Making this 3D model and running the simulations took me a week of constant work. The BEST thing you can do for me is to watch this video for as long as possible without skipping ahead. This will make TH-cam recommend this video to more people. Let's spread more earthquake awareness around the world, together! :)
I am a citizen of Fukushima Prefecture who experienced M9.0. At the time, I lived in a 40-year-old house. All the family members survived, except that the tiles in the bathroom were slightly peeled off (there is almost no damage to this day). If you live in a country that experiences many earthquakes, please invest in just making sure your house is earthquake resistant.
It is significant to note the 9.1 earthquake on 3/11/2011 occurred 45 miles off the coast east of Honshu. The energy level experienced in Fukushima Prefecture was approximately 6.0-6.5. It was the resulting tsunami which caused most of the deaths & destruction in the area along the coast.
It really depends on the infrastructure and how strong it was built to withstand a larger tremor. Japan is probably the best in the world for building nearly "quake proof" buildings. So a 7.5-8 scale quake for them might not be anything. However for folks here in the U.S. that isn't set up that way. Something as minor as a 6.5-7 scale quake could cause massive damage.
Enjoyed the sound effects in this video. I experienced an earthquake in Oregon in 1993 (5.6 magnitude and perceived intensity of VII on the Mercalli scale) and the thing I remember the most (beside the fear) was the NOISE! When the quake hit our house I swore a train had somehow hit us - and it was very noisy throughout, even though our home sustained no damage. I'd love an increase of the noise effects on these vids, which makes them much more real to my mind. Thanks for all you do.
Went thru a minor earthquake in Toronto in 1998 or 99. I was in north Toronto, the quake was in Barrie 70km north. It was like a street car driving by an old shop on Queen St. but no street cars in that part of Toronto.
On February 6, there were 2 earthquakes in Turkey within 24 hours. The first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.7, a depth of 8.6 km and 65 seconds; The second earthquake had a magnitude of 7.6, a depth of 7 km and an impact duration of 45 seconds. It was felt in 11 cities. More than fifty thousand people died.
for those who don't know how the magnitude scale works: higher magnitudes mean stronger earthquakes, scaling exponentially. a magnitude 2 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 1 and mag 3 is 10x stronger than mag 2 and so on. this eventually leads to a magnitude 7 earthquake which is 1 million times stronger than a magnitude 1 earthquake
Actualy you are wrong. Each 0.2 magnitude higher quake is 2 times stronger. So mag 2 is 32 times stronger than 1, 3 is 32 times stronger than 2 and so on, se between mag 1 and mag 3 you have 1024 times stronger quake so mag 7 is over 1 BILLION times stronger than mag 1
@@peterhuang1431 taken from Illinois emergency management Earthquake Magnitude For many years, the Richter Scale was the most common and familiar earthquake magnitude scale, but as recording instruments have become increasingly sophisticated, more accurate calculations have evolved to determine magnitude. Today, the Richter Scale is seldom used, and scientists prefer to designate any given earthquake with just the word "magnitude," which can represent a number of different scales used in the calculation process. There are two important things to remember about earthquake magnitude: The size of an earthquake increases by a factor of 10 as magnitude increases by one whole number. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake, then, is 10 times larger than a 5.0; a magnitude 7.0 is 100 times larger, and a magnitude 8.0 is 1,000 times larger than a 5.0. The amount of energy released, however, increases by a factor of about 32. Looking at the same magnitudes, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0; a 7.0 releases about 1,000 times more energy, and a magnitude 8.0 releases about 32,000 times more energy than a 5.0. It is easy to see why magnitude 7.0 and 8.0 earthquakes cause such widespread damage and destruction. From those numbers it can also be observed that even though a fault may produce a lot of small earthquakes, a larger one won't be prevented.Scientists have also learned that the New Madrid fault system may not be the only fault system in the Central U.S. capable of producing damaging earthquakes. The Wabash Valley fault system in Illinois and Indiana shows evidence of large earthquakes in its geologic history, and there may be other, as yet unidentified, faults that could produce strong earthquakes.
