Good morning, YouTubers.
Thank you very much for joining me today.
Today is Sunday, September 18, 2022.
Taiwan is still rocking and rolling,
and many people are wondering about
these earthquakes, if they're man made. Yeah.
You just don't know.
They do have the technology to do that.
The largest earthquake so far within the
last 24 hours was a magnitude 7.2.
That USGS.
Downgraded to a 6.9.
Here's the current view of the stream view. Yeah.
Lots of small earthquakes.
For some reason, this monitor wasn't working
properly prior to all these earthquakes.
Here's an example.
This is Saturday and it's 12:00.
Here Universal Time.
Let me go forward another 4 hours. Yeah.
And all of a sudden, bam. Yeah.
All the earthquakes. Yeah.
See where they changed it? Yeah.
They probably needed to adjust the monitor.
And we'll just go ahead in about 4 hours.
Let's see here and I'll pull it over
and we'll go ahead another 4 hours.
This is just one little section of that.
4 hours and then another 4 hours. Yeah.
See right here, they were adjusting the machine.
And then we'll go ahead another
4 hours and another 4 hours. Yeah.
Someone realized that the
initial earthquake was 7.27.3. Yeah.
It wasn't picking them up.
And there's what it is currently going to the
swarm program where I downloaded all the data. Yeah.
Look at these.
And let's pull it down a little bit.
It might go a little bit too
far because sometimes it does that.
All right, let's do this one here.
Yeah, look at that.
Many of these earthquakes USGS.
Is not reporting.
I don't see this one at 519 Universal Time.
Here's another large one at 6445-496-3294.
This one's supposed to be a 5.5.
No, it's larger than that.
This one here is supposed to be a 5.6.
No, it's larger.
This here is the one that they downgraded to.
A 6.9 from a 7.2. Yeah.
Look at that.
I wouldn't be surprised if they
have volcanic activity that this creates.
Many of these earthquakes are thrust earthquakes.
Yeah, the worst kind.
After the 6.9 or 7.2, they issued
a tsunami warning for mayako Island.
It was later retracted.
They are not reporting any people being killed,
but I know that's a bunch of baloney.
This here is the image of the
building that collapsed into the street.
Two people were rescued and two
people last reported were still trapped.
About 20 passengers were evacuated after a train derailed
in the area and supposedly no reports of casualties.
This here is a cement canopy.
That was for the boarding station
for one of the trains.
This here is from the same
area where the train derailed. Yeah.
Many of the roads are destroyed.
Here we got an image of uplift along one of the roads.
Bridges have been taken out.
Another screen capture of uplift on the road.
You can see hardly even see
the man's feet on this side.
Another image of that building, or actually maybe
two buildings that collapse into the road.
And another image of that building.
This is before the rescuers arrived.
Another screen capture of one of the roads and bridges.
Evidently, there was damage at a local school.
I have images of that, too.
They were in the gym.
Students were in the gym.
There's got to be people injured because along
the back wall, students were lined up watching
them play as the ceiling collapsed.
This here is another image of it as it was collapsing.
And students running the aftermath
of that falling ceiling.
Let me bring it in.
Yeah, that must have been some kind of air filtration.
Duck.
About 110 soldiers have been deployed to
Hollyanne County along the islands eastern coast
to assist with disaster relief.
That's not enough.
This here is an image from a motorcycle.
They were driving along this road
when the hill started to collapse. Yes.
There are people on motorcycles on
the other side of this debris.
This is when the tree fell into the road.
There you can see at least one of the motorcyclists
as the debris and the power line started coming down.
The guy that had the camera on
his motorcycle, eventually he backed up.
Here you can see large boulders coming down.
And there's another one falling off the side over here.
You can see one, two, three motorcyclists there.
And this is when it just started happening.
You can see the large boulders here.
Let me zoom in a little bit.
And this is just like
moments before it started happening. Yeah.
Notice the warning sign for rock slides.
Potential for rock slides.
And this is when he started backing up.
You see a power line here, a power line there. Yeah.
And the amount of debris that came down.
I tried to capture an image of
the train rocking back and forth.
And I don't know if it was raining during
that time, but there was water coming down.
You can see everyone kneeling and holding on.
Evidently hundreds of people are trapped
in or on the mountain roads.
Here's a road that the hillside collapsed and all
the cars were covered in this powdery dust.
Another image of the train.
I think they're downplaying it mostly because of
the conflict that's going on with China.
China has threatened to invade, so they
are going to take back the island. Yeah.
They're not reporting any deaths, which I
think is just a bunch of hogwash.
This evidently was a convenience store.
They're also saying the science park in the southern
cities of Taiwan, home to a major semiconductor factory,
said there is no impact on operations in Taiwan.
A semiconductor manufacturer, the world's largest
contract chip maker, said there was
no significant impact for now.
This is here a bridge.
You can see where it was connecting.
They got the plates, you know, and it just collapsed.
All right, here's some reports from that
6.9 that occurred today on EMSC.
And they're saying it was FNB.
Now this was 114 km southwest. This report.
So that would be almost 79 miles.
Very strong long term.
This one saying it was bigger than yesterday. Okay. Wow.
I felt this one.
