Description | People inside a burned-out streetcar cried continuously for help. 1,100 m from the hypocenter, Hirose-kita-machi Tsunenori Tokeshi Explanation in picture A streetcar with smashed windows and a broken roof was crammed with survivors who had climbed in for safety. Red people, the color of carrots because their skin had peeled. Others still had skin but looked like Sakurajima daikon (Japanese radish), so swollen they could hardly see. "Help! Help!" they called continually. We could do nothing. I felt how powerless humans are. |
