Powerful earthquake hits Pacific island nation of Vanuatu | DW News

[@rageagainstmachineo1491]

I am ashamed that until 5 minutes ago I wasn't even aware of this country. Prayers for the people.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Vanuatu is also located in the Earthquake Rim of the Pacific Ocean. San Francisco just had a big earthquake across from Vanuatu. Look at the plates underlying in the area.

[@GHOST-hd4wm]

The Atlantic ocean is widening while the Pacific is being compressed. This will lead to a worldwide cataclysmic event that will literally devastate every country on Earth. Do you understand?

[@ugeshreddy5826]

God bless people of vanuatu😢

[@louistan7560]

An opportunity for Australia to show its sincerity with help.

[@mycosys]

Hawaii is about the same distance - feel free to chip in

​@@mycosys... Wow, what a charitable thought...

[@mycosys]

@@curly__3 I guess since you think community is socialism and mistake community aid for charity, I shouldnt be surprised you dont know what chip in means either.

[@mycosys]

@@curly__3 The closest distance between Australia and Vanuatu is a little over the distance NY to LA. We have already promised Vanuatu is "family and we will always be there in times of need". But we are less than a 10th your size and just as far away. Feel free to do the same.

Everyone on Earth will experience something far worse than what the citizens of Vanuatu went through. The Earth's tectonic plates are shifting, resulting in the widening of the Atlantic ocean and the compression of the Pacific. The Earth is literally being twisted like a pretzel. Do you understand the magnitude of what is happening?

[@douglaswallace7680]

Please Correct My Assessment ? Plates move = earthquake . Subduction = one plate slides under the other = possible tsunami because water displacement . This one transverse = plates slide side to side , next to each other . Very powerful , but no tsunami because no water displacement .

How do you have a camera crew there and not being able to make 2 minutes of b-roll of damages?

[@MollyT-zk4ch]

It's a Pacific Island/country. Wow, this is a powerful earthquake! God help them…❤❤❤✝️

[@GHOST-hd4wm]

Are you blind to the fact that this will happen on a global scale in the foreseeable future?

[@balu67]

A powerful earthquake has hit the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, smashing buildings in the capital Port Vila - including the embassies of the United States and other countries. The quake had a magnitude of 7.3 and struck around 30 kilometres off the coast of Vanuatu's main island.

I could perceived the vibes of this EarthQuake in Buenos Aires, at 17.XII.2024 AD round 0300-0430PM, must have been Thundenrous vibe over there... I am terribly sorry. It is not easy to live in a Paradise. I has its moments of tribulations... Might God send some Guardian Angels.

Where? Why do I have an Olivia Newton John song in my head and a 1980 movie on my search list?

[@SINNER666-v3d]

Orchard owners in New Zealand that employ RSE workers from Vanuatu need to get them home NOW !!! THIS SHOULD BE NON-NEGOTIABLE !!! DON'T BE GREEDY NZ !!! WE NEED THEM HOME NOW !!!

Hey, DW. Get a new anchor. This bloke is condescending and quietly rude.

[@mickaelgodard]

[@arcades4243]

Just because you have no idea about geography ? 😂

[@Karen-h4r2b]

USGS, IRIS MONITOR SÍSMICO

[@mycosys]

The same distance as NY to LA, North-East of the NE coast of Australia, nearly half way to Hawaii.
