At 4:50 , that hotel is actually in my city , it used to be called the intercontinental hotel (now being called grand hotel Bucharest) and it is so strange seeing it collapse as it is one of the city's sky line icons. Also this hotel actually withstood a huge earthquake in 1977 , with a magnitude of 7.4 degrees on the Richter scale.
This is the huge gap between reality and these kids phantasies graphics without any knowleges of constructions of buildings. Well to see on the hotel in your city: I remember well pix of Bucharest heavy demaged by that massive earthquake, but the tower of this hotel was standing almost untouched in the middle of ruins of lower buildings around, which confimed its well calculated, designed, and constructed structure, resisting without any demage also such strong earthquake there.
Well thats the key thing here ...im fairly sure the real thing isnt made of square slabs ....this is only really a physics simulation and not an actual earthquake sim
This has just made me realise how amazing of a game this would make. Two modes: Campaign and Sandbox. The game sort-pf functions like Teardown, where it's voxel based but instead of destroying stuff, you're a building contractor that has to build a building capable of withstanding a set magnitude earthquake and as you progress through the campaign you unlock better materials, tools and equipment to make your buildings safer. Then in sandbox mode you can spawn in one of a number of preset maps and you can build unlimited stuff and start earthquakes of any desired magnitude to help test build ideas. I'd pay a solid £30 for a game like that ngl.
Totally agree with you!!! There's was a somewhat similar game called Bridge it but it was only 20% close to what you described 😁 would love to find a developer and present this idea!!
@@EarthquakeSim Well a good business case is that it would be a very one-of-a-kind game, so a good market potential. I hope some day somebody makes a game like that as it would absolutely fill my soul because I love building games and destruction games. Perfect mix plus it could also add a layer of education as to how earthquakes work and effect the environment, lots of potential
Visited the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. There was a representative from the National Parks Service saying that the bridge could withstand an earthquake of about 8 on the Richter scale. Someone asked, "What if the earthquake is stronger than 8? The representative responded, "If the earthquake is bigger than 8, San Francisco will have bigger problems to worry about than the bridge" LOL
I will BREAK the NEWS for you... but first! Thank you all for the amazing feedback I've got for my recent hospital simulation! With deep feelings of excitement, I would like to announce that some of my 3D earthquake simulations will be featured in a documentary called: "Forecasting the Big One", which will be streamed on Curiosity and hopefully beyond. I have never received better news in my life and I think this is proof that hard work will always pay off. Honestly, YOU were the heart and soul of keeping myself highly spirited and motivated to produce the best earthquake simulations on RU-vid and perhaps in the world! You...Are...AMAZING because You...Created...THIS channel.😊
Soy de la ciudad de Mexico y fue muy sorprendente ver las simulaciones tanto de la torre latinoamericana asi como del puente golden gate y del los Angeles city hall.
Amazing content! I am not sure if I missed this or not, but for context, what scale earthquake are these simulations in? Or are they varied? If so, could you please put the richter scale in the corner of each simulation that would be amazing!
How about the actually recordings of a real life earthquakes as input for these disasters. You could also drop them on your fotage as of date, magnitude and the recording station.
There are skyscrapers with WAAAAAY more floors that Torre Latinoamerica. For example, Wisma 46, Wilshire Grand Center (62 floors), the Empire State Building (102 floors), Taipei 101 (101 floors,) and possibly the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. (163 floors)
3:42 those buildings look and fell a lot like the ones in Turkey/Syria, are said ones similarly designed? (I’d like to see them) Also what about a classic three floor brick unit with balconies similar to said above ones?
Yes actually. The one on the right especially. Most buildings in Turkey have a sort of overhang that's supported by beams most of the time made of wood or concrete. The large space at that part, mostly for small stores, garages or other means, is the first to fall in the earthquake and this loss of support causes the rest of the first floor to experience the full weight and force of the building and then collapse, after which the entire building falls down. I don't know much about buildings in Syria especially with the situation there but in Turkey this is the issue. That and, of course, the irresponsibility towards actually implementing the building codes adopted by the government, all for saving money rather than saving lives.
