Video shared on X, formerly Twitter, of the deadly earthquake that hit Japan on New Year's Day showed a street that looked like it was 'breathing.'

A 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Japan on New Year's Day resulting in collapsed buildings, fires, a tsunami and a death toll of at least 55.

Videos of the earthquake's destruction have been making the rounds on social media, but one video captured the ground seemingly "breathing" after the disaster has gone viral.


The footage posted by @mmmin76 on X, formerly Twitter, shows a street in Japan rising and falling repeatedly, almost as if it were breathing.

The caption, translated from Japanese, read:

"It was really too scary."
"There is currently no damage from the tsunami and we are safe."
"On my way to work for the night shift, the ground began to shake violently, cracking open right in front of me, and I was terrified."

The poster shared that the video was taken quickly as they were in a hurry to get to work at a hospital.

You can watch the footage below.

Viewers of the viral video were both mesmerized and terrified.











The poster of the video tweeted a few updates after the video gained traction, assuring concerned people on social media that they, and others in the area, were safe.

"I never thought that the video I put out would become so popular."
"I apologize if this video makes anyone uncomfortable. Thank you for worrying about me. I finished work safely and returned home earlier. Please rest assured that you are safe!"
"Sorry for not being able to reply to everything."

Absolutely terrifying. We're glad this person was okay!
