Videos show moments earthquakes struck Japan on New Year’s Day
#Japan #Earthquake #Tsunami
They announce reopening or reusing that nuclear power plant but then this happens. Bummer.
I wouldn’t want to be standing under that sign at the beginning of the video…yikes!
Some people ran out from the bathrooms but but… they forgot to pull up their pants.
God bless them!
😂😂😂
Earthquake is very scary.
Just watching this makes me scared, I pray that no one is too hurt.
I can only imagine the looting that would happen here in the states in times of crisis. So amazing to see the Japanese people stay calm, help one another and not destroy anything that didn’t belong to them. Prayers for all of our Japanese friends to be safe amidst the chaos of Mother Nature 🙏🏽
If you look at the looting videos you will notice these looters look quite different 😂
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come,” Matthew 24:14. *Jesus Christ is Lord.*
You are my special 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Japanese people should’ve really set up base in new lands during their era of colonialism. Japan is just plagued with earthquakes and tsunamis all the time
Jusus
Run to a parking lot or an open area if you can god blessings
First it was the Philippines and now Japan?
Hope everyone is safe, praying for Japan🙏🙏🙏
Horrifying
Stop HAARP! Stop Genocide !!
中国国民はすでに割引や巨額オークションで日本の地震を祝い始めている…しかし、台湾の150人規模の救助隊はすでに部隊を編成し、災害救助のため現場に急行するという日本からの連絡を待っている!!!
Praying for Japan. From Modesto, California
🙏🏼the safety way to protect your self during a earthquake is right under the doors frames or columns of the buildings/house or under the tables and desks. 🙏🏼❤️
ขอให้สิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์ช่วยคุ้มครอง ชาวญี่ปุ่น ทุกคนปลอดภัย ด้วยครับ 🙏🇹🇭🇯🇵
i can’t believe it’s happening again, so soon
Thats what happen if you pro Satanyahu 😂
A building or construction in the world that want to use the word prestige in same sentence must also say: made and designed by Japanese.
元旦早々出歩いてなにやってんだこいつら
Bhavishya Malika 🤝

Very dangerous!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*The year 2024 just started…*
I know not everyone won’t go unharmed, or loose their their lives, but may your precious souls find the strength to deal with this tragedy, and the aftermass of this horrid disaster 🙏. Australia is thinking of you all.
Here we go with the Its the end of times posts 🙄
Wasnt there just a pane that caught fire while yanding in Japan today ?
With their indomitable spirit, Japan will rise again. We believe in your strength and recovery. 🌟🇯🇵 #JapanStrong #Resilience
2023 Şubat geliyor ister istemez aklima. Kabus…
🙏😭JESUS!!!!!
Sure hope that nobody got hurt.
Mother calling the boy’s name in the store and the boy yelling “I’m here!!” made me cry. I hope these people were ok. These two days have been quite overwhelming for us.
They’re used to it
God bless Japan
Better shut down the power plants this time
If this happened in America, there’d be armed looters stealing everything in sight.
Mexico in 2017 be like
My daughter os over there
Prayers from Pakistan 💔
The earth was mad towards Japan just because it went to 2024
I lived in japan from 96-2000. I still have nightmares from being in a 10th story apartment during earthquakes. And those were just regular tremors. I cant imagine the horror of an 8.0.
Prima
Prayers for Japan
Terrifying
Pray 🙏 to Japan always safe & happy
🙏🙏
Does anyone know how long it takes a wave from an earthquake to get from Japan to California?
😢I pray for Speedy Recovery ❤️🩹 & Help from Allies. :(My heart & thoughts are with you all..
Anyone noticed no one took anything from the stores. Also, you have to give it up to their infrastructure/buildings, they sure can take a beating.
under the circumstances, no one was looting
Stores left unattended but nobody is looting
What a worse day for an earthquake.
This is so scary. I was on vacation in Japan and left right when the earthquakes started, on the same night, almost in the same hour. Its so hard to think that I was just there a few hours before all this started. RIP to the 48 that died.
Japan had suffered so many tragedies, our thoughts and pray for the people in Japan, love from Saudi Arabia
Godzilla don’t play!!!