I have a question.... what magnitude do you use. Do you use like 7-9 magnitude? Because i think all of the towers in this video can stay up if it was like a 1-5 magnitude earthquake
@@imsagamer4671 Couldn't find any info about 42 storey building that collapsed in the earthquake and İ think there is no 42 storey building in the earthquake region,while it's a part of underdeveloped region in Turkiye.
"Hey O'Neil, mind coming this afternoon to finish the job? You see, I thought when were piling the bricks you might have found time to cement them together as well."
Thank you!! Join everyone in promoting earthquake preparedness and safety 🙂I hope this channel will become a great resource for people around the world who live or don't live in earthquake prone areas.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but.. I thought that industrial buildings/skyscrapers had like rollers or some type of wheel system underneath them to rock the building back and forth to keep it from collapsing during an earthquake or severely high winds
Depends on the county, city, and age of the building. Some newer buildings and historic buildings do have a system, but the majority of buildings do not.
The number 8 is probably the closest thing to what happened in Turkey last month and it’s somewhat scary how those buildings collapse with seemingly no or little warning before getting completely destroyed
There is the possibility that the person who created the simulation didn't take all of the actual physics into account. We can't simply watch this and trust it 100% as what would happen in reality.
Yep! This is just a simulation though 😁 and I think I have used a Mercalli earthquake intensity of XI, if the epicenter of the quake would be right underneath the city
Eiffel Tower, a Gothc cathedral, sport stadium, Petronas Tower, Brooklyn Bridge, Parthenon, Washington Monument, cruise ship in port, Sydney Opera House, giant redwood
The thing i love about your vids is the no language barrier! Im from the uk and if you were Serbian (for example) i would still understand since its basically a simulation!
As a Turk, I would like to say that there are many buildings that do not comply with earthquake regulations. They run away from materials for a little money and the houses are easily demolished. Actually, in the state that does not make crime inspections, an earthquake is expected in Marmara, but we are not ready at all, I don't know what to do with 60% of the buildings in Istanbul are illegally built
That's interesting about the magnitude depicting what will be considered "the big one." The Loma Prieta quake in 1989 was "only" a 6.9 but brought down stacked freeways and caused a lot of devastating damage. The Northridge quake caused similar damage, loss of life and injuries and was "only" a 6.7. The intensity of both quakes was IX (violent). Both caused billions in damages. The point is that it seems like there would be more things to consider other than magnitude, alone, to define the "big one" like duration of the quake, the number of people affected by it, the epicenter, etc. IMO the Loma Prieta and Northridge quakes were definitely "big ones." 😊
I would like to know what magnitude earthquake your simulating. Los Angeles City Hall is now Base Isolated, and it would take a sizable earthquake to knock that one down.
Someone should have a serious talk with the contractors of these buildings that seem to have the integrity of foam boards, wood popsicle sticks and glue sticks.
Airport, school, harbor(add some water physics), Japanese skyscraper, stadium, scene, ski resort, hospital, power plant( nuclear, solar, wind, hydropower, coal), military base, mine, construction
Magnitude is the magnitude of an earthquake, and how much damage it causes depends on its distance. Also, it depends on the frequency of the shaking, and buildings have their own resonance frequency, so I don't know if this video will really lead to disaster prevention.
I would like to know the Richter scale which magnitue was used in your simulations. And how about starting with a low magnitude and then increasing it. You welcome
Each video was also published separately on my channel and you can find there the magnitudes and all the details :) Best wishes and thanks for joining!!!
This is great I love watching this it's very relaxing and comfortable I'll give you an A on the video matter fact I skip that'll give you an A-Plus on the video on the sound quality it really sucks and I have sorry but I'm speaking from from my heart and it is just hurts my ears
Kinda sad to think about People and pets running down the stairs to escape or taking cover/holding on to something only for it to collapse on them or eitherway
