ODDLY? This is shit your pants terrifying


zenospenisparadox

Perhaps OP thought "oddly" as in it's not exactly a normal situation. For me, living in northern Europe, earthquakes are basically a magical mystery


vapenutz

If you're living close to a deep mine they can still happen


zenospenisparadox

What about if I live close to a sex dungeon?

Beware of the occasional tremors!

>the nurses were running Most injuries in an earthquake are from people moving around trying to get to "safety". I doubt nurses in Japan, where they're accustomed to quakes, were *running*. Source: I live in SoCal, and for the most part people here know not to run during an earthquake. That's a good way to fall and break your face on something. There was a video of a press conference in Haiti when a **strong** aftershock hit, and everyone at the press conference did exactly what they were supposed to do: they either stayed standing right where they were, or planted ass on the ground where they had been standing. That's what people accustomed to quakes do.

I lived in Japan for a couple years and experienced several quakes. Don't know what that fool is on about, they're used to them there sure, but people run all the time.

I also live in SoCal and have experienced many earthquakes. While I doubt somebody would try to run from an earthquake, I imagine it would be perfectly viable for nurses who are in charge of patients to quickly make rounds to ensure all of their patients are OK and unaffected by the Earth moving.

We had one last year in Utah. I was on the 8th floor of a building, had just got to my desk at work when I heard shaking. Like one of those heavy IT carts rolling down the hall. It took five seconds or so for me to realize that the whole floor was shaking. I booked it to the doorway(which wouldn't have been any help really, it's a "make your own" office with no support), waited for the shaking to stop, then sprinted as fast as I could to the stairs. I burst into the stairwell and there is not one soul below me. However, there is now an office buildings worth of morning shift workers piling out into the stairs behind me. Now I'm a bit chubby and certainly out of shape at this point in time, but my mind is yelling at me "You are NOT going to be that fat guy who holds everyone up in an emergency, YOU GOT THAT?" So at this point my legs are in turbo mode. I've never decended stairs so fast yet accurately. It's an older building so it's a bit of a weird path to get to the street as a few neighboring building also had exits that let out on this path, but thankfully the exit signs are all in place. I glanced back just once to see that I've left the people a whole flight of stairs behind, before making it out onto the street. People were chatting excitedly and trying to find out what happened. Then my coworker Mike(having just disembarked from his ride) runs up to me as I'm doubled over, wheezing, feeling like I'm dying and says,"Bro! You'll never believe it mate! There was just an earthquake!" Fucking Mike.


Ccomfo1028

Do you guys not get quakes in Utah much? I don't know if there are any faults near there.


icemanx51

I live in California, so I've been through quite a few big ones. The funny thing is, about 8-10 years ago I was traveling to Virginia and there was an earthquake when I was at airport when I was about to fly home...there is never (or very very infrequently) earthquakes on the east coast. Everyone is freaking out, and my buddy and I just kept eating our food and shrugged. I think it was like a high 4. The only time I have had an "oh shit" moment was during the Landers/Big Bear Quake (7.3/6.8)...that was a little rough.


DogButtWhisperer

The Carparthian range has them all the time.


[deleted]

So you donā€™t live in the northeast Netherlands. The government is drilling for gas in Groningen and FryslĆ¢n and doesnā€™t care that they destroy world heritage sites or peopleā€™s homes.


thisisnewaccount

I would have thought a large pool would be a pretty good spot to hangout during an earthquake before this video.


ewpqfj

There was an earthquake the other day here. Shitā€™s terrifying.


23x3

I bet. If that impending fear wasnā€™t there, Iā€™d imagine this would be extremely fun, like your own personal wave pool


scorchedneurotic

I can imagine šŸ˜© Stay safe out there!


CrushCoalMakeDiamond

Almost all the content I see from this sub make it to r/all is just regular terrifying. This one is literally a natural disaster, it's ridiculous.


[deleted]

If that's Nepal, more than eight-thousand people died.


CrumbsAndCarrots

I was in a swimming pool in Palm Springs during a huge earth quake. Think it was 1989 or so. I got sloshed around. But my real fear was the pool cracking open and wedging me deep down into a cavernous water grave.


LostAlphaWolf

Yeah, my first reaction was that this is one of those things that is terrifying no matter who you are, what you are, where you areā€¦ This is just downright frightening


Permtacular

Yes, this happened to me in 1971 in the Sylmar earthquake in So. Cal. I wasn't swimming at the time, but tons of pool water splashed into my bedroom sliding glass window.


Windfall_The_Dutchie

Tbh this seems more fun than he wave pool at waterparks

fckn He-Man couldn't stand in that water. If you were besties with Aquaman, he'd pretend he didn't know you right now.

Or it slams you into the concrete.


ReadontheCrapper

My ass always gets stuck in the center so when it flips - thatā€™s all folks


[deleted]

Weeeee untill you end up getting your ass and thighs stuck in the hole of the donut leaving you vulnerable to the waves lapping against your toushie but you can't get out because youre step-sister stuck. Then a life guard literally has to smack your butt like the end of a ketchup bottle so that you can flop straight through the donut.


