Continuous tremors in Taiwan.​

This situation must be horrifying for the people in that region, who have been experiencing almost 6 hours of continuous tremors. A prayer for the people affected in this earthquake​

Dashcam footage of the Taiwan earthquake, note the slope on the right.

Wow! He barely make it.

I hope the person in the other car is alright.

We are just ants against nature.

[Ðekel]

Wow.
The situation in Taiwan is intense.

At least the death count is really low.

Buildings there follow very strict anti-earthquake guidlines and are engineered accordingly.

 

[Natus Videre]

I hope the person in the other car is alright.

We are just ants against nature.

Yeah, it seems like the safest place was to be glued to the big wall on the far right, waiting for the rocks to pass over your head. Terrifying.

 

[Soluna]

Goodness, that front car was fortunate he couldn't back up further in that moment or that rock would certainly have crushed the front rather than the rear of their car!! I hope that good luck ensured their survival.

 

[iamthatis]

I don't think this one has been posted yet - incredible landslides in Taiwan.