I transposed the video to my viewing equipment, so I could slow it down and focus on each perspective. You have opened up an area of study I have often thought about and have come to the conclusion that only a few specialists would actually see and know how to deal with.I have studied earthquakes for years, although I'm a documentary researcher,with a history degree.You have given me much to learn.Keep it up I'm with you in this endeavor
I experienced a M9.0 earthquake in 2011, and even though I was 400 km away from the epicenter, the large tremors lasted for more than 6 minutes. It is hard to imagine how violent the shaking must have been at the nearest location.
@@tariimrekrisztian1880you know it’s not hard to look up 2011 9.0 earthquake and if you were around in 2011 you should know about what happened in Japan because it was all over the news worldwide especially countries that borders the pacific due to the tsunami alerts
Of course, there are other factors at work - especially soil type and construction methods as well as distance from epicenter - that greatly determine the probability of damage at various magnitudes. One of the things most people probably have yet to experience is the rolling motion (like waves) the shaking can produce during particularly strong earthquakes. If hovering above the ground, one could actually see the waves pulsate across the land.
That's right, I am 23 years old and I have lived here in CDMX, the capital of Mexico, all my life, and precisely in the earthquake that I experienced in 2017 with a magnitude of 7.5 and with an epicenter very close to the city, it is as if there were There was 8.5 but it wasn't like that. Just that, it was also oscillatory and frenetic. The big difference is that the oscillatory rocks you in a circular manner and the trepidatory raises and lowers the ground. I remember how the street where I lived went up and down and in the distance I saw that wave, something unreal and very terrifying to see how the buildings, mostly apartments, creaked and went up and down while the seismic sirens sounded, it was a disaster.
I saw that twice in SFO: once on ground floor in a very large, low ceilinged room (library reading area). The carpet and ceiling tile framework _rippled_ together. Like…maybe four waves went through and each time it threw me flatter. The second was a 4th floor office. The entire room twisted, then reversed the motion. That was FREAKY. There were concrete pillars all over the room and it was insane watching them bow.
yeah, it's why I know as a very small creator this person is trying their best to put out content, but at the same time, he's sacrificing accuracy for speed. It's clear something like Blender was used, as when the 6.5 quake hits, the skyscrapers' supporting structures just fall out. It's not just what you said - I agree wholeheartedly (as well as recognizing that today's buildings in viral quake centers are designed to withstand impactful quakes) - but this content is subpar.
Not just that, but the duration of the shaking is a major effect. This simulation only shows seconds of shaking, but many last for minutes or even more. The sustained length of shaking is one of the biggest reasons for damage.
I'm from Chile and I experienced the 2010 earthquake (27F) IX: I was 21 and it was at night and at first it was all noise, a rumble like a huge truck but very deep and low, and suddenly everything start to move slow and I was like "ok, this is something" and then the movement turns more and more high. My mom was looking to my little sister and was talking to her to calm down (mom lived the 1985 Algarrobo VIII-IX earthquake), so I try to ran to see my grandma (who lived the 1960 Valdivia XII earthquake) but I can barely walk and fall over my knees. She was laying in her bed praying, so I try to calm her down. I watched through the window outside and it was surreal: the houses and the electric poles moves just like the ground become fluid, forming waves. When the earthquake faded out, we talk a little bit and see if everything was ok, some neightbours come to see us and then grandma say "I don't know, but I'm tired, goodnight" and everyone go back to sleep. Yes, sleep, even with the aftershocks of V, VI or VII... Eartquakes here in Chile are now something so common that people barely get worried by. We even get a coctail called earthquake "Terremoto" (white wine, grenadine and pinneaple icecream).
Unbelievable! This is fascinating: the scale of this simulation is enormous. The channel has come a long way and it's a pleasure for me to have seen it grow from 300 subs to this. I hope we'll soon see larger and larger sims!
I lived in Anchorage Alaska, and learned about the history of the Good Friday Earthquake in 1964. Back then anchorage wasn’t as developed with tall buildings or as populated as today, but the pictures of the destruction are horrifying. Second most powerful recorded earthquake, a 9.2 that lasted nearly 5 minutes! Caused landslides that changes the height of entire areas around the city and up Cook Inlet. Caused tsunamis up to 220 ft. Insane
I'm really amazed by this video, showing how destructive the earthquake can be. By the way, I'm a citizen of Indonesia's Aceh Province who experienced M9.2 earthquake in 2004 (7 years old right on the date it happened) and intraplate earthquake doublets measured M8.6 and M8.2 in 2012 (during my junior high school year).
