - Total: Up to approximately 100 trillion yen Other damages: - Landslides: Approximately 1,600 locations - Damage to transportation facilities: Railways, roads, ports, etc., disrupted - Damage to agriculture, forestry, and fisheries: Approximately 2 trillion yen - Cultural property damage: Several thousand cases Separately, a significant direct earthquake beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area is also anticipated. Let's all survive this together!
It is estimated to be up to $ 13 trillion. www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO31479100X00C18A6MM0000/ This assumption does not include the damage caused by the nuclear accident and eruption.
I heard somewhere that it was made to be heard in loud areas If walls and ceilings collapse, objects fall and people scream, alerts like Americas would not be heard loudly. Japan pleasent alarm can also be heard in loud areas
The buildings in Japan remind me of the World Trade Centers in Newyork USA, The architects designed them to sway in the wind similar to how the Japanese engineer buildings To sway during an earthquake to avoid collapse from the stress on the metal beams!
The fact that this could occur within the next week... Oh my gosh this is terrifying. We live in Fukuoka which is a bit away but still... I got major chills watching this... but we need to be prepared.
There is no place in Japan where earthquakes do not occur. Basically, there are various places where there are expected to be distortions that will result in major earthquakes. Besides, the earthquake that occurred yesterday in Miyazaki Prefecture with a maximum intensity of just under 6 on the Japanese seismic scale increased the relative probability of this Nankai Trough earthquake occurring. It is a hot topic in Japan at the moment.
@@ほう-l6z Right. Now the Japanese are on high alert, and considering that another one occurred in Kanagawa, they are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best
@@NoSurprize1985Buildings made after 1981 are built with earthquake resistance made to withstand strong earthquakes, so it may reassure you to stay in such a residence. Also, in the case of 2011, the tsunami was responsible for a majority of the casualties. If you are worried, I would stay away from the tsunami hazard zones, and if you are within them, keep in mind the closest route to high ground and how long it would take to get there! There are very unpredictable elements to these disasters, but this information will give you the best chances if they strike.
Well, I live in korea(suwon, South Korea). And I think it'll definitly reach it. But don't think it will feel that severely and make it up to our capital, Seoul. I haven't felt any earthquake since I was born. Even at 2011, We didn't even noticed the quake until we arrived from workspace and turned on the TV.
100%, similar to the intensity of a 6.0-6.5 magnitude, atleast around Busan. South Gyeonsangs buildings won't be prepared, especially pre 1980's structures. While geographically protected from major tsunami activity, masonry damage would cause inevitable fatalities.
do you have the sources for the like 4 types of emergency wake-up signals? I know the EES and the tsunami one but what about the others (mobile tsunami warning, public emergency broadcast, etc)
Everything is affected with these 5 Earthquakes across Japan, also Tsunami I saw one of these emergency alerts in the TV and in my phone I heard some sirens go off to evacuate people The P-waves arrived shortly before the S-waves After that, the S-waves arrived, we went under tha table We were safe, no damages on our house Me and the rest of my family evacuated We went upstairs on the top of any tall buildings There were more emergency alerts I was scared, almost having a heart attack It was more deadly than: 2008 Earthquake, 2011 Earthquake, etc. After the Earthquake AND the tsunami were gone We went back home, everything was safe And uhhhh.........., we packed everything we had Just before the 3/20/21 earthquake happened
No place is safe from the Nankai Trough in Kyushu and Chubu, an earthquake directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area in Kanto, aftershocks from the 3.11 earthquake in Tohoku, and a major earthquake in Hokkaido. By Japanese
this hits way too close to home, having family from these places bc if it hits kansai and p much all of western japan to this extent, the rest of southern japan might as well be done for :( i feel so bad for those who live in constant fear of this happening because for them too rn
Due to the earthquake in Turkey 🇹🇷 and parts of Syria 🇸🇾 it caused the buildings to collapse and over 40,000 people have died Most rescuers would find people if they survived all buildings even after the earthquake stopped the buildings would still collapse and that wasn’t until the second earthquake came an hour later this was the most deadliest earthquake in the world with a magnitude of 7.9
In 1923 in Japan, an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 devastated Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures, killing 105,000 people. Also, the quake in this video is M9.1, which has 63 times more energy than M7.9, and the estimated death toll exceeds 320,000. However, if a nuclear accident or a volcano erupts, the number of casualties will increase.
me before: japan is cool! I like the stuff there i wish i could travel to japan someday 😃 me now: THEY ARE PRONE TO EARTHQUAKES?? NO I DONT WANNA GO THERE ANYMORE 😭😭
It is a real earthquake. It's not a matter of if it will happen, but when will it happen that's the scary part. It could happen at any time morning afternoon or night. Could even happen in the middle of the night a few days from now a few weeks from now a few months from now a few years from now or a few decades.

