Excuse me.
Excuse me, I'm sorry!
According to the JMA, the hypocenter was at a depth of 20km.
There is no risk of a possible tsunami.
Today at 4:04 pm,
a M7.3 earthquake occurred
below the southern city center of Tokyo.
Violent tremors were measured in the heart of the metropolitan area,
causing huge damage in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa.
It's in!
Collapse of a large building in front of Shinbashi Station.
Collapse of a large building in front of Shinbashi Station is in!
- Is the outside broadcast working? - Kimura-san is working on it!
- Sir! - What?
Saito... He says he's arrived near the fires in Suginami.
What do we do?
I told him not to go!
He better not do anything reckless.
Tell him to stay at least 100m away from the fires!
Understood!
Sir! Eguchi-san!
Where's Ikegami? You've got in touch with her?
I haven't heard from ever her since they left for the PM's residence. The whole team has gone missing.
New footage! Nakayoshi Nursery in Shimouma, Setagaya.
I need a location!
Setagaya, Shimouma, Shimouma 5-chome.
Setagaya is enough. Setagaya.
Okay, roll it.
We have new footage from right after the earthquake.
A licensed nursery in Setagaya.
This is footage of the earthquake from Nakayoshi Nursery.
This must be the building of the nursery.
The eaves of the roof are crumbling down.
Out of the way!
Please confirm this.
Stop daydreaming!
Footage of a building collapsing in Shibuya has come in! Putting it on the main screen!
Route 4, Sasazuka, building collapsing. Playing it now!

Many buildings have collapsed in other areas as well.
Please stay away from tilted buildings.
For those who have taken refuge at a safe place, please remain there until further notice.
There is a risk of continuous aftershocks.
Kuraishi!
Where have you been? The editor-in-chief is looking for you!
The announce room.
Really?
So Ikegami-san is safe?
- No, I just picked up my charger. - Are you kidding me?
What am I supposed to do without LINE?
Has Ikegami-san arrived yet?
I still haven't reached her yet.
The broadcast starts in 10 minutes!
We can't have the main caster be missing!
Saito! Saito!
Kuraishi?
Have you heard from Ikegami-san?
I haven't.
Shit! So I'm here for nothing?
What do we do, Saito?
What are we supposed to do without Ikegami-san?
Kuraishi...
- Kuraishi! - Yes?
You can do it.
You have to take over!
If you were here with me, you'd understand.
Something terrible is happening to Tokyo.
But...
This is why we have to do this!
Saito...
Saito! Saito!
What's your status?
We're safe here. It's fairly far from the fire.
- Don't get any closer. - You don't have to tell me.
Kuraishi, let's go.
- Where are you going? - Just a second!
Is there anything about Ikegami-san on the web?
- Did you send this to the editing team? - Just now.
More and more tweets are being made!
Ugh, that's... This is awful. Look.
We'll keep Omori-san up-to-date.
Don't forget our group chat.
What's going on?
It's an absolute chaos! What on earth is happening to Tokyo?
Eguchi-san!
Where is this?
Just outside of Tokyo Station.
What's going on in the heart of the city?
- I've no idea. - Seriously?
Anything from the police?
Nothing from the police or fire department.
Hey! Is there anyone who knows what's going on?
I'm checking the web!
The web? Are you kidding me?
Sir. We can't show this yet, right?
Wait a second.
It's already everywhere!
Social media is full of this, so why can't we show it?
Will you take responsibility for causing a panic with incorrect information?
Is this the time to talk about responsibility!?
Are you trying to hide the truth or what!?
You bastard!
I thought that in a life or death situation like this,
we were supposed to broadcast the information we get from the web!?
What's the matter now, Eguchi-san?
If we can't confirm what happened, we can't broadcast it!
In a situation like this?
There are tens and hundreds of thousands of reports on the web.
Are you saying it's all fake?
Omori-san, get us some confirmation already!
I'm working on it!
I'm trying to call an expert, but he won't pick up.
Sir, Ikegami-san still hasn't...
Still no information?
My apologies.
The moment they left Nagata-chou, they went missing.