I had several experiences with earthquakes, the largest was one of magnitude 8.8, fortunately in my country the infrastructure is anti-seismic, so my house and many others did not suffer much damage, only a few old or poorly built houses suffered damage. What is really more dangerous and destructive is the subsequent tsunami.
Can't believe in my eyes ! When the Earthquake's scale get 7.8, the moment of a huge modern skyscraper falling down take me to San Andreas The Movie immediately ! Always be stucked in your video when The Cities's Scale Earthquake Video On-air ! Your Big Fan in Vietnam!
thank you so much my big fan! It means so much to hear your feedback! I can totally relate to you :) Also, I am trying to keep the simulations with a realistic degree. Some things in the San Andreas movie were exaggerated :)
I found it quite interesting. I was surprised how well the train survived. Just wobbling a little. I think that using flexible material is more better for Earthquake resistance than solid material. But a more solid foundation. Apparently theres some foundations that are set on tracks. With wheels and pulleys. Designed to wave and bend and flex. Preventing the worst of the damage. But im no expert. I just find this stuff interesting. Its good to know that people are out there. Trying to prevent harm.
Went through a 4.0 two years ago. It was my first earthquake and it literally sounded like a rockslide and a freight train. I remember everyone coming out of their houses afterwards wondering what happened. This was an area that doesn’t get strong (
it depends on how the foundation and structure are built. Since i've experienced a mag 6.3 earthquake but the damage that we got was minuscule compared to the one that this video showed while other houses that is built differently crumbled.
commenting mainly to boost you in the algorithm but god i love your work! there is so much detail and as a fellow blender user i feel for your computer ahah
In 2016, several major earthquakes occurred in Kumamoto. The largest one was M7.3. However, not a single house meeting Japan's latest earthquake-resistance rating of 3 collapsed! Very surprising!
I think it would be really interesting to see this same kind of experiment, but with different cities and their building codes. Like a 7.4 in Tokyo, San Francisco, NYC, Barcelona, Dubai, Taipei, etc.
I am a resident of Chile, known for its seismic activity. I witnessed an 8.8 magnitude earthquake a few years back. Fortunately, due to strict building regulations, only a few older structures sustained structural damage.
Im from Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's big earthquake is so close, and professionals saying it'll be around 7.5-7.8, and over 400.000+ people gonna be de@d and millions of people gonna be homeless because of the poor conditions of most of buildings in Istanbul. it will be impossible to send help to the Istanbul. Whoever seeing this comment, please do not forget the people of Istanbul after that incident because there are over 20 Million people living in Istanbul and fall of Istanbul will cause a huge crisis through the world, trust me. There is no way to prevent crisis after the fall of Istanbul.
Great video! Very interesting to see the progression. Of magnitudes. It would be I threshing to see a timeplot of the acceleration / response spectrum alongside (down in the corner of video) while shaking is going on. Great stuff!
I survived 7.8 and 7.5 double earthquake and many aftershocks up to 6+ it happened this year yet I recall it like vivid dream. Even tho our lives changed drastically for weeks, we had to sleep outside and many people died. it still feels like a vivid memory that never happened
Living in Alaska, I've experienced two 7.1 quakes (2016 and 2018) and it's like riding in a car, but the car is driving on the worst kept, bumpy road you can think of at 30 mph
I was in the 8.8 earthquake in Chile in 2010 and not even half of the buildings that appear in this video fell... What type of building are they based on to do this?!
The 8.8 Chile quake had a MMI intensity of VIII. The fault rupture was offshore away from population. If the fault would rupture right beneath the city then that would be a big problem. These Simulations reflect that 🙂
This is really interesting. We don't get earthquakes here in SD, at least not anything significant, and it's always intriguing to see how different architectures hold up under the stress. Props to the little white building for holding out!
