Chapter 63 You are right!

January 24, 1995, was a day when the entire Japanese society was 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 set off to the disaster area one after another, and the major media went there one after another. Everything in the disaster area was completely presented to all Japanese people.

"From the camera, people can stare at the devastated areas and ruins, with severely damaged buildings everywhere. Some buildings were broken in the middle and leaned against another nearby building, crumbling; some buildings have the entire third and fourth floors.

The first floor no longer exists, and the fifth floor is directly pressed on the second floor. Although the famous Mitsubishi Bank Building in Japan has not collapsed, it has been completely deformed. The slope of the two ends of the roof has reached a very obvious

It's more than ten degrees Celsius, and the height difference is more than one floor! 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 fall.

Huge chunks of ceiling." A reporter from the NHK TV network reported with a choked voice.

“The entire transportation system in Kobe City has been completely paralyzed. More than 10 elevated sections of the expressway from Osaka to Kobe have broken, and many viaduct decks have collapsed. Thick reinforced concrete pillars seem to have been broken from the foundation by the giant hand of the gods.

Hundreds of meters of road were overturned and overturned. Damaged and abandoned vehicles could be seen everywhere on and under the bridge. Some vehicles had been burned black. The Shinkansen rails were deformed and 18 trains slipped off the track.

, dozens of bridges fell. The dedicated lane for driverless trams that Kobe people are proud of was also destroyed. The earthquake almost caused Japan’s sixth largest city to completely lose its urban functions..." Female reporter from nnn TV network

Speaking of which, I broke down in tears.

"At 11:35 midnight on January 23, this time will always be remembered by the citizens of Kobe and the Japanese people. On Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, southeast of Kobe, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 or above occurred. The depth of the epicenter

It is about 20 kilometers underground, and the vibration acceleration reaches 818 cm/s2. The crustal movement caused by the earthquake moved cities such as Osaka by 1 to 4 cm in different directions, causing 14 fractures on the highway between Osaka and Kobe.

Nine places collapsed, and the thick cement pillars under the viaducts were broken from their roots. The earthquake also severely damaged the city's subway, and the city's water, electricity, gas, and telephone were all cut off!" Although the host of the Ann TV Network still has the same strong voice as before,

But no one could tell that he had obviously cried because his eyes were red and swollen.

"I am now standing on the main highway from Osaka to Kobe. Due to the fracture and collapse of the viaduct, the expressway into Kobe has been cut off. And these auxiliary roads that can still be passed are already full of vehicles from the emergency and disaster relief teams dispatched by the government.

Among them, we also saw a large number of citizens who spontaneously went to Kobe. Since the disaster area is still in a dangerous situation with constant aftershocks, the police who maintained road order stopped them. Unable to enter the disaster area, they brought the mineral water in their cars

All the food and food were unloaded and neatly placed under the trees on the roadside. I wrote a paper sign with a pen and hung it on the mineral water bottle: This is clean food for the people affected by the disaster. Please feel free to use it if you need it. Now here

Along the road, such materials have piled up like mountains!" a reporter from fnn TV network reported affectionately.

The Asahi Shimbun issued a sharp question to the Japanese government on its front page. Although the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and police mobilized very quickly, and within fifteen minutes after the earthquake, the first batch of Self-Defense Forces members had already set off. But this

This cannot cover up the mistakes and weaknesses of the Japanese government in earthquake prevention and disaster reduction work that were exposed in the face of this catastrophe.

First, it was wrongly judged that a large-scale earthquake would not occur in the Kansai region of Japan, which caused the earthquake relief work in the area to completely lag behind the speed of urban construction! The result was that after the earthquake, the Japanese government was not fully prepared for the Kansai earthquake. It is estimated that

Insufficient. There has been a series of troubles such as uncoordinated disaster relief command system and chaotic supply of poverty relief materials. At the same time, poor communication and road congestion in Kobe City have objectively brought great difficulties to the disaster relief work!

Second, during the earthquake, it can be clearly seen that the fire protection system in the Kansai region has poor organizational capabilities, and the relevant fire protection facilities are incomplete and incomplete. As a result, fires caused by the earthquake cannot be put out in time. Coupled with the Japanese-style house design

There are too many wooden structural materials and a large amount of flammable decorative materials, which increases the losses caused by fire.