There's no way she'll make it back in time.
Takizawa has to continue until she gets here.
Understood. I'm letting the studio know.
- You want him to keep going? - Damn right.
Takizawa-san is already at his limit.
I can do it!
Come again?
I can do it.
Please let me be the main caster.
- Aren't you in charge of sports? - Do you have experience with emergency reports?
- I did it during training. - Training?
Sir! I'll do it.
It's my job to be Ikegami-san's backup!
This ain't no training.
I know.
Give me a chance. I'm ready!
Not a single person in this room had been ready for this.
You have to convey what you see, what you feel.
Can you do it?
Can you do it or not?
I can! Please let me do it!
I want aerial footage of the earthquake!
The subcenter, Asakusa, Shibuya Scramble come first. Then the roof collapse of the assembly hall.
We're going to add new footage as we get it.
Hey, Kimura! Get her a wireless one.
- Comments? - That's up to your judgement.
Understood.
We've got heli footage of the simultaneous fires.
And the derailment due to a landslide at JR Ouji Station.
After that, we'll do a live connection.
The fires in Suginami.
- That's Saito's report, right? - Exactly.
Misao-chan.
You! What's with that face?
You plan on being like this in front of the camera?
Watch out!
Everyone all right?
Kuraishi, hurry up and get ready!
Yes!
You sure got some nerve.
Proposing the idea yourself.
Ikegami-san is the face of NNJ.
She's like your teacher, in a sense.
I really hope she's safe...
My people, too.
You can't get in touch with your parents?
Have you seen the state of Tokyo? I'm worried sick.
But going home is no option right now.
Yuki!
From Yuki: I'm not getting anywhere! All those people on the streets. Yuki!
From Yuki: I'm not getting anywhere! All those people on the streets.
What are you doing? I told you to hurry back home! From Yuki: I'm not getting anywhere! All those people on the streets.
Who's that? From Yuki: I'm not getting anywhere! All those people on the streets.
Who's that?
My younger sister. Apparently she was in Shibuya when the earthquake hit.
Apparently she's still in Shibuya, even though I told her to hurry back home.
What on earth is going on?
Me, you...
All of us here are victims of the earthquake.
I'm also... a victim...
For women, holding the stomach has a calming effect.
Misao-san...
- Is everything okay? - You're looking fine.
Thank you.
Kuraishi, keep your calm.
Don't make the viewers uneasier than they already are.
Got it.
There are reports about Ikegami-san related to a collapsed building in Roppongi.
- We're currently confirming the reports. - Is she okay?
We're about to go live! Get out! Don't block the camera!
There's no choice. I have to do this.
Five seconds!
Here we go.
- Okay, go. - Rolling!
The skyscrapers of Shinjuku.
The camera on the rooftop of our NNJ building is shaking violently.
Asakusa's Kaminarimon.
The sign of the building fell down.
You can hear the loud screams of the pedestrians.
The Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
The camera came off due to the violent tremors.
An assembly hall in Oimachi, Shinagawa.
The lights went out.
Panels and shards of glass crumbled down from the ceiling.
Five people, including a 30-year-old pregnant woman are confirmed dead.
Today at 4:04 pm,
an earthquake of JMA intensity 7
has occurred with its epicenter directly below the 23 wards of Tokyo.
Violent tremors have been observed in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa.
According to the JMA, the hypocenter is 20km below Tokyo.
It is estimated to have been a M7.3 earthquake.
It seems that serious damage has occurred in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa
because of this earthquake.
The full scope of the damage is not yet known.
- Okay, is the live connection to the heli ready? - Yes.
Switching to heli cam!
Violent tremors have been observed in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa.
Saito, we're connecting to you after the heli footage.
Copy that.
You're now seeing live footage of the current state of Tokyo.
This is aerial footage of the Suginami Ward in Tokyo.
We can confirm various fires throughout the city.
Most of the city lights have disappeared due to a power outage.
There is a power outage in 50% of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa.
This looks like the sports ground of a school.
You can see the light on the middle of the screen.
There are people on the sports ground.
Are those flashlights?