On 6 May, 1976,.there was an earthquake centered in Friuli Italy ....and we felt it in southern Germany near Stuttgart 554Km away .......I'm from California ,but that one scared me most
I remember experienced 8.2 SR in West Java, Indonesia, I don't remember I think in 2009, it caused tsunami along south coast of the island, its core deep under ocean bed, I was just toodler and terrified that day
I suggest you make a video depicting main types of bridges, how each type can withstand the most punishing earthquake magnitude. This can give vital clues about bridge engineering around seismically active areas, and help choose which type of bridge is safe for each area's earthquake severity average in relation to construction viability.
平成28年熊本地震を経験したことはあるが、夜中に大きな地震を2度も経験することが家が壊れるかもしれないと感じることよりも恐ろしく、今でも忘れることが出来ない。 I have experienced two big earthquakes in Kumamoto during the night. Those made me much more frightened than feeling like my house might be destroyed; I still can't forget them.
I used to live in Temuco a city in the region of La Araucania in Chile I "Survived" the 2010 earthquake wich in the city was of 8.1 in the Seismological Moment Magnitude Scale or IX on mercalli, and 8.8 I the epicenter. I remember that night vividly as I was peacefully slepping with my parents (I was 9 years old) and I woke up immediately after the earthquake started I will never forget how I felt, and I'm not joking when I say that my body was literally jumping in the bed I was like riding a Wave, I was that type of movement constantly for minutes, while I didn't know what the hell was happening I remember seeing outside and seeing literally the lights and cables on the Poles exploding in a greenish color one by one and car alarms sounding everywhere. Fun fact, my dad I don't know how but managed to get up and go downstairs while the earthquake was on full blast just to save our new TV that he bought no more than weeks ago. Anyways, we lived in a newly constructed house no more than 3 years old so I was up to date with the last rules and regulations that our country asks to construction companies in buildings so the house didn't have a single scratch anywhere only our things like glasses and plates where broken. After the earthquake I got a little more in tune since I was still half asleep but not really scared, our neighbor come to us to ask if we were OK since he was a police officer, we decided to stay downstairs just in case waiting for the energy to come back, I remember felling Many "réplicas" which are mini earthquakes after the main event which were around VI and VIII constantly trough the days after, Not so fun fact only 550 people died Supposedly which compared to other smaller earthquakes on other countries is a miracle that just that many people died mainly by the tsunami which the people were not alerted because of a confusion And last fact this earthquake ejected an amount of energy similar to 800,000 atomic bombs, Hiroshima bomb to be exact Here in Chile we are so used to earthquakes that we don't care anymore until I goes like X in mercalli since every year there are thousands of mini earthquakes everywhere in our country
I don't understand why so many games would be so insanely good that they'd be this realistic. It's been bothering me since childhood that there weren't strong physical effects on buildings, I won't go into details now, but it would be awesome to have one like this, it would be an insanely good simulator! 😃😃
Depth and soil composition are huge factors influencing the destructive effects of an earthquake. The closer to the surface the hypocenter is, and the sandier the soil, the more destructive. It’s like an atmospheric nuclear explosion, the closer it is to the surface and the more exposed you are, the worse the effects.
Great as always. It's a little game, watching these, thinking okay this building will probably fail at Magnitude / rating X, and it keeps going. Not surprised however to see everything obliterated at XII though. If you had to design a structure, EQS, or show one that's built, what would you pick to survive a XII?
I'd definitely pick a steel skyscraper that has extra reinforcement and great foundations. Also I would build it straight on bedrock not on sandfills like the San Francisco area
@@EarthquakeSim Oh 100%. Obviously your recent video shows that sadly not even the ESB could resist greater than Mag 10, but there are a lot of factors to account for in the sim. Would you think the 1WTC or Taipei 101 would be good examples? In particular it'd be interesting if the BCB / FM could account for the typhoon damper TMD near the top of the tower in the Taipei example.
That may happen if the epicenter is directly under a city. Most earthquakes happen on fault areas or in the ocean. I've experienced earthquakes up to 8.1 in my life and where I live (a city in the pacific ring of fire) a 6.1 will barely cause any damage and a 7 will not take down urban bridges or concrete houses.
