All japanese building are builded to hold on if there's any earthquake. Not just a small earthquake, but also the big earthquake. It is mandatory for all buildings there.
Jeff Vernando yes everything in Japan are earthquake resistand and earthquake.Japanese gave good enginner and good architecture it it was me I will just eat my foo.if it was any western everything will get destroyer.so nothign to get scared.
Ben Oto Yeah, these are the same people who built my Hondas. I saw attention to details everywhere in Japan because of the 4 day layover due to the earthquake. Great people...
I was calm because that was my first time in Japan and thought that kind of earthquake was common and the building was on special earthquake sliders. It felt like being in a wok and being slide around. I loved it, I was surprised by all the yelling at the time.
A building that is on "sliders" and "rollers" always comes up when there's an earthquake (I live in California). There's construction that's withstands earthquakes better, and it is used throughout new construction in California, but I can assure you there are no buildings on "rollers."
Like the fact that it happened 7 years ago makes it less important.. This was not just an earthquake, this was top 4 earthquake in history and a lot of people died. Try again with another overused meme
Honestly, it was my first time in Japan. I thought trembles like that was normal. The building slide back and forth under my feet like it was on rollers. So I thought this is great, I get to experience a Japan earthquake. It was a once in several lifetime experience, I am so glad I was able to share it with everyone. :)

I experienced my first earthquake in PH back in 2012. I was so confused I still sat on my chair and continued to write notes from the lessons. It felt like I was having a back massage. Everyone was panicking, and when we were about to go down the stairs there weren't any lights so I was complaining about it while my classmates were crying that it felt like the end of the world. Still loved the back massage.
When I lived at midway island atoll we had once a year tidal wave drills. All servicemen and their families are mandatory to take part. I was 7 yrs old at the time 1970 thru the end of 1973. Population of midway at the less than 1000. The island 2 square miles wide and 2 million albatross seabirds nesting. I was a navy brat
Even in a 9.0 earthquake... People are helping each other to safety. Very little panicking. People still cheerful and polite to each other. No looting or rioting. People just lining up waiting their turn for food at groceries. Negligible structural damage(except the tsunami which there's no stoppin) < -impressive Man, what a great country and culture Japan has.
4:40 Poor thing, damn it this made me cry. She's beyond terrified. if this happened, I would be in this same position. I'm mortified of quakes. I've never experienced a HUGE quake, only a 6.0+ and NEVER wanna go back...
I live in Southren California, and I hate earthquakes too. I've experienced two 7.0 earthquakes in my lifetime, but thankfully the epicenter wasn't close to me. The scariest one I've ever experienced was the Northridge quake in 1994, and that one was a 6.7 I think. I can't imagine living through a 9.0 quake. I would be having a panic attack like that girl. Poor thing.
I live in Saint Charles Missouri and I’m 53 years old and in all those years we’ve had like to tremors both registered maybe around three on the Richter scale. I cannot imagine what it must be like to live on the east coast of Japan.
I felt a tremor once, in the UK, in about 2008/9. The ground vibrating and the walls and windows creaking scared the life out of me. It was so unnerving. Measured about 0.8 on the Richter scale. Respect to the Japanese.
gosh this must be the most terrifying exp to u guys, the restaurant staffs were very caring to the elderly. i heard vietnamese accent English at the end.
Actually I wasn't scared at all. I thought earthquakes like this happens all the time in Japan, I was surprise the Japanese people were freaking out so much. So being ignorant kept me calm. We are from Vietnam so you heard vietnamese spoken.

Notice how gently she pushes the lady's head down under the table 1:10. Great job young one!!! 😍 She could have run like everone else but she was so kind and caring. Great kindness in action.
I found Japan is littered only when there is an earthquake, otherwise they are best example for discipline, cleanliness and neetliness. Perhaps no power on Earth can harm Japan other than natural calamities. It is a wonder of the world.
I had just boarded my flight to LAX when the earthquake hit. We experienced the whole thing from the safety of the airplane. Your video of the earthquake is quite interesting.
Japan is no stranger to big earthquakes, that’s why most if not all their infrastructure are Earth Quake proof. This Japanese employees are so great, they were so concern and helpful with their customers.
Wow that lasted forever. I grew up in the bay area in California and earthquakes were a near daily occurrence and the only one I remember lasting that long was the '89 quake during the World Series.
i 'm still living in same mansion 23 floor until now in tokyo and this earth quake made me menthal sicked and nervous. strong swaying devastated my 57 flat screen tv, standing mirror and moving cabinets.....
That earthquake disturbed me so much that I cried for weeks. I could not live in a place that is so active with earthquakes. It has to be terrifying for these people.
How is it? Illumination No falls in an earthquake of this degree in Japan, and furniture No collapses, and a window doesn't break. This is a Japanese building code.
I'm Japanese living in Tokyo. Japanese are used to earthquakes, so we might look calm compared to foreigners. Restaurant and store staffs are trained to protect customers. But 3.11 was huge even in Tokyo.
ya, i love watching these video because of that... it shows raw human psychology.. there is not violence just mankind united to help each other... its so beautiful to watch... men gathering together staying alert, women heading towards crowds getting in the middle of crowds for comfort and protection... young helping elder... so beautiful
I know tipping is not common in Japan but I would have definitely tipped the lady who made sure your mom was safe under the table while unconcerned about her own safety.
In these situation, you don't need to worry about the possibility that building such as Airport and station is destroyed. But, you have to awere of stuff above you. You are reccomanded to be under desk to protect your head from falling.
charles910 Was that the first earthquake you've experienced? From your dialect, your not from Japan. You, Mum and Dad handled it very well. Merry Christmas from Australia
+Mezza Rarty That was my first and only earthquake experience. We are from Vietnam on a 4 hour layover. We got to sleep at the airport that night and stayed in Narita for 5 days and had an extra vacation in Japan. It was great. Merry Christmas to you too, thank you.
17th Sept 2011 at about 8pm was the first time I experienced a quake,it was 6.5 in magnitude and epicentre was about a hundred km away from my home,well I was only 8years old and outside there was a thunderstorm,so no electricity The quake remained for about 30sec but I was shaking for 30min
Unless the airport is on fire, it's probably best to stay put until it's over. Buildings in Japan are built to very high seismic standards. I noticed many customers fleeing the restaurant when the quake started. It's not easy to stampede out of an airport terminal.
In Japan during earthquakes, it's safer to stay inside the building than outside unlike in other countries 😉. Amazing, their buildings are dependable/earthquake proof! If it weren't for that destructive tsunami, maybe no lives were lost then.

This fool really said “it’s ok, it’ll stop in a moment” during an earthquake lmaooo
Ikr and other comments here are like "wow he's so cool" -.-
Because it usually does stop. But no, this time it didn't stop, and it got worse and worse.
Unless the airport is on fire, it's probably best to stay put until it's over. Buildings in Japan are built to very high seismic standards. I noticed many customers fleeing the restaurant when the quake started. It's not easy to stampede out of an airport terminal.
Old people were like “ok... just another earthquake”

In Japan during earthquakes, it's safer to stay inside the building than outside unlike in other countries 😉. Amazing, their buildings are dependable/earthquake proof! If it weren't for that destructive tsunami, maybe no lives were lost then.