"Japan's high-rise buildings will not collapse in such an earthquake"
Not necessarily; building codes and standards make it so that a building's chances of collapse are as low as possible, but I've heard in an interview to an LA architect/engineer that it's "practically impossible" to absolutely gurantee structural integrity in a major enough earthquake. There are no "earthquake-proof" buildings just as there are no "bulletproof" vests, only "earthquake resistant" buildings and "bulletresistant" vests.

Actually the estimated strongest possible earthquake will not make buildings, with highest earthquake standards collapse.
yes, the chances of collapsing are low, but never zero
これは、あくまで予想です。
これよりも大きくなるかもしれませんし、小さくなるかもしれません。

@@NoSurprize1985Buildings made after 1981 are built with earthquake resistance made to withstand strong earthquakes, so it may reassure you to stay in such a residence. Also, in the case of 2011, the tsunami was responsible for a majority of the casualties. If you are worried, I would stay away from the tsunami hazard zones, and if you are within them, keep in mind the closest route to high ground and how long it would take to get there! There are very unpredictable elements to these disasters, but this information will give you the best chances if they strike.
やあ、日本人です。この動画の地震で一番安全な県は北海道ですね、西日本には少なくとも今月中は行かない方がいいでしょう。今週中にこの地震が起きる確率は0,5%です。非常に少ない確率だと思ったかもしれませんが、地震科学の視点から見るとかなり大きな確率です。まあ、今月中には起きないと思うけどね、、、
大災害は忘れた頃にやってくる😢
oh god the way Osaka was moving 2:27
南海トラフ巨大地震が起こらないことを心から願ってます。
GPS観測で日本の大地は動き続けているのが観測されていますので、ひずみエネルギーがたまり続けているのがわかっています。
割り箸に力を加え続ければいつか必ず折れるのと同じで、この地震も必ず来ますが、地球内部が冷えてきたらこのような巨大地震はなくなるかもしれないそうです。
それまで数十億年かかると思いますが...
何事も、備えあれば憂いなし、ですね。
今から準備して、皆で生き残りましょう！！
@user-hj6ix5lw9bSadly you are correct.
地震をほとんど経験しないために東京に旅行するとき、それが起こらないことを願っています。
みんな生きてくれ
if I hear this in Japan that will freak me out
I appreciate this being put in English. I was curious to learn about this.
Holy shit I’m actually scared now I know how Japanese people feel after this it’s so traumatic
Wonder if Korea feel the quake?
@@ok-lg2yf :o
Well, I live in korea(suwon, South Korea). And I think it'll definitly reach it. But don't think it will feel that severely and make it up to our capital, Seoul. I haven't felt any earthquake since I was born. Even at 2011, We didn't even noticed the quake until we arrived from workspace and turned on the TV.
@@ok-lg2yf One person in 2011 died in California from the tsunami
I think Busan will be damaged..
100%, similar to the intensity of a 6.0-6.5 magnitude, atleast around Busan. South Gyeonsangs buildings won't be prepared, especially pre 1980's structures. While geographically protected from major tsunami activity, masonry damage would cause inevitable fatalities.
do you have the sources for the like 4 types of emergency wake-up signals? I know the EES and the tsunami one but what about the others (mobile tsunami warning, public emergency broadcast, etc)
i do
I always feel so sorry for Japan because of these natural disasters..
みなさん、気をつけてください 🙏🏼
So is this something that could happen and is theorised? Or is this just hypothetical?
40年以内に100%起こります。
本当ですか（笑）？そうならないことを願っています！@@514_Konsuireipu_tadokoro_kouzi
Everything is affected with these 5 Earthquakes across Japan, also Tsunami
I saw one of these emergency alerts in the TV and in my phone
I heard some sirens go off to evacuate people
The P-waves arrived shortly before the S-waves
After that, the S-waves arrived, we went under tha table
We were safe, no damages on our house
Me and the rest of my family evacuated
We went upstairs on the top of any tall buildings
There were more emergency alerts
I was scared, almost having a heart attack
It was more deadly than: 2008 Earthquake, 2011 Earthquake, etc.
After the Earthquake AND the tsunami were gone
We went back home, everything was safe
And uhhhh.........., we packed everything we had
Just before the 3/20/21 earthquake happened
0:07.3 Earthquake early warning issued #1 by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)
0:22 Earthquake Early Warning issued #2
Tokyo and Osaka city has a earthquake
Hı, how did you created this scenario?
It's not a scenario, this could happen.
@@chrisalvarez7768 scenario means possible.
imagine your living in japan, seeing this video with headphones on, and when you take your headphones off it still continues :o
怖いことを言わないでください😂
The freaking earthquake went all the way to South Korea💀
North Korea would also feel some shaking
Where would be the safest place to live in Japan during an earthquake of this magnitude, or earthquakes in general
tall building away from costal areas.
all japanese prefectures are prone to getting earthquakes
No place is safe from the Nankai Trough in Kyushu and Chubu, an earthquake directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area in Kanto, aftershocks from the 3.11 earthquake in Tohoku, and a major earthquake in Hokkaido.
