Hi,

 

When the tremor happened, I was in my office on 16th floor in Mega Kuningan Jakarta just before 6pm yesterday. It started as a small one but became a surprising quake, all for about 15-20 seconds. All window shields were rattling and I heard a disturbing noise on a pillar just behind my seat which I later realized that it cracked a bit. After that, you know what happened, run !!!!.

 

Most buildings in Jakarta or other cities are not well equipped to face tremors at large scale of Richter nor long-enduring quakes (more than a minute). Yesterday’s was a greater one than the previous ones.

 

At the end, Alhamdulilah that everyone was OK. Traffic jam was all over Jakarta as it was a rush hour plus people started leaving their offices almost at the same time after the quake

Subject: Gempa di Jakarta

 

Tadi malam saya kirim sekitar 10 SMS kepada famili saya yang tinggalnya berpencaran di wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya.
Hampir semuanya menyatakan merasakan getaran gempa. Syukur Alhamdulillah, tidak ada yang cedera.

Hanya saya belum dapat berita tentang bagaimana dampak gempa di Jakarta itu terhadap daya tahan bangunan. Di sini ada yang teknik sipil?

Salam,

Nasrullah Idris