I can see them waving something.
There must be at least 10 people.
Are they trying to get the helicopter to help them?
The flames are approaching the school ground.
In the middle of the screen you can see the Tokyo Ring Route 7.
It's a chain of headlights.
It appears that the cars are not moving due to a traffic congestion.
Flames can be seen everywhere within the vicinity.
Fire fighting has not progressed due to the fire trucks from Suginami Ward and Setagaya Ward
being stuck in the traffic congestion.
Switching footage.
This is near JR Ouji Station.
A train has toppled sideways.
It must have derailed from the tracks.
The cliff next to the track has seriously collapsed.
The tracks on the right side of the screen
are covered in crumbled sediment.
There are people on top of the train.
Must be about 10 people.
It has been four hours since the earthquake.
I'm worried there must be people still trapped inside.
This information just came in.
According to JR East, the train that has derailed near Ouji Station
is a 15-wagon train of the Shonan Shinjuku Line
that generally contains 2,200 passengers.
It is unclear how many passengers are injured.
I'm worried about the well-being of the people who are still trapped inside.
Live connection is coming up. Standby!
Is the live connection ready?
Copy that!
It's a blackout!
Hold on a second!
What are you doing!? Hurry up!
The line got cut!
We're now having a live connection to the fires in Suginami Ward.
Saito-san? Saito-san?
We're now connecting live to the fires in Suginami Ward.
Saito-san?
Pardon me. I will let you know as soon as the connection is ready.
I'm checking, I'm checking.
Let the studio comment on more footage!
Hey! Speak to me! What's wrong, Saito!?
There's no connection!
Try the heli. The heli.
Let the heli zoom in on the Sagihara Building!
Heli zoom!
Got it! It's here!
It's the building with Saito!
It's engulfed in flames?
Playing the footage from the scene!
An explosion?
That didn't sound good.
It shook?
Should we get out? Let's get out of here!
This is the current state of Suginami Ward.
( Saito got caught in an explosion. )
That can't be...
Kuraishi, continue! Bring attention to the fires.
Zoom out that heli camera.
Back to panoramic view!
The fires have spread over a vast area.
For those who have taken refuge at a safe place, please remain there until further notice.
There is a risk of continuous aftershocks.
Please remain calm.
Are there homes with only children or elderly people?
Is there anyone in need of help?
Please make sure to check on your neighbors.
I repeat.
Who ordered the live connection?
That was me.
I'm the editor-in-chief and I approved of the live connection.
Two of our employees are probably dead.
You do realize that, right?
I do. I'm very sorry about this.
Junior Manager.
The editor-in-chief tried to stop Reporter Saito from going out there.
- But he went anyway and... - Silence!
It's your job to stop reporters from risking their lives no matter how much they want to go!
How do you intend to explain this to their families?
This is your responsibility. You understand, Eguchi-kun?
The press conference of the Chief Cabinet Secretary is starting any moment now.
Am I allowed to continue?
Junior Manager.
Come to my office when you're done.
Connection to the PM's residence?
It's on the center monitor.
Kuraishi, Chief Cabinet Secretary's press conference. Switching to PM's residence.
The press conference of the Chief Cabinet Secretary appears to be starting.
It's being broadcast live from the Prime Minister's residence.
Today at around 16:04,
a M7.3 earthquake with the highest possible JMA intensity of 7
occurred 20km directly below the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Kuraishi! Kuraishi!
What happened to Saito?
Takeuchi-san!
Play it.
That didn't sound good.
It shook?
Should we get out? Let's get out of here!
You guys joined in the same year, right?
Saito... How could this happen?
They went up a building to get a wide shot. Something exploded and...
Why would he go to such a dangerous place!?
Why... Why didn't you stop him!?
Saito said he'll regret it for the rest of his life if he doesn't go out there
and report about this great disaster first hand.
Cameraman Yoshioka, too.
Are you trying to tell me that he went there on his own accord!?
Kuraishi!
You're no different from him.
What do you mean!?
You practically begged me to let you do this.
But we can't have someone mentally shaken go live.
Yamada, we're switching casters.
