Virginia earthquake: videos capture moment tremors hit US


The earthquake, which struck the US and Canadian east coast along a corridor stretching from Toronto to central Virginia, shook buildings and forced the evacuation of the Pentagon.
WIth the quake hitting the area at around 2pm local time, numerous events were interrupted by the violent tremors.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, the prosecutor in the sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was preparing to speak to reporters when the earthquake rattled the building.
Reggae musician Shaggy was also caught mid-interview, understandably a little shaken as New York City was jolted by a minor earthquake.
"Is it me or is this place shaking right now, why is it shaking? Dude, it's shaking so much that this thing is actually moving," the singer said looking concerned.