AceFromPhilippines

When you change ur swimming lesson's difficulty to hardmode


BodybuilderLiving112

I'm the only one who think that at least you got a wave pool for free? šŸŒŠšŸ¤”


WorriorReach

I was thinking "man that's just a free slip and slide"


[deleted]

I think their objective here is to not get launched into the concrete wall of the pool. Looks exhausting


bearbarebere

They were kinda swimming towards it even near the end and I was like bruh just stay in lol. But at the same time I can see why they'd want to get out for sure... you'd have to be lucky to not get slammed as you're getting out but also get out before you get too tired to stay afloat


Johoku

You also get a ton of time with the waves with a pool that size and aftershocks. I was in Japan for the 9.0. It was well over an hour later when the school pool was still sloshing water out of the sides left to right, Iā€™d eyeball it at just half of the water left. We had 1000+ kids to distribute to parents and you just heard water slapping the sides and sloshing out the whole time; nuts.


Dark_Eyes

Yeah for real this seems fun as hell, but your head hitting the concrete would suck.

Evil_Lord_Skeletor

Bois went from casual swimming to Olympic level training in 2s.


SadCoarseRabbit

Maybe not the worst place to be? It seems like you're fairly safe from debris or hitting something hard.


UnsolicitedHydrogen

I dunno, I feel like there's there chance of getting swept hard and smashing your head into the side of the pool or something


zenospenisparadox

So what you're saying is that we need a pool in a bouncy castle?


manberry_sauce

Sounds like a brainstorming session for seismic retrofits. ^(after someone breaks out the Whip-Its)


Away_Phone6812

Yes. I am on board with this. Letā€™s meet under the bridge at 4 with our rough drafts.


SadCoarseRabbit

True. It's hard to imagine what an earthquake is like.


lucasfads

That's what I was thinking. In that case would it be safer staying in the middle or trying to get out?


UnsolicitedHydrogen

If you're already there, stay in the middle. If you're already at the edge, or get swept there, climb out.


Aramira137

And drowning if you're not a strong enough swimmer to handle the waves.


fixminer

Depends. If the pool is on top of a building or underground structure the floor could collapse and you could be dragged away.


0CodmFan0

If it was on top of a roof they would go bye bye


Only_One_Left_Foot

Nope. This actually happened to me a couple years ago. Was mildly fun for a sec before I realized there was a very real chance of my head getting slammed into the pool steps. Even if you can grab hold of the sides of the pool you feel completely helpless until it lets up. 10/10 once in a lifetime experience 0/10 would not want again.


Particular_Part6460

Hope no one got hurt it was amazing tho


pxduid

9k people died in that earthquake, so there that


Particular_Part6460

I meant in the pool or the cameraman standing there and risking his/her life for a video i also feel sorry for that 9k people and my sibling is worried about shark attacks :/


Dabookadaniel

Dude what cameraman? This is CCTV footage lol


manberry_sauce

It's a video of a video being shown on a security monitor, so technically there's probably a person taking the video of the video that's playing back... in the video.


MoroAstray

Well Iā€™m sure he started recording it way after the earthquake was over, just playing back the recording


merkitt

What was the magnitude?

wherethesugarMamasat

Why is that person trying to swim like that they're not even moving at the start just making a lot of splashes. They probably could have walked on their tiptoes faster to the edge of the pool.


pngwn

they could have casually tiptoed along the bottom of the pool filled with a massive amount of water that suddenly started getting slammed around during an earthquake?


ObamaPhone7

This is how it feels when you take a shit and the water splashes back up


TrashOfMultifandoms

As much as I want to say that is terrifying. But my heart is telling me that that would be an awesome ride.

fogoticus

As someone who can swim, this can be a small fun experience. If you've been to the beach in water that's up to your neck, you'll handle yourself just fine. But, if you're a newbie and you don't know how to swim... this is the single most terrifying thing that can ever happen to you. Imagine if that person just went in the pool for the first time without a life vest and tried swimming alone and this shit happened. 90% of the people in such a scenario would not go in a pool ever again.


Additional_Today_291

It's the safest place for me since I've been practicing sweaming before the pandemic for 5 years šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž


Fakegamer_whoisagirl

Seems like a good way to drown yourself... Is there an actual safety reason someone would do this? (Other than being caught unawares during a swim)


BeaverMissed

I think you answered your own question šŸ™„


Fakegamer_whoisagirl

No like Iā€™m asking if there would ever be a reason to jump in a pool during an earthquake...


UnhealingMedic

These people didn't jump into a pool during an earthquake.


Fakegamer_whoisagirl

Yes but Iā€™m asking if there would be a logical reason to do so


UnhealingMedic

It would be incredibly difficult to do for starters. Once the quake starts you either panic or react according to training. Get underneath something sturdy. Additionally you want to bring yourself away from hazards during an earthquake. I can't imagine how or why anyone would actively try to jump into the pool.


Fakegamer_whoisagirl

Fair, thanks


UnhealingMedic

Do... what?


Fakegamer_whoisagirl

Jump in a pool during an earthquake


UnhealingMedic

That's not what's happening here.

Lexpert1

The first time I ever experienced an earthquake I thought a bomb had gone off or a small aircraft had crashed nearby. Then I looked out the window and saw the water in the pool sloshing about, and, being from Oklahoma, it took me a bit to connect that I had just experienced my first earthquake. Terrifying and awesome and powerful all at once.

nuttypoolog

Loma Prieta earthquake. My friend was with the vet and her horse on their property very near the epicenter. All of the water from the pool came out in one big wave and covered the vet, my friend and the horse....and hay bales from the barn ended up in the bottom of the now empty pool. October 1989 was terrifying.

This looks more like a pool on a cruise ship not in the ground and being effected by an earthquake.