A lot of squeaking of the building.
Like I said, I would not be sleeping indoors.
I would be outside because of damage
that occurred and making them even weaker.
On the first floor.
Was on the fifth floor last night.
For the big one.
This one was longer and more shaking.
On the third floor of apartment walls.
Cracked ornaments fell off shelves.
Pictures fell off walls.
Children were very alarmed by the shuddering.
Strong and violent. It was big.
Built and built over a few minutes.
Swing objects, no sound.
That was 194 km.
So that would be about 120 miles north.
Strong shaking.
Felt on the 6th floor.
Let's see.
Very shaky.
I thought 921 was going to repeat itself.
Huge quake.
Very strong.
First vertical and then
long lasting horizontal movement.
19th floor glass in the chandelier broke from heavily
swinging, barely able to walk to hide somewhere.
Well, yeah, I don't think they should have
downgraded it because most of these people are
saying it was bigger than the big one.
Lots of swaying creaking.
A building felt more intense than
the big one last night.
Much more feasible shaker just now.
Good sideways shake that lasted a long time.
Everything on the walls was moving, as
was all the glass sliding doors.
Creaking in the subway station.
203 north.
The government should have earthquake warning signals.
Big quake.
Very strong and violent felt the earthquake.
Yeah, they should have left it as a 7.2.
Many of you might have seen these
images that I showed you yesterday.
Taiwan lies between a junction of two
tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes.
Yeah, they have them all the time there.
More than 100 people were killed in
the quake in southern Taiwan in 2016.
And in 1999, more than 2000
were killed in a magnitude 7.3.
Now, here on Twitter, it says the National Fire
Agency said one person was killed by falling machinery
at a cement factory in the town of Uly,
which was close to the epicenter.
Massive parking lot.
Fire destroyed 25 vehicles in southern Taiwan.
Here it says three people were also rescued and
hospitalized after their car fell off a collapsed bridge.
The Taiwan Railway Authority said six carriages derailed
at a station after the platform partially collapsed.
According to the fire department, no one was injured.
I don't believe it.
Not for a minute.
So you can see fires over
here, but they're not reporting.
Here is a view from the
air of that building that collapsed.
And down the street from it right there, you can
see the roofs of those buildings that collapsed in the
image of the back of a car that was probably
crushed by debris falling from the buildings.
EMT is going in another image
of that building and another image.
Now, these are screen captures, short
little clip of the damage.
Look how that bridge just got twisted.
Just twisted in the uplift on the ground.
Yeah, horrible.
Another building that collapsed.
Yes.
If anyone was on that bridge, when it
twisted like that, it's like, oh, my God.
I would not be staying inside.
I would be sleeping outside.
Because many of these buildings are going to be
damaged from the main shock and the many aftershocks.
Another image from Twitter.
It says the road that leads to the famous flower
viewing site is covered by landslide due to the earthquake.
It said that almost 400 tourists
are trapped in the mountains.
Now, how many cars were crushed
or pushed off these mountainous roads?
All right, an elementary school
collapsed because of the earthquake.
Luckily, it was on the weekend, so no one was trapped.
Yeah, a lot of damage.
Definitely sending prayers to these poor people. Wow.
Another image of that collapsed
building with the car crushed.
All right, they're saying it's a 711
people being rescued from a collapse.
711.
And here it says that there were 79 people injured.
One person has been killed after a clerk
broke one of the windows to escape.
Firefighters took 3 hours to rescue four
more who are trapped in the building.
Here's an image of the collapse.
Lieutenant Bridge.
I'm sorry, I'm pronouncing that wrong.
According to the Ministry of Education, it said
72 schools across Taiwan sustained damage caused by
Sunday's earthquake, estimated to be 4.7 million US.
$147,310 reported as of 08:00 P.m. Last night.
Yes, it's hard getting information.
Yeah, I'm really digging for you guys.
Interestingly.
One was holding drills to
simulate a magnitude eight earthquake.
Two text messages will be sent to mobile phone users
warning of an earthquake hitting Taiwan at 09:21 A.m.
And an ensuing tsunami at 925 on September 21,
according to a statement of the minister on Friday.
More images of damages.
Now, this was supposedly from the 6.4.
See, I'm always telling you guys that any earthquake
could be a four shock for something much larger.
They're now saying that 6.4 was probably a poor shock.
There have been previously instances where a
major earthquake was later redesignated excuse me,
as a foreshock following another, bigger tremor.
Director of the CWB Seismological Center, while suggesting the
spat of quakes over the weekend may have been
triggered by the Central Mountain Range fault system, the
bureau earlier noted Sunday that it was uncertain whether
the release of energy will affect other faults.
All nuclear power plants in the country are also
operating as normal, according to the Atomic Energy Console.
So here's the image of that gym.
I don't know what they were playing, but anyway, so
you can see all the kids that were lined up
along the wall here when that ceiling collapsed.
And right here is where it started to collapse.
Let me see if I can get it to play for a second.
Where I'll just move it forward.
See the kids back there and they're saying
the schools were closed, but here in this
gym no, there was children here. Yeah.
I wonder how many were injured.
Another Twitter post of that real platform. Yes.
Sending prayers to everybody.
Landslides.
