[World Now] Mart product ‘Warr’… Philippine earthquake 800 aftershocks followed

A grocery store in Abra, Philippines, on the 27th.

The shelf starts to shake a little, and after 5 seconds, items fall from the shelf to the bottom.

The shaking continued for more than 10 seconds, and in an instant, canned beer and soft drinks poured dizzyingly on the floor.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Abra, the island of Luzon, Philippines.

As the pillars of the building collapsed, the ceiling of the first floor of the building hit the car, and the three-story building was leaning almost as if it were about to fall over.

The ruins of the church were scattered around the building, and the altar inside was almost destroyed.
