00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 The US East Lake suffered a rare earthquake yesterday.
00:07 The quake was located in New Jersey, and the scale was 4.8.
00:10 It was the strongest earthquake in the local area for more than 240 years.
00:14 Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.
00:18 All have obvious tremors.
00:20 Even the famous Statue of Liberty is also shaking.
00:23 The earthquake lasted 20 to 30 seconds and caused at least 11 earthquakes.
00:27 The maximum magnitude reached 4.
00:30 This earthquake is estimated to have more than 42 million people.
00:33 Although the earthquake did not cause any casualties,
00:37 the local authorities said that 46% of the possibility of another 3.0-scale earthquake or a stronger earthquake will occur in the next week.
00:48 The New Jersey-USA earthquake was 4.8.
00:53 The surrounding New York area was strongly affected.
00:57 The camera above the Statue of Liberty was shaking,
01:00 and the Statue of Liberty was shaking.
01:03 The United Nations General Assembly was also shaking violently and scared the attendees.
01:08 The meeting was interrupted.
01:10 Due to the earthquake, the flight to New York was forced to change the route.
01:14 Many passengers were inconvenienced by the local airport in Pennsylvania, which was located nearby.
01:19 Due to the fact that New York residents have less experience of earthquakes, a series of tremors caused a great panic.
01:24 After the earthquake, people who were frightened and lost their way emerged from the apartment and gathered on the sidewalk to ensure their safety.
01:31 I felt my bed shake. That's new lately.
01:34 I mean, I was just laying in bed and suddenly, like, it pushed me to the side.
01:39 It was scary. It was really scary.
01:42 At first, I thought there was, like, maybe an explosion above me or, like, they were doing construction or something.
01:47 It felt like, potentially, like the roof would come in on me.
01:50 It was, like, pretty weird and scary.
01:52 I did think that maybe the building was going to fall down for a second,
01:58 and I wanted to get out of the building when I felt that.
02:01 And Sean and I both went to the elevators pretty quickly and came out.
02:06 And now we're here at this coffee shop for safety reasons.
02:10 And by the way, you obviously don't know what to do when an earthquake happens.
02:14 Do not take the elevator.
02:16 Yeah.
02:17 It was like, "You better be in the elevator."
02:18 Oh, really? Okay.
02:19 After the earthquake, some New York businesses also grabbed their business opportunities and used the rare earthquake as a source of inspiration.
02:25 A temporary project designed a "I am a Survivor" T-shirt and launched the market.
02:30 It just talked about the New York City earthquake.
02:32 I went to my store manager. She created it very, very quickly, and we got it printed.
02:36 Actually, we just thought it would be kind of a joke to put in the window.
02:40 We had no idea any of this was going to happen.
