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.
