Yep, they used to congregate every evening in the trees on the other side of the road of where I used to live. For several hours they'd chase each other, flying up all at once, move from tree to tree as a flock and whatnot. Pretty interesting to watch actually.

You need to update your conspiracy theories. The more recent ones would be like:

"That building was CGI and the people in the video were actors. The earthquake didn't happen."

I really hope so, but I feel that is unlikely. If this situation escalated quickly I don't want to imagine how many people were in there.

Because obviously people aren’t going to do it…

How is that a joke?

Thats the third different building I have seen collapse like that in Turkey on Reddit today.

I have a yorkshire which i assume is broken as i felt the earthquake she didnt give a fuck before stuff started falling and shaking

I thought it was a good joke. But hey, this is Reddit.

They look and sound like jackdaws. Isn't this pretty standard behavior for them

Can we mail this man some instacrete and have him huff it on camera?

I’ve seen a scene like this without earthquakes many times. I don’t think the birds know, they just out being social.

all of the birds are on top of all of the trees every morning?

you live in lovecraft country

You’re just immune to the earthquakes happening every morning

what are you on about? I see them like this every morning.

It was a joke, perhaps too grim at this moment, but it’s also true. Tons of people died from respiratory illnesses and cancer after being at 9/11 ground zero.

The high number of deaths is related to the construction methods of buildings in their region. I do believe there is zero emphasis to build for resistance.

First I thought Dave Mathews, then Dan Trachtenberg (pretty sure he loves stuff like this).

Good job bro

Uncle Don sounds like the type of guy that calls 911 and asks whats their emergency.

Jeez. If someone like my uncle Don lived there , there's at least one victim. Once he got swept away by a small avalanche. A planned avalanche. The highway dept brought down a big cornice in Officers Gulch. Uncle Don thought he could drive past the traffic barrier and get by before the avalanche got to I 70. So I'm sure he would have ignored any warning or cracks and pops coming from the building.

That’s kind of hilarious looking back at but yeah there’s no were to really go in a situation like this even for days after

Also it's cold af there right now, generators and designated shelters is 1st step.

all the birds get high in the branches. as soon as the tree shakes they can easily fuck off.

when you see the birds all in the trees like that, now you know.

Wait? You are already here, idiot.

Remember these images when you feel like bitching about US construction permits and inspections.

Also, cost of CA real estate include a lot of requirements so this doesn't happen to our properties.

During the earthquake in DC in 2011, we walked out of our office building to the opposite sidewalk—as the workers from the building across the street passed us heading to the sidewalk on our side. We all just looked at each other like Oh… There is no place to go. And that was nothing compared to this quake and its aftershocks.
