Security camera footage has revealed the moment medical staff at Kumamoto General Hospital in Japan shielded a patient during an earthquake that struck the facility in July. The hospital released the video, showing healthcare workers struggling to keep an operating table stable as the building shook violently during the 7.1 magnitude quake.
The footage shows lights flickering, equipment swaying, and a staff member being thrown to the floor while securing moving supplies. Despite the chaos, the medical team managed to complete all four surgeries that were underway at the time. The hospital resumed normal outpatient operations about a week after the earthquake.
