Horror at Shizugawa High - Kids Look on Helplessly as Town is Swept Away (English Subtitled)
Student videocam, YouTube ^ | April 17, 2011 | me

Posted on 04/17/2011 6:03:14 PM PDT by gaijin

Shizugawa High is perched atop a hill overlooking this rural town in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Following the earthquake, the students vacated their high school structures per emergency protocol.

The entire student body was assembled outside as an enormous wall of watery black detritis, cars, homes, and buildings were transported to the base of the hill elevating their school. Finally the film shows panic-stricken individuals emerging from their homes, breaking into a dead run for their lives.

Students safe above watching incredulously call out down the hill, egging them on to run faster as the chaotic inky black rages inexorably on towards its victims.

This is what the students filmed, and this freeper made the English subtitles you will see.

Did everyone seen running make it out? It looks like a few were caught at the end of the video.

Horrible!

Terrifying to watch people fleeing, one looked like he/she was carrying a bag which probably contained their most important possessions. How sad for those involved.

It looked like they were struggling at the end and got someone in a wheelchair up to higher ground, but it looked like one of the people helping was getting caught in the debris before the camera went off.

Unbelievable.

Gaijin, thank you for the translations, but I wondered if the translation where someone said “It’s lies...it’s all lies” might have been saying something like “This can’t be true”

God. What a tragedy. What a tragedy. I pray for them all.

I can’t watch any more of these. It’s gotten to the point where I refuse to turn on the television. Each day there is a new tape.

I’m just over my limit on this.
