A camera inside the UN Security Council meeting in New York captured the moment when the earthquake that hit the region began to be felt, this Friday morning (5).
The tremors began during a speech by the president of the NGO Save the Children, Janti Soeripto.
Soeripto then pauses his speech and asks another participant: “Is this an earthquake?”
A member of the meeting can then be heard joking with Soeripto, saying that she had made the ground shake, before the meeting resumed.
Watch the video of the moment:
