it pains me of how underrated this channel is
Thank you for your comment. Really hoping the views start to pick up again 😕
Seriously bro
@@DebunkedOfficialany good channel will eventually get attention, you just need to wait until the algorithm gives the channel a chance
Good videos btw, they're really good
And what frustrates me is that we will never know how many lives this video will save (directly with people doing the great advice here, or with the information being transmitted to other people, cancelling the previous popular misinformation)
@@DebunkedOfficialI know it's dependent upon what damage is done to the roads . However I am disappointed that you didn't include how we could ( if we're uninjured ) go to give blood at the nearest blood bank after an earthquake we've experienced has occurred . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
Stand on springs.

Or be in a plane or helicopter. Just need to predict the future first, so you can plan it.

Go to the nasa bunker
Be in space just have to predict it
As a person who witnessed 3 major earthquakes in Turkey, it just depends on the building. Thus if the building ever collapses you wouldn't know the spots which could create "triangle of life" (as we call) because you can't predict the collapsing style.
I live there too. There is no guarantee. Just chances. I found people have made survival bags in Turkey in case.
Rescue also comes days after as we saw in Turkey recently. So there are no guarantees.
It's all up to Allah
bro the turkey goverment thinks giving 500 dolars will fix your life
It is scary sometimes to think that you might actually die from following something that you believe will keep you alive.
After experiencing an earthquake, I think the fact is that when the earthquake starts, if it's a big earthquake, it's actually impossible for you to run. Earthquakes come unannounced without any prior warning or symptoms. Due to the sudden shaking, you can't even stand. So you'll basically just fall and sit on the floor. Don't try to stand or walk again until the shaking stops. Also the door basically just shut itself close due to the shaking. If there's anything nearby to hold on to then you could hold, but if there isn't any, you really have no time to go and find a triangle of life or under the table etc.
I agree with what you're saying, but remember that there are cities equipped with earthquake alarm systems that activate between 30 seconds and 2 minutes before a earthquake. In such cases, it's crucial to react quickly and leave the building as organized and fast as possible. On the other hand, it's possible to understand the architecture of your building to identify which walls provide the most stability to the structure. These are the least likely to collapse and offer a good chance for creating a "triangle of life.
Wish I had this video back in 2011.
I don’t mock Southerners anymore for freaking out about an inch of snowfall; when we had a rare earthquake here near the nation’s Capitol, everyone was pretty clueless about what to do.
What was funny was that my brother and his supervisor were on a call with a client across the country and they suddenly had to say ‘we’re going to have to call you back, we’re having an earthquake’. I can only imagine the client thinking ‘that excuse isn’t even believable!’
Wish I had this video back in 2001
In 2019 i was in a dangerous earthquake and moved the family outside because I was well aware the house had no potentially falling parts. Airconditioning units were ground level, and the roof was rated for tropical storms. This meant that outside was actually safer, even next to the building. inside was more dangerous due to the potential for internal panels, like the ceiling panels, falling.
This is important, knowing your building structure is essential to survival.
Very important video with a ton of information (as usual). The recent events in Turkey and Syria showed how important educational videos like this one are. Unfortunately debunked has no subtitles in other languages. The vast majority of people in Turkey and anywhere else in the world are less likely to keep up with such a high level of english. It might be also increase the reach of this channel, which could help to sustain this incredibly entertaining format of videos. Please keep up making those videos. I appreciate them a lot and hopefully more people can benefit from them.
This is a somewhat small channel that NEEDS more recognition it’s a amazing channel keep up the good work
Thank you 😊
Been through a number of earthquakes. The most powerful, and most damaging was actually in a place where you wouldn't expect an earthquake and was one of those rare intra-fault earthquakes that happen a good distance from a fault line. And there isn't fracking or other such activities which could result in such. This was more due to the fact that a lot of the buildings there were old. I was outside and walking home in it. Heard it coming, and was beside the road, got to the side of the road and stayed still. Was interesting to feel the ground ripple under my feet. Once the shaking stopped, I continued on and actually ended up telling people I ran into that it was an earthquake when they asked me what it was.
And no, that wasn't the first earthquake I experienced in the Eastern United States. You actually get a fair number in the Appalachian Mountains, though those are either too weak to feel, or are fairly small when you do feel them. It was just the first one I went through that was well away from that region. Central Virginia, to be precise. Considering that I've been on the West Coast and experienced a number of earthquakes there, I thought that the earthquake I went through in Virginia was fairly small, less than a 4 on the Richter Scale. Didn't expect it to be a 5.8, which is close to the limit for what an intraplate earthquake can do.
Modern construction that is built to code (I am using American standards here) is decently robust, so most shy of a major quake won't do significant damage to modern houses. You will need to check your foundation and any brickwork, though, as that IS likely to have taken damage, but the wood frame is likely to have weathered it fairly well. Older buildings, such as any built before 1950 and especially older, on the other hand, are likely to take significant structural damage, even if it isn't obvious.
Been with this Chanel since 30,000 subscribers, congrats on your current success, more is on the way for sure
Thank you 🤞
@@DebunkedOfficial more than welcome
New Subscriber . Very Underrated
I’m from Marrakesh nd I’m here after the earthquake that happened. We are not used to have them here so it is a very useful video thank you
Thanks, it really helped😀
