Earthquake causes 2.5-meter ground slip in first-ever footage

A security camera in Myanmar captured unprecedented footage of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake, showing the ground shifting 2.5 meters (over 8 feet) in just 1.3 seconds. This video provides the first direct observation of a fault line in motion, revealing a pulse-like rupture pattern of seismic energy.

The ground's movement curved, aligning with ancient geological marks known as slickenlines.

Researchers believe this footage can validate historic earthquake behavior and reshape our understanding of fault movement.

Calls are already underway to install more cameras in high-risk areas to improve earthquake prediction and analysis.
