Shinchi town suffering great damage (Day after the earthquake) The Japanese text is followed by an English translation. 津波の被害を受けた福島県相馬郡新地町の状況を伝えた映像。 震災当日深夜の国道6号線(陸前浜街道)では、路上に大きな亀裂が走り、車両の通行をさえぎっており、近隣住民の避難所となっている新地町総合体育館には、薄明かりの中に、立ち姿の人や床に寝転び休息をとる人々の姿も見えた。 3月12日、朝日がのぼり、まばゆい光が差し込むと、無残に破壊された町の姿が徐々にあらわになってくる。国道から海岸線の方向に足を向けると、谷地小屋地区付近の水田地帯は、流されてきた家屋や車の残骸が泥の中に転がり、漁具やがれきが無数に散在する。付近のどの家々も、津波による大きな爪痕を残していた。JR常磐線・新地駅も駅舎が破壊され、ホームを結ぶ連絡橋だけが、わずかにその原型をとどめ、かたわらには、大きくへし曲がった車両が転がっていた。(午前7時ごろ) 一方、新地駅から約3Km南にある相馬火力発電・新地発電所(新地町駒ヶ嶺地区)では、前日から約1,000人の従業員が所内に取り残されているという情報が入った。 取材班が急行すると、発電所付近の県道113号線沿いでは、海岸部から1km以上離れているところでも、波によってフェンスが倒され、泥や浮遊物がからみついていて、発電所の敷地に通じる道路も、水たまりでふさがれていた。 午前10時すぎ、カメラが発電所の敷地内に入ると、堅牢(けんろう)そうな建屋の壁や鉄骨もいたるところ、大きなダメージを受け、さらに多数の車が、残骸のようにあちこちに転がっていた。 お昼前、駆けつけた自衛隊の車両に先導され、救出された発電所の従業員を乗せたバスが連なって、敷地をあとにした。 Footage: Report of the situation at Shinchi town of Soma district, in Fukushima prefecture. At midnight of day of the earthquake, on national route 6 (Rikuzenhama highway), a large crack runs on the road, obstructing cars from passing. At the Shinchi town multi-purpose gymnasium designated as the place of evacuation for residents in nearby neighborhoods, shadows of people standing or lying on the floor to take rest can be seen under dim lights. Day after the earthquake, March 12th. The morning sun rises, allowing the glaring sunlight to shine in. The town gradually becomes apparent, displaying its mercilessly destroyed self. Facing towards the direction of the coast line from the road, there are remains of a house and car, washed away and tumbled within the rice paddies of Yachigoya area, along with countless rubble and fishing gear scattered about. Every single home within the area had suffered great damages from the tsunami. Shinchi station of the JR Jyoban line had also been destructed, the connecting bridge being the only remaining part slightly resembling its former self, and beside it lies a heavily contorted train car on its side. (Around 7 a.m.) On the other hand, at Soma Thermal Power Station Shinchi Power Plant(Shinchi town, Komagamine area), 3km south of Shinchi station, it was reported that approximately 1,000 employees had been left behind within the premises from the day before. When the news crew rushed to the scene, even areas near the power plant over 1km away from the coastal strip along prefectural road 113 were in ruins. Fences had been torn down by waves entwined in mud and floating particles, and the road leading to the plant's grounds were blocked by puddles. At past 10 a.m., when the camera entered the grounds of the power plant, one could see that the buildings which appeared to be solid had actually suffered much damage on its walls and steel frame. A number of cars were rolled about everywhere, almost like carcasses. At around noon., the Self-Defense Forces arrived on wheels and under their guidance, a line of buses carrying those employees rescued from the power plant drove away from the grounds. 地図を見る http://www.fnn-news.com/311/articles/201103120066.html View map http://www.fnn-news.com/en/311/articles/201103120066.html
