Chapter 63: You're Right!

24 January 1995. It is a day when the whole society is immersed in grief. But it was also a day when anger erupted like a volcano!

As the sky brightened, the Self-Defense Forces and the rescue and disaster relief teams from the surrounding areas of Kobe went to the disaster area, and the major media went to the disaster area, and everything in the disaster area was completely presented in front of Socai himself.

"From the lens, one can gaze at the devastated and ruined walls, and there are badly damaged buildings everywhere, some of which break off from the middle and smash against another nearby building. Crumbling: In some buildings, the entire third and fourth floors no longer exist, and the fifth floor is directly pressed on the second floor. Although the famous Mitsubishi Bank building has not collapsed, it has been completely deformed, and the inclination of the two ends of the roof has reached a very obvious more than ten degrees, and the height is more than one story behind! And a building like this is pretty good on the land of Kobe, at least it didn't collapse, and the people in the building didn't have to face the large pieces of heaven that fell down...... A reporter from the NHK television network reported in a choked voice.

"The entire transportation system in Kobe City has been completely paralyzed. More than 10 elevated sections of the Osaka-Kobe Expressway have been fractured, the viaduct deck has collapsed in many places, and the thick reinforced concrete pillars seem to have been broken from the bottom by the giant hands of the gods, and the road surface that is hundreds of meters long has been overturned.

Damaged and abandoned vehicles can be seen everywhere on and off the bridge. Some of the vehicles had been burned to the ground. The Shinkansen rails deformed, eighteen trains slid off the tracks, and dozens of bridges fell. The lanes for driverless trains, which the people of Kobe are proud of, were also destroyed. The earthquake almost completely deprived the sixth largest city of Japan ...... functioning as a city," said the female reporter of the N-TV network, who could not stop crying.

The time of "11:35 a.m. on January 23" will always be remembered by the citizens of Kobe and the people of Japan. On Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, southeast of Kobe, an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 or higher occurred with an epicenter at a depth of about 20 kilometers underground, and the acceleration of the shaking reached 2 seconds. The earth's crust caused by the earthquake moved the city in different directions, causing 14 fractures and 9 collapses on the highway between Osaka and Kobe, and the thick cement pillars under the viaduct were broken from the roots, and the earthquake also caused serious damage to the city's subway, and the city's water, electricity, gas, and telephones were all interrupted! ”。 The host of the Gang N TV network has a voice that is still as strong as ever. But no one could see that his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously cried.

"I'm now standing on the main highway leading to Kobe in Osaka, and the fast track into Kobe has been cut off due to the breakage and collapse of the viaduct. And these auxiliary roads, which can still be passed, are already full of vehicles of rescue and disaster relief teams dispatched by the government. Among them, we also saw a large number of citizens who came to Kobe on their own. The disaster area is still in danger of aftershocks. So the police who maintained order on the road stopped them. Unable to enter the disaster area, they "unloaded all the mineral water and food they had brought with them in their cars, neatly discharged them under the trees on the side of the road, and wrote a paper sign with a pen and hung it on the mineral water bottles: this is clean food for the people affected by the disaster." Please take it with confidence to the person who needs it. Now there is a mountain of such supplies on the side of the road here! …… The correspondent of the FNN television network reported affectionately.

The Asahi Shimbun made a sharp question on the front page headlines. Although it is said that the "Japan" Self-Defense Forces and "Police" were mobilized very quickly, the first group of Self-Defense Forces were already set out within 15 minutes of the earthquake. However, this cannot cover up the mistakes and weak links in the earthquake prevention and disaster reduction work that have been exposed by the Japanese government in the face of this catastrophe.

The first is to erroneously judge that there will be no large-scale earthquake in the Kansai region, so that the earthquake rescue work in the area will completely lag behind the speed of urban construction! As a result, after the earthquake, the Japanese government was not prepared for the Kansai earthquake and underestimated. There have been a series of troubles, such as the uncoordinated command system for disaster relief and the chaotic supply of materials for poverty relief. At the same time, the city of Kobe is not well connected, and the roads are congested. Objectively, it has brought great difficulties to the disaster relief work!

Second, during the earthquake, it can be clearly seen that the fire-fighting system in the Kansai region is poorly organized, and the relevant fire-fighting facilities are not intact and complete, resulting in the fires caused by the earthquake not being extinguished in time. In addition, there are too many wooden materials in the design of Japanese-style houses. At the same time, a large number of flammable decorative materials are used. It also increased the damage caused by the fire.

