The video showed the studio of SET iNews, a Taiwanese 24-hour news channel receiving the effects of the natural calamite. The studio room from where the journalist went live saw its cameras and lights shaking adversely, as much as it could even get uprooted.

The clip opened showing the female news presenter reading news updates to the viewers when the camera suddenly panned to show the studio settings that were affected by the unlikely shake.