I have been fascinated with earthquakes and plate tectonics ever since I was a kid of 7yo when I experienced the 1971, M6.6, San Fernando Earthquake. I was as fascinated and thrilled as I was frightened. We lived in an old, 1920s, rancho style house that suffered only very minor, cosmetic damage despite only being about 20-miles from the epicenter. I was hooked from that day forward. I got the same kind of thrill watching your sims. What software did you use for building the models and running the earthquake sim? Is it bullet hard body physics or is it something more custom? I would love to experiment with doing earthquake sims myself. I do have Cinema 4D 2024 for my day job, and Houdini Apprentice for learning that very high learning curve 3D package that is used in many of the top VFX houses for doing various types of destruction sims among many other types of sims as well as just being a great general 3D production package (if you don't mind having to create extremely complex node graphs to put it all together that is). I don't know if the sim software has the capability but, I would love to see fracturing of the individual component meshes as well as dust, and debris sims.
What would be the real life equivalent for this? Every city is different. Many modern Japanese buildings can withstand at least a 9.0 whereas a city like Denver would totally collapse
Generally, a M9.0 earthquake does not occur directly beneath a city. It happens at the bottom of deep oceans or deep underground. If a M9.0 earthquake were to occur within close proximity to a city, there are no buildings that could withstand it.
Making this 3D model and running the simulations took me a week of constant work. The BEST thing you can do for me is to watch this video for as long as possible without skipping ahead. This will make TH-cam recommend this video to more people. Let's spread more earthquake awareness around the world, together! :)

I lived in Anchorage Alaska, and learned about the history of the Good Friday Earthquake in 1964. Back then anchorage wasn’t as developed with tall buildings or as populated as today, but the pictures of the destruction are horrifying. Second most powerful recorded earthquake, a 9.2 that lasted nearly 5 minutes! Caused landslides that changes the height of entire areas around the city and up Cook Inlet. Caused tsunamis up to 220 ft. Insane
I remember as a lil kid the earthquakes in Anchorage rattled the kitchen dishes.
One of the most visually captivating earthquake simulations
thank you so much! Tudor sounds like a very Romanian name
I'm really amazed by this video, showing how destructive the earthquake can be.
By the way, I'm a citizen of Indonesia's Aceh Province who experienced M9.2 earthquake in 2004 (7 years old right on the date it happened) and intraplate earthquake doublets measured M8.6 and M8.2 in 2012 (during my junior high school year).
I had several experiences with earthquakes, the largest was one of magnitude 8.8, fortunately in my country the infrastructure is anti-seismic, so my house and many others did not suffer much damage, only a few old or poorly built houses suffered damage. What is really more dangerous and destructive is the subsequent tsunami.
chile right?
el mejor país de chile hermano
Amazing, like always!
thank you Samuel!
Absolutely love your work! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your videos. They just keep getting better and better. Keep it up!
they keep getting better and better thanks to subscribers like you! :) your genuine support made this channel come alive.
Can't believe in my eyes ! When the Earthquake's scale get 7.8, the moment of a huge modern skyscraper falling down take me to San Andreas The Movie immediately !
Always be stucked in your video when The Cities's Scale Earthquake Video On-air !
Your Big Fan in Vietnam!
thank you so much my big fan! It means so much to hear your feedback! I can totally relate to you :) Also, I am trying to keep the simulations with a realistic degree. Some things in the San Andreas movie were exaggerated :)
@@EarthquakeSim Ahh,😍😍😍 You replied Me !! THANK YOU ❤️👌
POV: The concrete tower: And i'm still standing after all this time, looking like a true survivor 14:56
I found it quite interesting. I was surprised how well the train survived. Just wobbling a little. I think that using flexible material is more better for Earthquake resistance than solid material. But a more solid foundation. Apparently theres some foundations that are set on tracks. With wheels and pulleys. Designed to wave and bend and flex. Preventing the worst of the damage. But im no expert. I just find this stuff interesting. Its good to know that people are out there. Trying to prevent harm.
I'm so happy you find this stuff interesting! You are absolutely right about flexible materials!!
