This is the first (and currently only) known instance of a fault line motion being captured on camera.
I ain't got words for how crazy seeing that is. The world was just like 'move the background 6 feet to the right' and then it happened.
That's absolutely crazy! Insane that the land can just "slip" like that. Imagine how much pressure must have been building for the plate to finally move.
Keep your eyes on the ground outside the fence, and the row of potted plants in the background.
Thank you for this, on the first watch I thought: "ok the concrete cracked... Is that it?!" After seeing your comment and researching, it's astonishing
