    Default Inside the Washington Monument During the Quake

    Definitely not a place I would have wanted to be during the quake or explosion last month. There are two videos at the link which I cannot embed here.

    During the first vid, people are running down the stairs. Watch the guy wearing the hat. He runs down and then runs back up. You also see him in the second vid which I think is at the top of the monument. I wonder if one of his kids was missing.

    I'm so glad you posted this. I was about to start the same thread!

    If anyone watched "The Event" on NBC, the Washington Monument was defaced there too. I know that definitely isn't coincidence. It definitely is probable that they are unrelated but the synchronicity is just too strong. Especially, since I was meditating on that all day today before thinking to get on avalon...

    If I'm not mistaken, it was an artificial earthquake that happened that left similar damage.

    The synchronicity in my own life around that time period was just unreal guys... It reminded me of something out of The Adjustment bureau or something, lol.

    I do remember 11:11 being shown when I heard about the "quake"...

    I'm curious: aceninja, how do you know it definitely wasn't coincidence but probably unrelated?

    In the second video the people don't panic until well after the "apparent" shaking begins.

    My gut tells me there may be some trickery going on with these videos. The cameras would have to have been mounted very losely for so much visual shaking.

    Do local witness satatements also say the shaking continued for a long time?.....or....has the long shake been introduced to affirm that it was a real earthquke instead of a blast shockwave?

    Just my 2 cents.

    Here are some local comments.

    20+ aftershocks

    Charlottesville VA – I work at a large church and there was a loud boom like a bomb and then the whole church started shaking like a tin toy. It shook for a really long time really strong and then when it stopped shaking, the earth was still trembling.

    Louisa County, VA - I was inside one of the seriously damaged schools when the earthquake hit- debris was falling, very difficult to walk. Terrifying, horrifying ordeal, but all children and staff escaped quickly and without a scratch. A miracle! It lasted about 30 seconds, and was followed by 3 aftershocks.

    I was at work when it happened. The ground was shaking my desk was shaking....I had to ask the woman on my phone line to hold for a minuet while i tried to figure out what was happening. it must have lasted at least 3min or longer. I will admit, i was a lil shaken up afterwards.

    Thirty miles south of Charlottesville VA in Lovingston it sounded like a low flying jet overhead rattling pots and pans in the kitchen. After a few seconds it was apparent that it was an earthquake rather than a jet plane because the sound was not moving. The dogs did not seem overly concerned. I opened the front door to see what was moving. The shaking seemed to last about 30 seconds. Quite exciting.