Praying for everyone 🙏🏽❤️
My God, why can’t these faultlines just sit still?? I wonder if this is what spawned the birth of the legend Gojira.
God please help them 😢😢😢
2024 just got even crazier
Lord have mercy on us all
Yabai yabai yabai!
It’s so scary to watch this. I hope everything is fine.
We’re days away from LAs 30th anniversary of the Northridge Quake. I feel for them. Quakes are no joke.
Japan always gets hit with a major earthquake about every ten years. It’s a very quake-prone area of the world.
What a way to start the new year
Dont take the elevators. 😳
RUN!!! ITS GOJIRA!!!!
Japan gets more than its share of earthquakes
The timing of this event leads me to believe that an earthquake weapon was used.
California is expecting a 18.6
Shocking
Prayers to you Japan…be safe…it could have been much worse I think…
Very bad biblical sign the fact with ravens, after the Earthquake.. Means nothing good!
Earthquake – 0
Japan – 1
United States should send troops to help Japan
If something like that happened in LA i guarantee there would be looting amidst all the destruction. Japanese people are so noble
No looting as always. ❤🇯🇵
Earthquake welcomed Japan on new year
As one of Japanese, we would like to thank everyone who has sent us numerous warm messages. Thank you very much.
Although I live in Tokyo and have not been directly affected by the disaster, I am still heartbroken by the tragic scenes that are transmitted daily in Japan. At the same time, I am intensely angered by certain serious issues.
Now, we would love to see the NBC report on the ‘impression zombies’, which is a unique and serious problem of Japanese social networking.
Since the 2011 earthquake, information on disaster prevention and rescue has been actively shared on social networking services in Japan, with X (formerly Twitter) playing a central role among these, and a number of Japanese public institutions also disseminating information via Twitter.
Originally, false and biased information was sometimes circulated, which was a problem. However, recently, in addition to this, there has been an increase in reposts with no content and accounts that simply copy and paste replies from other users’ reposts (impression zombies), which has become a major obstacle in the search for accurate information.
In particular, during the recent earthquake, many SOS posts were posted on X by local people who were stranded in collapsed houses, but the spread of SOS information was copied and pasted by ‘impression zombies’, making it difficult to know who was calling for help in the first place and whether they had already been rescued or were still calling for help. This has had serious repercussions, including making the SOS hashtag itself unusable.
This phenomenon is due to the monetisation programme introduced to X by Elon Musk in July 2023: one of the conditions for monetising an X account includes ‘more than a certain number of impressions on a post within the last three months’. This has led to a surge in the number of ‘impression zombies’, who appear mainly in reposts of buzzed influencers with the aim of earning advertising revenue and gaining views by having their replies seen. Most of their posts are emojis and irrelevant nonsense, often with usernames in non-Japanese, especially Arabic.
We would like to see media coverage focusing on Japan’s reliance on X for information gathering and Elon Musk’s inability to effectively combat malicious bots.
That was terrifying I hope nobody was hurt
Bro after they start fireworks so much earthquake starts
maybe this is a sign to apologize for all those war crimes
I’ve seen airplane videos that have been blocked for commenting and was wondering if the plane stopped why did no one take off their seatbelts and evacuate quickly. please world knows that in an emergency your fellow people are not always there to help but those who are not swift either. take your time respectfully and save yourselves. we have seen so many tragedies, thank god people got out unharmed. teach your kids also.
*This is New Despair Day.*
No looting ✊🏿
God help them! hope all is ok!!
Poor people 😢😢
We need to UNITE and pray for Japan❤
Son Goko and freiza are fighting again
😢😢😢😢😢
Everything is so shiny and clean there.
This is terrifying… I feel sad this is happening to Japan! 😢
Meanwhile, Confusion even at the summit of a mountain at an altitude of 3,000 meters; intense tremors that are “dangerous and scary”; the effects of the Noto Peninsula earthquake – the whole story
https://youtu.be/P4VeSia6zhM?si=Zl4pV05IsYwhebvS
The power of the earthquake is a reminder that that we don’t have control as a human species on this planet.
Japan please come to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