Third, the government departments did not formulate corresponding disaster relief plans in advance, resulting in the lag in relief work after the major earthquake and the lack of coordination among various departments, which undoubtedly further increased the losses caused by the earthquake.

Not only the "Asahi Shimbun", Japan's other four national comprehensive newspapers "Yomiuri Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun", "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" and "Sankei Shimbun" also reported on the latest situation in the disaster area,

Questioning the government's ineffective emergency and disaster relief work. This undoubtedly made the Japanese people feel grieved and at the same time filled with anger towards the government.

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

In the footage, rescue workers were busy on the messy ruins, because under the ruins, they found two young women trapped inside. The work had lasted for more than six hours. Due to the large-scale construction project,

Machinery has not yet been transported into the disaster area in large quantities, so these people can only use simple tools and dig carefully. Fortunately, the location where the two people were trapped is not very deep.

As the people surrounding the ruins cheered, a young woman with disheveled hair, wearing thin pajamas, and a very pale face, with the help of rescue workers, got out of the gap opened. People on the side hurriedly

He put the coat that had been prepared on her and brought a stretcher for her to lie on. After being trapped under the rubble for nearly twenty hours, she looked a little frightened and weak. The audience in front of the TV also followed suit.

shouted excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, another blond woman who was also wearing thin clothes was pulled up from the hole by the rescuers. She seemed to be injured and had blood stains on her body. She was also put on a coat and put on a stretcher.

With his chapped lips, the first thing he said to the rescue team members was: "Which of you is willing to date me after I recover?"

The people present, whether they were middle-aged or young rescue team members, laughed heartily, 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, silently praying for the deceased to rest in peace, and praying for the injured to be safe. And with more care and strength,

People are gathering here from all directions!" Following Ai Yamashita's emotional voice, the camera turned from the crowd to Ai Yamashita standing high up.

"We are very happy to see that two more compatriots have been successfully rescued and returned to a safe place. This is a successful rescue. But while we are happy, we cannot forget that there are thousands of compatriots who are still trapped.

The ruins are waiting for us to come to the rescue. So these rescue workers, who have never rested since they arrived at the disaster area, will immediately rush to the next location. Under the threat of aftershocks from time to time, they will race against time against death!"

Yamashita Ai said passionately, "Maybe just the time we have for a cup of coffee, maybe just the time you have for smoking a cigarette, may determine the life or death of a compatriot! The God of Death is still lingering here, and not everyone survived the earthquake.

The compatriots who came down can wait until the rescuers arrive. Regarding this, I witnessed this scene with my own eyes today."

Following Ai Yamashita's words, the camera on the TV turned and Jiro Sakajiro appeared in the camera. It was exactly the scene when he was interviewed by Ai Yamashita.

Following the scenes on TV, people couldn't help but feel sad. What a good young man, who is the youngest and most energetic. In such a difficult situation, he can still be so calm and never forget to tell his colleagues and their families the whereabouts of their relatives.

, did not forget to comfort his parents and relatives. However, from Yamashita Ai's words before, everyone could tell that he was probably in trouble.

Following the TV cameras, people saw the cracks and everything in the ruins, including the leg exposed under the cement board, and heard the conversation about Yamashita's love for them. But in the end, what they saw was the violent shaking of the camera.

Shaking, the people in the camera and the crumbling buildings were shaking violently, and then the camera went dark.

Just when people were worried about it, Yamashita Ai appeared in the camera again, but this time, she looked much more embarrassed than before. There was dust everywhere in her hair and clothes, and she also had a few scratches on her hands.

A bloody mouth.

"Just now, there was another strong aftershock in the disaster area, causing the buildings in this area to collapse again. And just this time, a heavy cement board once again hit the roof of the car where Jiro Hanjiro was trapped, and the car body

Once again, he was severely deformed, squeezing Sakaji-kun to death in the car." Yamashita Ai's tears flowed down her cheeks, "The backup camera we carried captured the scene before Sakaji-kun died, but the scene was too much.

It was bloody. Considering that there were many children and teenagers in front of the TV, we did not broadcast it here. Before leaving, Mr. Sakaji called his mother..."

At this point, Ai Yamashita covered her face and burst into tears. Many people in the audience in front of the TV also shed tears.

Yamashita Ai wiped the tears on her face, picked up the phone again and said, "Before Hanji-kun left, besides calling his family, he only said one sentence!"

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

"Fang Jun, you are right!"
