Japan Survivors Pulled From Wreckage Nine Days After Japan Quake
Poziom:
Temat: Wiadomości
It is the good news story that the Japanese people have been craving.
An 80-year-old woman and her 16-year-old grandson
- found alive from the wreckage of their house in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture.
Local media report they survived by eating yoghurt from the fridge.
Eventually, the boy managed to break through to the roof.
Rescue workers spotted him waving for help.
They have survived nine nights of freezing temperatures and heavy snow.
The boy is reported to have a low temperature,
but is conscious.
It will reinvigorate the rescue effort here.
For days, Japanese and international teams have searched up and down
this wrecked coastline in vain.
But for most families,
the desperate search for loved ones goes on or ends in tragedy.
Miyagi police say 15,000 people probably died in their prefecture alone.
Here in Natori, close to Sendai City
the body of a teenage boy is left on a side of an embankment.
A nameless corpse yet to be collected and taken to the overwhelmed morgue.
Rescuers say there are many more bodies among the wreckage of this town.
The rest of the missing, they say, were probably washed out to sea.
Natori was on the frontline when the tsunami smashed into the shoreline.
Anyone who had not escaped this flat coastal plain
had little chance.
A clock in the remains of a house is frozen at the moment the earthquake struck.
At the nearby Tozen-ji shrine,
Yukihiro Soga cuts a lonely figure.
The shrine building is one of the few in the town still be standing.
Soga has come here to collect
the bones of his parents.
'It is not so hard to sift through the soil,
the bone fragments are much lighter than the stones.'
It may seem a grim task,
but Soga says it is his duty to his parents.
'The power of the human race is nothing compared to nature.
We have to live in harmony with nature.
The tsunami caused such huge destruction
that I do not feel anger.
I am lucky that my family all survived this.
So we have a new start
- we start from zero.
I'm going to live here with nature.
My roots are here. My parents are here.'
Like Soga, thousands of people up and down the coastline have felt the full force of nature,
and must now start from zero.