Amazing video and love how it's so crisp. The whole thing is kick ass. Beyond gorgeous
Thank you so much for watching❤️👍
Went through a 4.0 two years ago. It was my first earthquake and it literally sounded like a rockslide and a freight train. I remember everyone coming out of their houses afterwards wondering what happened. This was an area that doesn’t get strong (
Thanks for sharing your feedback😊
it depends on how the foundation and structure are built. Since i've experienced a mag 6.3 earthquake but the damage that we got was minuscule compared to the one that this video showed while other houses that is built differently crumbled.
which country?
Love your videos! Good as always
now imagine how it felt in valdivia 1960
commenting mainly to boost you in the algorithm but god i love your work! there is so much detail and as a fellow blender user i feel for your computer ahah
Thank you so much Philip🤩🤩
The mix of real sounds and then music on the replay is perfect!
Would be cool to have more first person shots, like from the ground, nice video!
These videos are amazing! Thank you for your hard work! I look forward to seeing more. 🙂
In 2016, several major earthquakes occurred in Kumamoto. The largest one was M7.3. However, not a single house meeting Japan's latest earthquake-resistance rating of 3 collapsed! Very surprising!
Infraestructure
I love your videos! Keep up the great work! :D
thank you so much for watching! I'm happy that we can all bring together more earthquake awareness around the world! :)
終盤の地震は1世紀以上前に、日本の関東を震源とする地震と同規模で、一瞬で町全体が荒野と化すんだな！？！？
Thats an good video and I subscribed! :)
Amazing video as always also those angles are sooo cool!
I think it would be really interesting to see this same kind of experiment, but with different cities and their building codes. Like a 7.4 in Tokyo, San Francisco, NYC, Barcelona, Dubai, Taipei, etc.
Mexico, Morocco (Agadir), Santiago of Chile, Alaska (Fairbanks) etc....
I am a resident of Chile, known for its seismic activity. I witnessed an 8.8 magnitude earthquake a few years back. Fortunately, due to strict building regulations, only a few older structures sustained structural damage.
Im from Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's big earthquake is so close, and professionals saying it'll be around 7.5-7.8, and over 400.000+ people gonna be de@d and millions of people gonna be homeless because of the poor conditions of most of buildings in Istanbul. it will be impossible to send help to the Istanbul. Whoever seeing this comment, please do not forget the people of Istanbul after that incident because there are over 20 Million people living in Istanbul and fall of Istanbul will cause a huge crisis through the world, trust me. There is no way to prevent crisis after the fall of Istanbul.
Really enjoying this vid. That big glass building is so ominous!
Yes it is!! Thank you for watching friend👍🙂
Thr fact you did this is amazing.
Thank you!
That M8.1 literally looked like an explosion with everything falling at once!!!
Great video! Very interesting to see the progression. Of magnitudes. It would be I threshing to see a timeplot of the acceleration / response spectrum alongside (down in the corner of video) while shaking is going on.
Great stuff!
I survived 7.8 and 7.5 double earthquake and many aftershocks up to 6+
it happened this year yet I recall it like vivid dream. Even tho our lives changed drastically for weeks, we had to sleep outside and many people died.
it still feels like a vivid memory that never happened
Living in Alaska, I've experienced two 7.1 quakes (2016 and 2018) and it's like riding in a car, but the car is driving on the worst kept, bumpy road you can think of at 30 mph
I wanna be the type of guy who lays on his horn during an apocalypse level earthquake
15:18 when my dad sneezes
14:47 when caseoh jumps
Is that the public library building from a previous video, a little behind and to the left of the crane? Cool to see it make a return!
Yes it did make a gracious return! 🙂 I'm so happy you've noticed this!
I didnt expect sound from building to win but i still love it
Yep! Thanks for being here!!
I was in the 8.8 earthquake in Chile in 2010 and not even half of the buildings that appear in this video fell... What type of building are they based on to do this?!
The 8.8 Chile quake had a MMI intensity of VIII. The fault rupture was offshore away from population. If the fault would rupture right beneath the city then that would be a big problem. These Simulations reflect that 🙂
@@EarthquakeSim Good thing most major earthquakes don't happen directly under cities..
