Terrifying escape from Japanese landslide after deadly earthquake #shorts

Eyewitness video shot on Monday (January 1) showed Wajima residents escaping from a landslide after a deadly earthquake struck the Japanese city in Ishikawa Prefecture.

In the footage, a person is heard shouting “it’s crumbling”, “I can’t believe it” and “hurry, hurry mother, run, come here!” while another person is seen running from the landslide as it crashes down on a road, downing power lines and destroying several houses in its path. A crack is seen developing on the road.

The date and location of the video was verified by original file metadata. Buildings, trees and hills seen in the video also matched street view imagery from that location.

Witnesses at the site, who are seeking shelter in Kanazawa, Ishikawa’s capital, said the mountain above their home collapsed and engulfed all the houses below it. They added that there is a shortage of emergency supplies, including fuel, food and drinking water, in evacuation centres.

The full extent of damage and casualties remains unclear three days after the quake, which is already the deadliest in Japan since at least 2016, killing at least 73. Nearly 600 tremors continue to hit the peninsula, raising fears of landslides and further damage to the infrastructure.

  2. They tell us to plant trees and to please mother nature. Current weather catastrophes show that trees can be a risk to life. Are humans unable to identify future landslide areas? Adonai holds the switches to what happens in His world. Let Christ alone be praised. Remember He predicted all these things beforehand. Seek Him. Believe in Him. Only in Jesus is our lives safe eternally. Some of these perils even the powerful governments or wealth can't save you from.

  4. These poor people one thing after another it's almost like it's impossible to live in Japan? Maybe they can come to America? The Japanese deserve more hope in life.

  22. 동남 아시아에
    극악한 전쟁을 일으켜서
    무고한 사람들을
    살상한 댓가니라~~~
    천벌을 받은 것이다라는
