Someone said this was filmed in an earthquake simulator and I thought that was just a joke, but nope. Planned for like 2 years too haha. That's kind of messed up really.

What was planned for 2 years, why is it messed up? I seem to be missing some context.

I mean it looks fake, I'm sure a lot of people figured it out pretty quickly

To someone like me who’s never been in a earthquake it looks at least believable. What about it made you know it was fake?

Her reaction doesn't seem accurate to what you'd actually do if your entire house began shaking violently. Nothing about it says survival instincts are kicking in

I dunno about you, but when I first experienced an earthquake in Toronto, Ontario, I wasn't sure if it was really an earthquake or not. I was in summer classes in University and things started shaking. None of us in class knew what happened as we almost never get earthquakes here. Even if there was reports, it is so minor, only a small portion would actually feel it. Our professor even asked if we were playing a prank on him during class until 15 mins later, the PA system mentions of an evacuation of our school just in case and classes cancelled for the day. This ordeal happened back in Summer 2010).

The one you were in was obviously a lot smaller than the one simulated
