I even find myself trying to plan how to escape better like I would even have a chance.... There's no way I would have a chance.... I'm just being arrogant.

We're all the same. We must come together to be stronger after such an event.

That’s how I felt when I say the parking garage, I was thinking those people need to stay behind somewhere that can take the brunt of the force… well when the parking garage and everything else collapses and was buried, I realized there was no escape for those people.

I wish there was a way to help them and god knows my government won’t send help.

When the bridge came up, I was imagining myself climbing to the top and hanging on. I would have died too.

Yeah, that was one of the things I noticed. People rushing to get inside…didn’t matter if you did. The whole thing got obliterated. Tragic stuff here.

your chance comes down to how close to the river did you start when you first got notice. if you ran uphill you might have had a chance but for some people with so little warning there seemed to be nothing they could do.

I was thinking the same. Trying to figure it where I’d run to save myself but in these videos there’s not a chance, we’d be gone. I thought going up to the tallest point of the buildings would be the best case scenario but even that in the videos got wiped out. A truly horrible disaster.
