A video on TikTok shows a group of divers in the Banda Sea, Indonesia, being struck by a submarine earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9. The terrifying footage went viral on social media.
According to Reuters, the seismic event occurred on November 8, 2023. The Banda Sea region was hit by two earthquakes: one with a magnitude of 6.9, followed by another with a magnitude of 6.8.
The divers were swimming among fish and observing coral when the ground beneath them began to shake, raising sand from the ocean floor. They were struck by a strong water current.
The video has nearly 5 million views. “You can see the fish behaving strangely even before it happens. That would be scary,” commented one user on the video.
At the time, Indonesian authorities reported that the earthquakes did not pose a tsunami threat. The country is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, known for its frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