My schools policy for tornados/earthquakes was to line everyone up in an (interior) brick hallway, and have everyone sit criss-cross with their heads between their legs, and hands over our head. Always terrified me the thought of being stuck like that if there was an earthquake. Mother nature is truly terrifying.
Thank you so much
Perfect
In Japan we have evacuation route signs and in major buildings and work places we have tsunami/flood risk area maps and best places for high ground. We also have drills every few months.
the problem with that quake emergency kit is if the quake happens between 2-5am, the majority if not everyone is going to forget about the kit and try to get out of there house, a quake is unpredictable
"Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
Nice to see the condom principle applies to so many things. :3
lmao
How do you justify staying on your bed? It seems to me that getting under the bed would protect from falling debris better.
I was glad to hear why the triangle of life is mostly not applicable - a theory that I had believed.
If u wanna make sure “is it an earthquake occurring right now “ u can just turn your fan off for few minutes and then carefully look at it if it moves or swings without any source so it’s definitely an Earthquake
Some other important things to consider as well: remember that there are cities equipped with earthquake alarm systems that activate between 30 seconds and 2 minutes before a earthquake. In such cases, it's crucial to react quickly and leave the building as organized and fast as possible, or know which place is the closest and safest to be in case your building collapses or there are falling objects. . On the other hand, it's possible to understand the architecture of your building to identify which walls provide the most stability to the structure. These are the least likely to collapse and offer a good chance for creating a "triangle of life. And if you are in a high-rise apartment during an earthquake, it is often recommended to ascend to the top rather than descend, to avoid the risk of other floors collapsing on you in the event of a collapse.
I like this channel. There's a lot of cool stuff here...
Thank you! Welcome if this your first time. Glad you like our videos 👍
I've felt a few while studying in Japan for a year. The first earthquake I felt while doozing in bed and I was so confused. Luckily no major ones.
thanks. this is good advice.
should be a part of school curriculum
An eye opener
OMG - what normal person is going to put together an earthquake emergency kit, move items down to their lower shelves, secure their fridge to the wall, designate a meeting plan????? I lived in LA for YEARS without anything like this and was in probably the largest one in decades somewhere around 2001. It was weird, loud, books fell, windows down the street broke- but we all survived.
Well, it's a pretty standard practice in Japan. There are even whole sections in stores dedicated to earthquake-proofing your home and emergency kit items. Sure, it's not like literally everybody's doing it, but many people do.
Video starts at 06:42.
Thank god i watched this fr
Two things I would like to point out in this terrific video (thanks for dispelling some real bugbears of mine!) #1 you misspelled the #howtosurvive hashtag ;) Sorry, but as a proofreader of sorts, that's the weird stuff I notice!
Two - when you said stay put on the beach, one hazard that you didn't mention came to mind and that's liquefaction. (I don't live in an earthquake prone area - I'm in the UK - but I did study some geology and this came up in the course, as did Hubby [edit: he did the course, no earthquake was involved in us meeting. I shan't mention the earth shaking, either. I didn't really read through properly. Baaaaad proofreading DM!] I just ran my thoughts past him and he agrees, so if we're wrong, you can blame our uni!).
Soft ground types, such as sand and loose soil - sometimes found under badly compacted foundations for buildings and roads/pavements, as well as in open ground - _can,_ under certain circumstances have a lot of water in them. Loose ground can act as if there's capillary action. Shake the ground with enough force, and even a fairly deep water table can get "sucked up" (for want of a better description) and turn the ground into essentially what becomes a very thin quicksand. There is film of a commercial building in Japan (from the 50s or thereabouts iirc - it's in black & white) sinking into the ground as water "pours up" to the surface outside it.
You can replicate the start of liquefaction by stamping hard on wet sand (it only has to be wet just underneath the top layer, so don't assume that dry sand isn't wet, as it were) at the beach. Do it quickly, like running on the spot, and you should soon see water coming up and forming a puddle. That's a _very, _*_very_*_ basic illustration_ of how it will start. (You'll actually compact some of the sand if you do this, that doesn't happen in an earthquake, it's the opposite.)
Obviously, follow the advice re tsunamis as a point of urgency. I'm also _not_ saying run up the beach _while_ the ground is shaking; that will be entirely dependent on your specific circumstances. Some sands are harder to run on than others without the ground shaking! But look for videos on liquefaction (there's bound to be one on CZcams) so you can see how it looks. This will help prepare you to move quickly, even if the ground is still shaking, _if_ it starts to liquefy rapidly.
As stated well in this excellent video, always be aware of your surroundings, even if you don't live in an earthquake-prone region. Intraplate earthquakes happen, as do any number of other natural and man-made disasters. DON'T PANIC! as the late, great Douglas Adams said. Just open your eyes, be aware of every door, stairwell, and other exits, as well as obvious potential hazards, and then go about your life. The more you do it, the quicker you'll get at doing it. You already do it to some extent on entering somewhere new, you're just not aware of it. Train yourself to be aware!
Thank you for all that information! We’ll look into liquefaction if and when we make a Tsunami Survival video. And thanks for spotting the hashtag it was oddly the first suggestion that YT gave and I didn’t double check it 🤦♂️
I thought I heard him say, not to stay on beach because of TSUNAMI.
Welcome! Are you new to Debunked?
Nope been here for a while. Much love to the vids
Nope I’ve watched it for a while. I love this content though.
No
Yup. And the animation of the building collapse was reminiscent of 9/11, so yeah it does happen to non-rural, industrialized areas too unfortunately 😢
What application did you use to make the video? (Like the people, buildings, animations, etc.) Thx!!! :D
Thanks for asking. We design the graphics in Adobe Illustrator, animate them in After Effects and then edit it all together in Premiere.

