Lol.

Your credulity I wish I could say is charming. It’s not though.

Alright, ignorantfinnegan: The source video was near the epicenter.

Seismic Wave Behavior—Effect on Buildings

"The P wave, or primary wave, is the fastest of the three waves and the first detected by seismographs. They are able to move through both solid rock as well as through liquids. These are compressional or longitudinal waves that oscillate the ground back and forth along the direction of wave travel, in much the same way that sound waves (which are also compressional) move air back and forth as the waves travel from the sound source to a sound receiver. Compressional waves compress and expand matter as they move through it (Figure 2). Figure 1A shows that when a seismic wave comes from below, it bumps the house upward."

"S waves, or secondary waves, are the waves directly following the P waves.(snip) They travel about 1.7 times slower than P waves. Because liquids will not sustain shear stresses, S waves will not travel through liquids like water, molten rock, or the Earth’s outer core."

This is an account of the 1964 Anchorage quake effects. Read it and weep:

"Eighteen seconds after the first wave had flashed beneath them, the first of the massive secondary waves – the side-to-side, up-and down motions which had chased the P waves through the eighty miles’ distance – took hold of the Rustigan house, now groaning and straining, trying to keep up with its foundation, which was being yanked north, then south, then seemingly in all directions at once."

On Shaky Ground

But I doubt you have the intelligence to digest facts.

It had to have been fake since you don't understand it.