By Japanese
少なくとも南海トラフ地震が起きた場合には北海道が一番実害は少なく安全です。
ただ、この地震により東京•大阪等の都市は壊滅的になると予想されるので物資は大幅に遅れます。
また、災害に乗じた諸外国の動きも怖いですね..。
How it on American/Europian/Russian Scales explain me please. i don't know Japanese Meteorogical agency scales.
this hits way too close to home, having family from these places bc if it hits kansai and p much all of western japan to this extent, the rest of southern japan might as well be done for :( i feel so bad for those who live in constant fear of this happening because for them too rn
SCARY 🥶
일본이 gdp3위인게 대단함.. 저렇게 큰지진도 10년에 1번꼴로 오는듯하고 작은 지진도 그리 자주일어나는데
Em meio a tantos terremotos, pra onde fugir?
how did you find this?
2:25 消えてしまうのが怖い
Fun fact: Mw means magnitude
The seismograph shown here is very similar to that of the M 9.1 Great East Japan Earthquake
that alarm actually scared me, even though im in america
Oh god
2:07
MOMMY IM SCARED, PLS PICK ME UPPPPP!!!!! Seriously tho that made me scared of Japan. I also heard lots of glass breaking.
Due to the earthquake in Turkey 🇹🇷 and parts of Syria 🇸🇾 it caused the buildings to collapse and over 40,000 people have died Most rescuers would find people if they survived all buildings even after the earthquake stopped the buildings would still collapse and that wasn’t until the second earthquake came an hour later this was the most deadliest earthquake in the world with a magnitude of 7.9
Yeah but we're not in turkey earthquake video
In 1923 in Japan, an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 devastated Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures, killing 105,000 people.
Also, the quake in this video is M9.1, which has 63 times more energy than M7.9, and the estimated death toll exceeds 320,000.
However, if a nuclear accident or a volcano erupts, the number of casualties will increase.
@@KennedylineDC-3 I know, but I want to hope that the TH-camr knows about this.
@@hakoniwatrain I never knew about this.
Ik in california and this is giving me goosebumps. Guess thats the cons of living near 4 plates
hiroshima already had many problembs...and japan has so many earthquakes god bless the Japanese people
さっきの地震速報びっくりしたわ
石川無事らしくてよかった
地震の早期警報は、日本のすべての地震で始発しています。地震早期警報システムを持つ他の国：台湾と中国
I'm a foreigner, but the earthquake early warning sound scares me
Oh my gosh
At the 2:03 Earthquake Early Warning Issued #4 is very shaking
0:35 These are the EAS alarms of Japan! Heard of these sounds!
That is the EEW sound Japan doesn't have a EAS system like the US and Canada
Why Shinjuku During Earthquake?
0:34 Real
本当に気をつけないとだめです。
これ南海トラフの最悪のパターンなんやろやあ...
Japan: WARNING! EARTHQUAKE IS COMING!
PLEASE SURVIVE!
Wow, Japan has major problems with earthquakes.
Glad they know how to deal with it.
Esto está basado hechos reales??????
Si no es una cuestión de si esto va a pasar la cuestión es cuando va a pasar
Japón en 2011
th-cam.com/video/ErqM10AXkOQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm scared beacuse is earthquake
I need Your Glass Sound Effects Like Shindo 7
If this happend in Türkiye casualities wouldve been like minimum 10 or 20 million deaths
I wonder what caused it
nankai trough tectonic plates collapse
me before: japan is cool! I like the stuff there i wish i could travel to japan someday 😃
me now: THEY ARE PRONE TO EARTHQUAKES?? NO I DONT WANNA GO THERE ANYMORE 😭😭
5 huge earthquakes, thats insane
私の住むところは震度7か
生まれてから震度1しか体験したことないのに笑
I’m scared of this earthquake because it’s so hard to tell if it’s real.
It is a real earthquake. It's not a matter of if it will happen, but when will it happen that's the scary part. It could happen at any time morning afternoon or night. Could even happen in the middle of the night a few days from now a few weeks from now a few months from now a few years from now or a few decades.
4:17
Sheesh the second wave was crazy
but i like when every countries helping japan😊❤
The stong earthquake is in 2:05
on oh
Omg I remember being in there...(in a vacation)
This is scary
日本に住んでいる外国人に役立ますね！
Even the safe cities that aren't effected that much by past earthquakes are not safe with this.
I'm afraid but it's fucked. Real fucked.
Bro the image shaking gives me nightmares
I will never go to Japan im scared now 😨
