Several viral videos captured the moment the earth opened up during a massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Papua New Guinea.
The earthquake that hit the southwest Pacific island Sunday morning killed at least seven people and caused massive damage to infrastructure, the island's police commissioner, David Manning, said in a statement. A second earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 hit one hour after. Citizens and surveillance cameras recorded videos of the destruction all across the island, with some showing the ground cracking. A powerful earthquake of 7.6 magnitude ripped through Papua New Guinea on Sunday morning.
The seven deaths confirmed so far were all due to landslides resulting from the earthquake, Manning said. Dozens of wounded have been reported as well. However, the earthquake occurred deep underground, which lessened the damage it could have caused.For more videos, click here https://t.co/kq08X7QDH9 pic.twitter.
