I'm in central Tokyo in Akasaka.
It's a powerful earthquake
here. All buildings sway.
Look at the top of that
building! See how it moves!
-How Strong is the earthquake?
-7.9 On the Richter scale.
It's a tsunami coming.
Where then? - In Sendai. It
is about 7 meters high.
Residents within 3 km are
advised to evacuate.
Those who live between 3 and 10 km
away, are advised to stay indoors.
No government has been here. It
is three days since the tsunami.
It looks like this here now.
Se of.
Kesennuma is a city of
about 60,000 residents.
It is one of the four capitals
of Japan's tuna industry.
Now the city is completely destroyed.
Another tsunami is coming. Be careful.
- Coming now? -Yes. - The water is rising.
KESENNUMA BANK
The bank is closed due to the tsunami.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We find ourselves between Kesennuma and Matsu.
There is an endless line to
buy food at the supermarket.
The line is in perfect order.
And these people have been waiting for six hours.
Emperor Akihito I am very concerned about
the situation at the nuclear plant.
Naoto Kan Former. Prime Minister, we have decided to evacuate
people who lived 20 km from the power plant in Fukushima Daiichi.
Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear fallout...
This is the area that has been exposed to all three.
Now we are two kilometers
from the Fukushima Daiichi.
The nuclear power plant that threatens
Japan and throughout the world.
Here is the power plant.
I'd better leave, otherwise they may stop me.
Follow me.
Were you afraid to die?
My name is Takeshi Takahashi.
I took over as director here in December
2011, after my predecessor Masao Yoshida.
First, I apologize to the people of the world -
- For damage caused by this accident.
There are many complex procedures.
The most difficult process is the removal of solidified lava -
- From the reactors that melted down.
It is an operation that has
never been attempted before.
We know that one of the biggest problems
is the huge amount of contaminated water.
It contains a large
number of radionuclide.
To deal with this increasing amount of
water we have built storage facilities.
And we are building more.
Everyone who lives here is from Osaka.
The government wants us to move back home.
But we must wait for the
result of decontamination.
Everything depends on the result.
Do you hear me? 1, 2, 3... Test.
Okuma Machi, a few kilometers
from the Fukushima power plant.
A city which is now a ghost town.
Only a few dogs and cats have survived here.
A group of Japanese people come
sometimes here to feed them.
3, 2, 1, 0... Now! Over!
The radiation is higher than the
dosimeter capacity of 1 millisievert.
Perhaps it is best we leave here immediately.
Here comes a bus.
These are people who lived in the area.
They have just an hour to do it.
They don't have a lot of time.
-Hello..
Also hospital in Futaba was abandoned in haste.
Why are there so many beds
outside, and so many wheelchairs?
Because in a few days, patients were left to themselves.
After a few days, patients were
carried out here in their beds.
Unfortunately it is said that some of them died during transport.
As far as I remember, 14 of them died.
Unfortunately, the situation has worsened in the past.
Not like the first days, when we were
talking about how honest the Japanese are.
In addition to burglary in the houses
they have now started to rob ATM’s.
Here we are in one of the limited open supermarkets.
This is the ATM.
It is emptied. It is completely overturned.
- Could You see the ocean from here before? No, we could not.
Great grandfather was buried here.
Dad is there.
Here is my grandfather's grandfather.
Previous prime minister, Kan, would discontinue nuclear power.
But Abe announced that he would
start up the reactors again.
Terrible. It is more than irresponsible.
Here's the situation: We can not build nuclear power plants here anymore.
So what do we do now? We sell our
technology to other countries.
This is not about producing power. It's just about making money.
You must not open the windows.
Do not take any pictures, and not film anything.
Almost every window in this building was
destroyed by hydrogen explosion in Unit 1.
The reactor building was badly damaged.
The entire building is covered.
Where is the core? At what stage
does the meltdown happen?
Three years after the accident, no one knows.
Tepco doesn't know, the media doesn't
know. Robots can't even get near it.
What is Kan's perception, as an engineer?
The machines, vehicles and tanks that
were swept away, are still in the area.
The tsunami that hit the area, was 15 meters high.
The building to the right was heavily damaged by the tsunami.
When the earthquake came, we did not have this temporary wall.
So this area was hit directly by the tsunami.
Everything takes place inside the bus.
TEPCO people will not let us film.
They interrupt constantly, and speaks through a loudspeaker...
It is unclear what the problem is. The plant are not in operation.
There is no danger of terrorism. There is only a risk of information.
So where is this reactor?
Where's the new building?
-A hundred Meters down the road.
We Would like to see it.
-We Go on foot. All right?
-If you will not follow my orders,
-You can just go! Understood?!
I just asked. I ask only for information...
We need to look at the building next to reactor no. 4.
We persuaded them. First they would not, but now we can see it.
Stay on the left side, and do not go to the right!
They are all a little nervous and hysterical.
Finally, we are in front of reactor 4.
The radiation is still very high here.
It's above 1,500 microsieverts.