The 8.8 Chile quake was actually a IX@@EarthquakeSim
Wow! This is really cool :3
what was the most interesting earthquake magnitude in this simulation? :)
Idk really, it's just a really good demonstration of earthquake power
The train lives on!
Nobody's mentioning the sound design of this video so I wanna let you know I appreciate it 👍
This is a lot of work, great video
About 100 hours of work🙃
Quel bel ensemble, que de détails, merci et bravo !
❤️❤️❤️
Arica Antofagasta e Iquique aguantando un 8.3 grados Richter en 2014🗿 (solo se rompio la carretera que une a Iquique y altos picios)
Please do more interior replays, I think they're quite cool!
This is really interesting. We don't get earthquakes here in SD, at least not anything significant, and it's always intriguing to see how different architectures hold up under the stress. Props to the little white building for holding out!
Good video, very interesting. I preferred the ambient city noises to the music.
Thank you so much for your feedback!!
On 6 May, 1976,.there was an earthquake centered in Friuli Italy ....and we felt it in southern Germany near Stuttgart 554Km away .......I'm from California ,but that one scared me most
That's an incredible simulation😮. I subscribe.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the team😁👍
@@EarthquakeSim Thanks! 😉😉
Nicely done!
One of the best simulations I've ever seen
Thank you so much😁😁😁
My heart goes out to everyone involved.
W for the small building it survive a lot
I remember experienced 8.2 SR in West Java, Indonesia, I don't remember I think in 2009, it caused tsunami along south coast of the island, its core deep under ocean bed, I was just toodler and terrified that day
no way, there is a building still survive
I suggest you make a video depicting main types of bridges, how each type can withstand the most punishing earthquake magnitude.
This can give vital clues about bridge engineering around seismically active areas, and help choose which type of bridge is safe for each area's earthquake severity average in relation to construction viability.
This is indeed a very helpful idea! I took a note on it 👍😇
平成28年熊本地震を経験したことはあるが、夜中に大きな地震を2度も経験することが家が壊れるかもしれないと感じることよりも恐ろしく、今でも忘れることが出来ない。
I have experienced two big earthquakes in Kumamoto during the night. Those made me much more frightened than feeling like my house might be destroyed; I still can't forget them.
Really cool👍🏻
thanks!
Maybe the Golden Gate Bridge for a future vid?
that would be so interesting!!!
I used to live in Temuco a city in the region of La Araucania in Chile I "Survived" the 2010 earthquake wich in the city was of 8.1 in the Seismological Moment Magnitude Scale or IX on mercalli, and 8.8 I the epicenter.
I remember that night vividly as I was peacefully slepping with my parents (I was 9 years old) and I woke up immediately after the earthquake started I will never forget how I felt, and I'm not joking when I say that my body was literally jumping in the bed I was like riding a Wave, I was that type of movement constantly for minutes, while I didn't know what the hell was happening I remember seeing outside and seeing literally the lights and cables on the Poles exploding in a greenish color one by one and car alarms sounding everywhere.
Fun fact, my dad I don't know how but managed to get up and go downstairs while the earthquake was on full blast just to save our new TV that he bought no more than weeks ago.
Anyways, we lived in a newly constructed house no more than 3 years old so I was up to date with the last rules and regulations that our country asks to construction companies in buildings so the house didn't have a single scratch anywhere only our things like glasses and plates where broken.
After the earthquake I got a little more in tune since I was still half asleep but not really scared, our neighbor come to us to ask if we were OK since he was a police officer, we decided to stay downstairs just in case waiting for the energy to come back, I remember felling Many "réplicas" which are mini earthquakes after the main event which were around VI and VIII constantly trough the days after,
Not so fun fact only 550 people died Supposedly which compared to other smaller earthquakes on other countries is a miracle that just that many people died mainly by the tsunami which the people were not alerted because of a confusion
And last fact this earthquake ejected an amount of energy similar to 800,000 atomic bombs, Hiroshima bomb to be exact
Here in Chile we are so used to earthquakes that we don't care anymore until I goes like X in mercalli since every year there are thousands of mini earthquakes everywhere in our country
I don't understand why so many games would be so insanely good that they'd be this realistic. It's been bothering me since childhood that there weren't strong physical effects on buildings, I won't go into details now, but it would be awesome to have one like this, it would be an insanely good simulator! 😃😃
I totally believe the same!!! Thanks for sharing!
