00:22A terrifying earthquake video is going viral,
00:26as Indonesia reels from a powerful 7.7 magnitude quake.
00:34The video shows what appears to be a packed school hall.
00:38Students sit in rows as the room suddenly begins to shake violently.
00:42People grab onto each other, chairs move, the camera trembles.
00:47Then the panic intensifies.
00:50Students look toward the ceiling as debris begins falling.
00:53Some start running for safety as parts of the roof appear to give way.
00:58The scene is chaotic, frightening and difficult to watch.
01:02And the video does not end there.
01:07It later cuts to what appears to be a warehouse or storage area,
01:11where blue containers, crates and other objects shake and shift as dust and debris fall around them.
01:22Early Saturday, a powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the north coast of Flores in East Noosa Tangara, or
01:31NTT.
01:32Strong aftershocks followed, including one around magnitude 6.1.
01:37People rushed out of buildings. Structures were damaged.
01:41Roofs and other sections of buildings collapsed or shed debris.
01:44A tsunami warning was also issued for parts of NTT, NTB, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi,
01:53before being lifted after only minor sea level changes were recorded.
01:57And there are genuine videos from Indonesia showing the panic.
02:01At St. Peter Major Seminary in Ritapiret, Sika, students and nuns reportedly ran from an assembly hall during morning mass
02:10after part of the roof collapsed.
02:11At least one priest was injured after jumping from a second floor.
02:16Other footage shows damaged buildings, people fleeing into streets and debris falling from structures.
02:23So the bigger fact check is this.
02:26The Indonesia earthquake is real.
02:28The destruction is real.
02:30The panic is real.
02:31But the viral classroom video being presented as footage from this latest Indonesian quake is misattributed.
02:38In breaking news, old disaster footage can suddenly become new again.
02:44And when a terrifying video is shared without its original date or location, the images may be real.
02:50But the story attached to them can be completely wrong.