Instead of the tapping method, if you are entirely stuck unable to move, Whistle, it takes less breath then breathing and slightly louder depending, but I'm not the expert, so if I got anything wrong let me know.
Just stick with the tapping method if you don't have a whistle and you also don't know how to whistle.
Really enjoyed the part where using a pillow for protection.
Just open developer console irl and turn on noclip. Any debris will pass right through you harmlessly. Can also turn on god mode for extra protection or in lieu of noclip. As for how to open irl developer console, you have to check “allow dev con access” during character creation. If you wait till after you are born it’s too late.
I must admit, this subject matter makes life in the UK seem more appealing 👍
triangle of life is actually consciousness with the three components: thought, emotion and action
Make a video about how to survive a volcanic eruption? Suggestion for video?
Sounds exciting! Scarily I visited the volcano in New Zealand the year before it’s eruption. It was a bit of a wake up call with some of my more risky travels 😬
Here in Singapore our metro stations are bunkers. Should I go there in an earthquake?
Just to be sure, does the "say inside, don't run out" method of survival take into consideration the survivorship bias? As in, it's pretty bloody difficult to account for all the people that ran out the building in the first place.
If it's a big earthquake, it's literally impossible to run when it's shaking.
As someone who has lived through many earthquakes this is far too complicated. Just buy moonshoes and always wear them. It also helps with lightning strikes
What what is the yellow?
Man I sure love living in one of the white areas of the map so this is just fun to watch
Triangle of life saves many people in earthquakes. Going under desk is stupid unless its legs are thick metal
Soooo, basically just HOPE to not get injured
I almost had a large mirror hung by mom with a small nail kill me in Seattle by one. I liked how my death and kind of dumb boss in San Jose showed me what to do, he did a hula dance and pointed outside.
I'm fortunate to be from the UK, you get very little natural disasters
Never say never :)
I live just outside Melbourne Australia and last year, for the first time in my 68 years of life, my house shook, a wall cracked and a window was broken.

