Lebak earthquake strikes Jakarta and surrounding

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A video of post earthquake measuring up to 6.1 Richter Scale (SR) magnitude in Lebak, Banten spread on social media about a tilted Margonda apartment.

The video showed an apartment that is located in Margonda, Depok seemed to be tilted because of the earthquake that occurred on Tuesday afternoon, January 23.

In the video, there was a voice of a man and a woman talking about what they saw. The conversation about Margonda's tilted apartment began with the man who stated, "Look, it is tilted." His statement then responded by the woman who was with him.

"The apartment is tilted. So all the people around the apartment panicked and everyone ran to save themselves. They all came out of the building. After the earthquake, the apartment tilted," the woman said.

Both are in a car. They recorded the moment when the nurses, patients, and other officers of Bunda Margonda Hospital scattered out due to the earthquake. On the google search, the apartment, named Atlanta Residence, is located near Bunda Margonda Hospital.

Related to this, the Depok Police cannot be questioned. Tempo had tried to contact the Chief of Police Sector of Beji Depok City Yenny Angreni via telephone and Whatsapp, but no reply.