Understood.
Call Takizawa-san back here. Hurry!
Wait!
Then what about you?
How can you not be shaken when your colleagues are dying!?
Everyone here has fear in their eyes and a dry throat.
So why do you have to keep yelling at us?
Are you telling me you're not shaken!?
You see...
It's my duty to keep the broadcast going.
Then I have a duty as well.
Please let me continue.
Your hands are shaking.
Can you do it? Be honest.
Saito told me.
"You can do it."
All of us here are victims.
With the way things are. What other choice do we have?
Studio is ready.
Next up, people stranded in Marunouchi. Heli footage.
Copy that.
Omori-san!
Similar pictures like the one before have surfaced on social media.
- Mostly from Marunouchi and Shibuya. - Shibuya?
I think it's from Center Gai.
A pedestrian bridge...
I've seen this before.
The Akashi incident.
- Try the police channel again! - Understood.
Hey, I want everyone on this! Look up the Akashi incident!
Starting live heli footage from Marunouchi.
Copy that. Marunouchi is next.
We are now showing live footage from Marunouchi.
This is the current situation in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
The streets are packed with countless people.
The roadways are also crowded with cars.
The trains have stopped, so there are countless people who cannot go home.
This is the current situation in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
What could this be...?
Kuraishi, accurately describe what you see.
A large cluster can be seen on the sidewalk.
Something appears to be accumulating.
People stop and try to move around the cluster.
- What is this? - I've no idea.
- I got it! I got it, Eguchi-san! - What is it?
- It's an avalanche of people. - An avalanche of people?
The clip from before. I couldn't tell.
Those are all dead bodies!
People crushed to death by the crowd.
The streets are overflowing with a staggering amount of people.
There must have been some sort of chaos and people got crushed.
Here comes avalanche of people in Shibuya!
Footage is ready, too! It's coming now!
Shibuya, Center Gai.
Okay Yamada, now!
This was the situation in Shibuya at around 5:00 pm earlier today.
I can hear screams.
Something has fallen down.
People are collapsing.
A large number of people keep falling on top of each other.
This is Shibuya, Tokyo.
Many people in a crowded space are collapsing at once.
Omori-san!
Did this get checked?
We have obtained new information.
Today at around 5:00 pm,
a large number of people have collapsed on top of each other in Shibuya,
causing what is believed to be an avalanche of people.
According to the police, more than 2,000 people were involved in this accident.
Many people have been injured
and at least 100 people have suffered cardiopulmonary arrest.
According to the police,
a similar incident occurred in Marunouchi, when people were trying to flee
from a fire that broke out in an underground shopping mall.
Eight people have so far been confirmed dead.
About 300 people are said to have been injured.
I repeat.

A call to attention.
Appeal to them! It's dangerous! Refrain from going home!
My younger sister. Apparently she was in Shibuya when the earthquake hit.
What are you doing? I told you to hurry back home!
Sis...
Kuraishi! Kuraishi! Continue! Call to attention!
Please refrain from rushing home and stay where you are!
A large concentration of people in one place is very dangerous.
Please remain in a safe location and avoid rushing home!
All the trains in the capital area have stopped.
Yamada, have her keep going! Continue with the warning!
Transportation facilities are suspended.
Please don't go home and stay at your workplace or any other safe location.
There are several fires breaking out within the metropolitan area and it's dangerous to travel.
With the transportation facilities suspended,
please don't go home and stay at a safe location!
I repeat.
Please don't rush home and stay where you are!
More than 4,000 people are estimated to have fallen victim to the fires!
What is happening...
Kuraishi.
You did great.
I told my younger sister to hurry back home.
But she hasn't read any of my messages ever since...
I had no idea!
Kuraishi...
You're not the only one.
Me, Yamada, Masao-san, everyone is the same.
In the end, it shows...
None of us had actually believed...
...that a day like this would come.
I still can't reach my parents.
Everyone here is worried about their families, but none of us know what to do.
We...
...weren't prepared at all.
None of us.
This is only the beginning.
We don't have a single clue
about what else is going to happen.
