This is real! …A …
This is real! …A earthquake hit all over the islands. This even happen on the island of Oahu of where I’m from. I was sleeping, when I felt my bed shook. Then after that, the power went out.

But again, the …
But again, the shaking was violent in Hana. There was extensive damage and many landslides in the area. There is NO visible shaking in this video – not even the tiny little palm tree leaves infront of the camera when the shaking is strong enough to knock over objects. That is the hallmark of a fake earthquake video.
And again, someone in Hana who lived in the area shown in this video said there were no clouds that day.

The strength of the …
The strength of the ground motion can vary widely depending on soil conditions and distance from the epicenter….
It’s my opinion that this is a real video.

you’ve proved you can jump up and down with a camera.

This area is, in …
This area is, in fact, about 60 miles from the epicenter. And I was, in fact, much closer to the epicenter. I was in South Kohala on the Big Island, which is the area that experienced the most extreme ground shaking (1g+ was recorded). However, I have a good view of Hana, being that it faces where I live. I have photos I took that day within a minute or so of the earthquake showing Hana and East Maui, and it was a completely cloudless day.
Maybe this is a good fake, but I think it’s fabricated.

You are not taking …
You are not taking into acount location. If the shaking was more intense for you, you were probably closer to the epicenter.
This video clearly shows the arrival of the P waves at :33, the arrival of the S waves at around :45. The 12 second difference indicates that this recording was about 60miles (96km) from the epicenter.
I have not looked up the distance from the Hana Hotel to the Epicenter, but this could be another way to confirm this as real, or a scientiffically accurate fake.

In addition, the …
In addition, the same earthquake can feel very different depending on your location.
When you are close to the epicenter the shaking starts stronger, shakes harder, and ends quickly and abrubtly.
The her away you are from the epicenter, the shaking starts slowly and builds. Rolling motions can be felt for quite awhile at a distance, yet are not felt at all close to the epicenter.
The condition of the sky is not an issue unless you were in the same location as the video.

Yes fool, we know the earthquake actually happened (I was there), but this video is not real.

This video is …
This video is certainly a fake. I was there for the earthquake, and while this is a good fake only as a result of the subtle, un-directed voices in the background, the sky was completely clear that day. The shaking also was more intense and got more intense until it suddenly stopped. In this the shaking increases and then decreases. Plus you can’t see ANY movement in this film, whereas in real life whole trees were shaking and dropping branches and leaves.

its real…you even see some things on the houses porch shaking

If this is fake …
If this is fake than the person who put this together is an expert on earthquakes. This is exactly what a quake would look and feel like at that distance from the epicenter.
In addtion, this producer got some great actors as their comments were soft, subtle and obviously not directed at the camera, as so many amateur quake fakers do.
The shaking/vibrating is hard to see on the trees because of the distance from the camera, camera shake and YouTube’s destruction of video quality.

i’ll get in trouble for saying this, but go screw yourself. i was in it. sure it didn’t do like the mainland quakes but you try waking up with your house shaking and your neighbors yelling “earthquake……..ya

I just watched a video of a real earthquake, and the “items” in the video shook much differently. anway you people believe what you want I don’t care!
April 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am
the branches on the …
the branches on the palm trees are too stiff, they should have been moving more “violently” from all that “shaking”, instead of going up and down the way a camera would shake. every thing seems to be moving in one direction. like you would take a tv set and shake it.

it isnt fake, im …
it isnt fake, im from hawaii…plz research stuff before ripping on it. Hawaii has lots of earthquakes, and theyre all varied inn depth, which can decide how damaging an eq is…plus, its hawaii! we no care, we have active volcanoes, thats why everyone is so calm…im not from maui, but thats real cuz i remember…wasnt rlly felt that much in hilo, though i do remember the aftershock…

this is not fake?. …
this is not fake?. we have tourists they film this , like the sunrise, but im not sure where this is filmed. and this did happen. it knocked out all the power in freaking hilo. for like a day and a half if i remember right. But im not totally sure, lol i was like wtf cuz it shook where lived. no tsunami though.
April 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am
why is it fake I …
why is it fake I was in Maui when it happened and it shook the same and lasted exactly as long as in the video. And also made the same noises. Trees don’t always shake during earthquakes. It all depends on how it shakes, like this shake was side to side so the trees don’t move as much. Also remember the camera was proped up and at 0:57 the window on the house is shaking and you can see something fall inside of the house and someone running before the camera zooms over.
