Earthquake felt in Xian, China, over 500 miles away
My fellow U.S. students and I, studying abroad in Xian, China from
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, were taking pictures on a
bridge on the campus of Jiaotong University when we felt the bridge
moving! We soon realized it was an earthquake and ran off the
bridge and I started filming the bridge and the water underneath
that was rushing all over the place, when moments earlier it was
perfectly calm. Chinese students later told us we were over 500
miles away from the epicenter of the earthquake and we still had
trouble standing, along with the aftershocks. It was quite an
experience! We had no idea how much destruction this earthquake had
caused and we hope, along with other Jiaotong students, for some
light in such terrible devasatation.
