Whole buildings moving at ~4:30 in.

Was going to post the same - it gets really bad at 4:30. Cleaning up this mess is going to cost several GDP's.

$35bn apparently

Opera displays a Blank Page, Chrome attempts to play the video with no controls and Firefox tries do download the mp4 file. What on earth is going on here? EDIT: it was just taking too damn long. Could be my connection, though.

So, download and save it. (Right click, save link as.)

Then open it in your favorite video player. Use VLC if you don't have one.

VLC can play it directly too, but it's probably easier to just download it.

I chuckled a bit when the parked cars started bobbing, then made their way to the 'street' and floated away as if driving off to work. Everything else was horrifying.

It works here in Opera on Windows 7. My guess is that QuickTime is messing with you.

Is there a link to this video with a player/context? Direct link to the .mp4 is unusual and somewhat hard to share.

In Chrome I get controls when I mouseover the video (11.0.696.3 on Mac).

And somehow we think we are masters of the planet. When nature's true forces come to bear there isn't much we have ever built that stands in the way. Here's to wishing all those that survived a speedy recovery and my condolences to those who know people who didn't make it.

To be fair, theres nothing of nature's that stands in nature's way. It ruins it's own shit too. It's all entropy right?

Ruins or makes stronger?
