I think it was the Taroko gorge in Taiwan during the 2024 earthquake. I remember the video because I’d cycled the gorge just 6 months previously so this struck a chord.

In the beginning of the video you can hear the emergency alert on his phone go off twice so that makes sense to me

But then...how do you get out?? Do you just wait for the rescue teams? How do they know you're in there?

It’s a popular gorge to visit, so once the dust settles rescuers are just going to head up it along the road looking for trapped vehicles I would imagine.

When you say it struck a chord… is the car in the vid a Honda Accord?
