A shocking video from a camera in an operating room at the moment of the 7.1 Richter earthquake in Japan on July 28, which left dozens dead and significant damage, was released a few days ago.
In the video captured by the operating room camera at a hospital in the city of Kumamoto, while the operation on a patient under general anesthesia was already underway, everything appears to be shaking.
As can be seen from the footage, almost no one and nothing could stay still, with two of the surgical team members hugging the operating table and the patient to protect him.

According to Japanese media, the operation was temporarily suspended, but resumed and was successfully completed a short time later. The hospital in question returned to normal operations on August 5.
The powerful earthquake struck the southern Japanese island of Kyushu on the afternoon of July 28, killing about 38 people and injuring more than 120 others.
Authorities said the powerful tremor triggered an explosion at a shopping mall, toppled a factory chimney and caused extensive damage across Kumamoto prefecture. ©LAPSI.al