Third, government departments do not have disaster relief plans for making boats in advance, resulting in a lag in disaster relief work after the earthquake. This undoubtedly further increased the damage caused by the earthquake.

It's not just Asahi Shimbun. The Yomiuri Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Nikkei Shimbun, and Sankei Shimbun, the other four national newspapers in the Nikben also questioned the government's ineffective rescue and disaster relief work while reporting on the latest situation in the disaster-stricken areas. This undoubtedly made the people of Japan grief at the same time. Anger against the government is stored in the bottom of my heart.

At 7 p.m., TV Tokyo broadcast a summary of Ai Yamashita's day's work in the disaster area.

In the footage, in the chaos of the rubble, the rescuers are busy, because under the rubble, they find two young women trapped in it. The work has been going on for more than six hours. Since large construction machinery has not yet been able to be transported into the disaster area in large quantities, these people can only use simple tools and dig carefully. Fortunately, the position where these two people are trapped is not very deep.

With the cheers of the people gathered around the ruins. One has loose hair. Dressed in thin pajamas. With the help of the rescuers, the pale young woman got out of the gap, and the people on the side hurriedly put on her haode coat that had been prepared for a long time, and brought a stretcher. Let her lie down. Trapped under the rubble for nearly twenty hours, she looked a little weak in fear. The audience in front of the TV also shouted excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, another blonde woman, also dressed thinly, was rescued from the hole. She looked injured and bloodied. She was also put on an overcoat and sent on a stretcher, and the first thing she said to the rescue team members was: "When I recover, who of you would like to date me?" ”

Those present, whether middle-aged. It was still the young rescue team members who were in a daxiao, and then rushed to raise their hands to sign up.

"Your suffering is our suffering, and your hope is our hope. When disaster strikes. We are with you to pray for the rest of the deceased and for the wounded. And more care and liliang are gathering here from all directions! With Ai Yamashita's emotional voice, the camera shifts from the crowd to Ai Yamashita standing on a high place.

"We are very happy to see that two more compatriots have been successfully rescued and returned to safety. It was a successful rescue. But we were happy. It must not be forgotten that thousands of our compatriots are still trapped in the rubble. Waiting for us to come to the rescue. Therefore, these rescuers, who have not rested since they rushed to the disaster area, are about to rush to the next location, and under the threat of aftershocks from time to time, they are racing against time with death! Yamashita Ai said emotionally, "Maybe it's just the time for everyone to have a cup of coffee, maybe it's just the time for you to smoke a cigarette, and it may decide the life and death of a compatriot!" Death is still haunting here, and not every man who survived the earthquake will be able to wait for rescuers to arrive. I witnessed this with my own eyes today. ”

With Yamashita's words of love, the camera on TV turned. The figure of RyΕ«ro Jiro appeared in the camera, and it was the scene when he was interviewed by Ai Yamashita.

With the cameras on TV, people can't help but feel sad, more haode a young man. It is the youngest and most energetic age that can still be so calm in such a difficult situation. Do not forget to tell the families of colleagues the whereabouts of their loved ones, and do not forget to comfort their parents and loved ones. However, from the words of Yamashita love in front of you, everyone heard it. I'm afraid he's already dead.

Following the TV cameras, people saw the pear cracks, saw everything in the ruins, including the leg that was exposed under the cement slab, and heard the conversation that Yamashita loved them, but in Zuihou. What they saw was that the camera was shaking violently, and the people in the camera, the crumbling buildings, were shaking violently, and then the camera went black.

Just when people were worried about it, Ai Yamashita appeared in the camera again, only this time. She looked a lot more embarrassed, her hair and clothes were covered in dust, and there were a few bloody cuts on her hands.

"Just now, another strong aftershock occurred in the disaster area, causing the buildings in this area to collapse again, and this time, a heavy cement slab smashed on the roof of the trapped car of Ling Lu Jiro again, and the car body was seriously deformed again, squeezing Ling Lu Jun to death in the car." Tears of love flowed down Yamashita's cheeks, "The backup camera we brought with us captured the scene before the death of Linglu King, but the scene was too bloody, and considering that there were many children and teenagers in front of the TV, we did not broadcast it here. Before leaving, he called his mother......"

Speaking of which, Yamashita Ai is already covering her face and crying silently. Many of the viewers in front of the TV also shed tears.

Yamashita Ai wiped the water from her face. picked up the microphone again and said, "Linglu Jun is before leaving." Only one word was said except to call his family! ”

Everyone in front of the TV pricked up their ears and waited nervously.

"Fang Jun, you're right!"
