Original Note:
This video is not from today's earthquake in Tonga; it is from Indonesia in 2018. Fact-check from a previous time this video was shared with an inaccurate caption. https://newsmobile.in/articles/2023/04/03/fact-check-2018-video-from-shared-as-recent-earthquake-in-papua-new-guineafact-check-old-video-from-2018-shared-as-recent-earthquake-in-papua-new-guinea/ Today's earthquake was very deep, so surface shaking was not strong enough to cause this level of damage: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000kawn/executive