Are we gonna ignore the fact that the trees are still standing?
I want a tree like that
Are you able to make a replica of the wtc when the explosion occurred and flattened to the ground ?
I once experienced a 5.9 earthquake and your simulation was very accurate! Kudos for that 👍
Depth and soil composition are huge factors influencing the destructive effects of an earthquake. The closer to the surface the hypocenter is, and the sandier the soil, the more destructive. It’s like an atmospheric nuclear explosion, the closer it is to the surface and the more exposed you are, the worse the effects.
Great as always. It's a little game, watching these, thinking okay this building will probably fail at Magnitude / rating X, and it keeps going. Not surprised however to see everything obliterated at XII though.
If you had to design a structure, EQS, or show one that's built, what would you pick to survive a XII?
I'd definitely pick a steel skyscraper that has extra reinforcement and great foundations. Also I would build it straight on bedrock not on sandfills like the San Francisco area
@@EarthquakeSim Oh 100%. Obviously your recent video shows that sadly not even the ESB could resist greater than Mag 10, but there are a lot of factors to account for in the sim. Would you think the 1WTC or Taipei 101 would be good examples? In particular it'd be interesting if the BCB / FM could account for the typhoon damper TMD near the top of the tower in the Taipei example.
I'm quite surprised that only one building remained standing after that intensity XII quake.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
thank you so much!!
that was great!!! I arrived late but I loved the design of the city!
thank you so much for your feedback!!
@@EarthquakeSim No problem!!!
And The Train Is Still Fine.
Give this man more subs
this means so much to me to hear from you! :)
You constructed a beautiful city. I like how you represented modern concrete and steel highrises, old brick and stone buildings, and raised highways.
That crane has some willpower lol
I love the way you put it!
The skyscrapers held up surprisingly well.

Japan: Is this an earthquake? I think it's windy now.
A well made video 😊
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Houses should be like trees, because trees have roots making them not fall
Love the animation!
I experienced a 6.8 Earthquake in Morocco 😅
i like your video,the so relax and satisfied
i want to watch this video all day i love iT!
Let’s do it!! I’ll do live commentary 😋
That may happen if the epicenter is directly under a city. Most earthquakes happen on fault areas or in the ocean. I've experienced earthquakes up to 8.1 in my life and where I live (a city in the pacific ring of fire) a 6.1 will barely cause any damage and a 7 will not take down urban bridges or concrete houses.
were the distant screams a necessary aspect of this simulation
They do not contribute to the physics😁
Also no one was hurt in the making of this video😇👍
Thank you,greatimgs from Croatia
I have been fascinated with earthquakes and plate tectonics ever since I was a kid of 7yo when I experienced the 1971, M6.6, San Fernando Earthquake. I was as fascinated and thrilled as I was frightened. We lived in an old, 1920s, rancho style house that suffered only very minor, cosmetic damage despite only being about 20-miles from the epicenter. I was hooked from that day forward. I got the same kind of thrill watching your sims.
What software did you use for building the models and running the earthquake sim? Is it bullet hard body physics or is it something more custom? I would love to experiment with doing earthquake sims myself. I do have Cinema 4D 2024 for my day job, and Houdini Apprentice for learning that very high learning curve 3D package that is used in many of the top VFX houses for doing various types of destruction sims among many other types of sims as well as just being a great general 3D production package (if you don't mind having to create extremely complex node graphs to put it all together that is).
I don't know if the sim software has the capability but, I would love to see fracturing of the individual component meshes as well as dust, and debris sims.
What would be the real life equivalent for this? Every city is different. Many modern Japanese buildings can withstand at least a 9.0 whereas a city like Denver would totally collapse
it depends on the distance from the actual fault, in the simulation its assumed that the fault is directly underneath the city
i'd be suprised if japanese buildings could withstand a 9.0
Generally, a M9.0 earthquake does not occur directly beneath a city.
It happens at the bottom of deep oceans or deep underground. If a M9.0 earthquake were to occur within close proximity to a city, there are no buildings that could withstand it.
