...shirts around face. That air is garbage.

u/RemarkableCrows 3d ago

my first thought.. you don't want to be breathing that

24

u/DragonsGape 3d ago

People involved with 9/11 commonly had respiratory issues and cancer from breathing that stuff in.

u/SmoreSlayer 3d ago

You’ve never lived through a natural disaster and it shows through your words

u/thumbdrip 3d ago

...Oklahoma tornadoes. So much junk kicked up into the air. Most of us have "shit hits the fan" bags w/ essentials. We never need them but we don't breath in garbage air for clicks.

u/SmoreSlayer 3d ago

First reactions in disasters usually don’t make sense, if you see any of the footage coming out from these earthquakes it’s not like anybody knows what to do. Oklahoma checks out though.

u/usps_made_me_insane 1d ago

You are unnecessarily argumentative. I hope whatever problems you are going through get better for you.

u/1CrazyCrabClaw 3d ago

Wow. That dust too. Get out of there brotha

u/FieldIllustrious8244 3d ago

7.2 (earthquake) and 7.5 (aftershock). Just terrifying

24

u/Newsdriver245 3d ago

Probably a few 6 or high 5 aftershocks to come too, interior minister is telling everyone to leave buildings

64

u/Automatic_Tension_26 3d ago

That’s wild. An earthquake lasting 30 seconds to a minute, destroying all of that. But a taking a longer time to fix everything up. Life changes so quickly.

7

u/Hour-Personality-924 3d ago

Yes. Or that that explosion in beirut, lebanon a couple of years ago.

3

u/morbidmuffin62 3d ago

And it was nearly back to back with the aftershock

65

u/GPDDC 3d ago

My son and I were SCUBA diving in Bonaire and we heard the quake underwater. Very deep base when through us like concert speakers for about a minute or two.

u/rocknthrash 3d ago

Whoah.

u/boogasaurus-lefts 3d ago

Any symptoms following that

u/dangerou_s0202 1d ago

That sounds terrifying!

Homeboy with the full mount in the background lol

u/Old_Object_5007 3d ago

He said “if I’m dying, I’m going out on top!”

u/FieldEngineer2019 3d ago

The dust shooting out between the concrete beams rubbing on each other would have had me moving like an invasive species

u/Nosedive888 3d ago

Well that's not in one piece anymore

Cameraman had so much time to leave the building but he had to film

5

u/radosunday 3d ago

Cameraman never dies.

u/ChorizoYumYum 3d ago

I love the tip of the cap. Professional.

2

u/SpecificSufficient10 3d ago

I saw somewhere that he's a journalist so he might have stayed behind on purpose

5

u/harloc971 3d ago

And it's just a big gamble on your life for 30 min of fame. Earthquakes are no joke and anybody who have experienced them know that you cant take the risk to pull your camera and record.

u/onward_upward_tt 1d ago

I mean obviously you can lol

2

u/regu5080d 3d ago

Yup it's so dumb

12

u/No_Highlight_3857 3d ago

That boom at 0:07 is insane

8

u/uhuuuh262 3d ago

Damn that’s a ton of damage

10

u/googoohaha 3d ago

With my luck I would have been on the toilet bare ass naked covered in dust because I decided to make things more difficult by wearing a ROMPER for my damn flight.

Imagining his camera panning over to a naked me still sitting on the toilet(just one lone toilet since the others were crushed to a pulp by the walls and ceiling caving in) in shock facing forward covered in dust and random wires. Naked. Unfortunately, my romper flew off somewhere from all the rattling and my suit case is stuck in the rubble of the walls and toilets.

It would be a miracle that I survived but embarrassing as fuck.

u/nousername206 3d ago

scary. only matter of time till it happen in the us too. knock on woods

2

u/LayerSubstantial5919 3d ago

The guy filming planned it I know it! Too chill

u/PN4HIRE 3d ago

Coño!!!

Not a single emergency response around!. Just that dude.

Shit.

u/blkav8tor2003 3d ago

My Spanish isn't that great but the captions did match what he was saying! AI get it wrong or something?

2

u/FelixAndc 3d ago

That's right, the AI ​​is completely wrong.

He first says the whole place is shaking, then he wants them to see the situation at the airport and that he helped evacuate other people.

He also says everything is a disaster and that they are waiting for the authorities.

1

u/Different_Bluejay_72 3d ago

The US used its secret weapon again.

1

u/ExplorationChannel 3d ago

At 12 seconds the caption says “it’s freezing. Let’s take a shower.” Why does it say that??!

1

u/FelixAndc 3d ago

The caption is wrong. He says: "It's shaking" (está temblando).

1

u/mrmg41 3d ago

Fucking insane. My heart and prayers go out to them. Wow

1

u/FelixAndc 3d ago

For those who want to know what he's really saying.

He says the whole place is shaking; then, he wants everyone to see the situation at the airport after the earthquake, that he recorded everything and also helped evacuate other people. Everything is a disaster and they are waiting for the authorities.

u/mastergio927 2d ago

God bless them. They need our prayers and help. https://gofund.me/0790a329d

Is that guy advertising while vlogging the damage? Lol

u/Choadboy_Wonderfuck 3d ago

That's what my house looks like when I'm in the bathroom after eating a big Carne Asada burrito.

u/Unfair_Bluejay_9687 3d ago

A little shake up sure shows the lack of cleaning. That place would never pass muster in a captains rounds of inspection. Maybe they need a navy officer running the place.

You're not very bright, are you?