Skip to the 7 minute mark to hear the actual content on how to survive an Earthquake.
The only thing I would object is staying in bed. Although it is in theory a part of "triangle", I would prefer to lay on the ground right beside the bed. If the ceiling should fall on you, at least you have some chance of survival. I cannot see a downside to this.
Yes, but for the vast majority of buildings they will not collapse, so just getting up puts you at risk of simply falling or being hit by falling objects.
I think they were referring to a disabled person, since that's what they were talking about just before that.

9:52 Jumpscare warning
I am a civil engineer and I'd say door frames are NOT sturdy. They are in shape of rectangles and when pushed on the side they became parallelogram. Simple enough.
Triangle of life is probably arguable cause there ARE a lot of total collapses in massive earthquakes in China. 1976 Tangshan and 2008 Wenchuan. Civil engineering technology improves in the recent years to design the structures to at least keep their columns intact (the floors may fracture or fall but columns can't or it's sandwich) so that the building will not collapse like 911. However not all buildings are built on basis of qualified engineering schemes. Stupid peasant builders!
Just shake wit the Earth as well so the energy is dispersed evenly through your body. COME ON MAN!!! THAT'S TOO EASY!!
😆 Brilliant. That could be a thought experiment 🤔

Wouldn't it be safer under the bed if you follow the logic of being under a table or desk?
Maybe - but it's probably more likely you'll have a table or desk where you are than a bed.

Obviously, the safest place to be during an earthquake, is flying in an airplane!
But what if there’s nowhere to land and you’re low on fuel? 🤔
@@DebunkedOfficial haha, I did think of that, but odds are still in your favor because it's highly unlikely all of the runways are going to be disrupted. I mean unless you're very low on fuel, you wouldn't likely have to land immediately, and even if they are destroyed, there's usually other airports within landing distance, not to mention the possibility of landing in a field, or roadway. There's always the chance of that perfect storm where everything goes wrong, in that case, you might be toast!
Unless that earthquake is from a volcanic eruption that’s spewing ash at the plane!

Okay. This was a well made video, don't get me wrong, but not only did you take 11 and a half minutes to get to the things you were debunking you only did 2? It was really disappointing. I can go almost anywhere for good quake survival tips but what I came here for was to see you debunk the BAD tips. Not to mention the very unnecessary history lessons. Sorry, but this video was a massive fail. It was 90% survival tips and history and 10% debunking.
10:35. Was a stupid reason for not taking the elevator. Best is the power is out youll be stuck .
And if you do take the stairs itts more of a success chance but you stil risk injury from stairs collapsing with the building
If you get stuck it's worse
Imagine building collapsing while ur in the elevator. I dont see a way of survival
And if you use the stairs and be quick enough you might leave before aftershocks arrive
But its shitty both ways
What if ur living on the 12 floor and not using the elevator
