Taiwan earthquake: Swaying swimming pools and wonky buildings captured on video 

I think taiwan is very poor country but they have many many tall buildings

​@myrene123 not China building

@@myrene123 Don't lie, it's the Taiwanese who built the solid house, not the crappy house from China

@@putinia3411 Taiwan’s GDP per capita was ranked 14th in the world, not poor at all.

The original comment is a bot.

He had a wave machine for a moment 😂

but I'm sure he is peeing in the pool

@@putinia3411 Or worse.

Agreed!

Ya he’s probably drunk.

It actually 7.2

​@@austinkuo2239 Does that make it any better?? 😢😒

Well done civil enforcement, no construction company builds well out of choice.

🤣🤣

Japanese design

Made... in Taiwan.

If built in China it will collapse even without earthquake

All those threats about China invading Taiwan and now this, they are just living in the moment

That's not fun. When encountering an earthquake, it shakes slightly at first, and then accelerates in less than 2 seconds. The guy must have been swimming when there was a big earthquake and it was difficult to walk, so he stayed there.

It's not the infrastructure It's GOD. I hope things wouldn't get any worse but the world is getting closer and closer to end times. Wish everyone well take heed and God bless

​@@missg5385 no, it was them. Stop relating this to your god.

@koro-cookie-pookie I always respect others opinion so I will leave it there but, isn't my God yours and every one else on earth also?

@@missg5385 No. Its not. Not everyone is religious. And if God was real, wouldn't he have prevented this from happening?

@koro-cookie-pookie I got my answer stay safe 🙏

Yeah, those swimming pool shots always deliver.

That was so cool. If that water was warm and it wasn’t the end of the world I would definitely try that. Looked so fun. Those crooked buildings remind me of Gatlinburg Tennessee. They have a building built to look upside down. Also those rocking vehicles the bus and being on scooters on a bridge would be very unsettling. You’d have to question of the integrity of everything after that. Notice. No looting.

Because it's democracy ☝️

Both democracy and Japanese influence

They say they have earthquakes a lot because they are right on a fault line. They know this thus the buildings are designed to take it.

Because they reguarily get earthquakes, so they have been forced to make their buildings better The ones that fell I assume were in lower income areas and possibly had soft story issues. To my understanding, knowledge about how to build buildings to withstand earthquakes has greatly advanced and certain building styles have been identified as very vulnerable. I live in SF, and we're similarly earthquake prone, and yet we had a bunch of buildings that were soft stories, and the government basically forced owners to retrofit for public safety sake iirc. Newer buildings need to be earthquake resitent (I cannot explain how millennium tower got approved...) Vs In areas with less earthquakes, they have had less a need. Buildings get built for the needs of the areas. Like, our smaller buildings are mostly wood construction here due to cheap wood, but also harder to make em earthquake proof. Vs, in parts of Europe (Germany and England?), it's a lot of stone/brick, as that's what works for their areas and they don't tend to have earthquakes.

What is the name of that city in China?

But note, these buildings are 50 years old and though the ground level collapsed and the building is on a lean, the buildings stay intact meaning most people survive and can still get out. Still impressive, the main thing to avoid is buildings collapsing in on themselves, that's when lots of people die or get trapped.

Praying does nothing

@@Wesley-Stokey To be fair, it does make some people feel better. But of course it does not affect the earth.

@@Wesley-Stokeyshut up I’m from taiwan

Amen and Amen

Im tough too 😭

AMEN GOD is coming Fallen angels of apocalypse Kingdom of pharaohs The earth planet universe is dead extinction

Amen

Do we pray to Buddha or ?

How does that work? I mean how / why should he protect people from himself?

@@seeharvester I think Buddha is in order, since Tawian is predominantly Buddhist/Taoist. 🤔

Propaganda?

What a sweet neighbor huh

@@eloisekimi3978😂 I like this sarcasm.

steel*

Those affected are already dead, missing, homeless...how is 'god's blessing' going to help them?

@@verko5292 every one needs God’s blessing. Everyone can pray for His Grace. Bless their lives on earth and their souls in heaven.

That something can easily collaps and cover forever, genius.

The Camera man always survives. Big brain move there.

​@inisipisTV lol fr, thanks for the idea. I'll do that next time.

Why would god have mercy? Wasn't he who caused this (and all other) earthquake in the first place?

What would they do? ...Make god want to change his plans for us?

Pool water pours from the top floor..

Swimming pool

你離開地球吧！😂

@@viewflyhsu6776 i see your faculty is subpar. Northern Europe been awesome for many centuries. why u people love to visit our old old building and structures

@@ometofu 你們只剩下古老的建築? 你要不要來參觀我們的台北101? 你要不要來參觀我們的台積電? 在21世紀台灣人掌控人類的科技 北歐只剩下古老的建築?

而且，你住在一個持續有地質變動的星球 卻說不要住在有地震的地方!? 包括火星都有地震 唯一能夠讓你這種弱小的人生活的地方 只有太空! 你們北歐人太弱小! 哪裡都無法讓你們生存
