Shimamura Yuki...
My younger sister is also called Yuki.
- Yuki-san! - Help won't come, right?
They all can't wait to see you again!
So please! Don't give up!
What's this talk about poison gas?
It's footage that's being spread on the web.
We have to tell them to evacuate immediately!
We can't afford for people to die in a panic caused by some hoax!
And we get to choose who gets saved?
Is there any point in always reporting about things...
...after the fact?
We need to work together and do our best! I'm counting on you!
The All-Japan Chemical plant just exploded!
Hello?
Yuki-san?
Kuraishi-san...
What's the matter, Yuki-san?
It's okay, right? Not giving up...
Live...!
Please, live!
Yuki...!

With the third night since the earthquake approaching,
places of refuge are starting to experience an acute shortage of supplies.
52 hours after the earthquake places of refuge are starting to experience an acute shortage of supplies.
There is a shortage of special relief supplies needed for infants, old people and women. 52 hours after the earthquake
There is a shortage of special relief supplies needed for infants, old people and women.
Supplies of things such as milk powder, diapers and sanitary products...
Some strangers came to steel food.
You've gotta respect everyone's space.
Those public officials, too. "Share with everyone," they say.
They were crazy. Threatened to beat us up.
- Right? - Yeah.
I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling something strange
and there was some strange man right in front of me.
It was in the middle of the night and I was too scared to raise my voice.
I don't know anyone in this shelter, so I'm too scared to sleep and...
Does that person look like your sister?
You still can't find her?
No.
The water has stopped. The toilets aren't working.
They tell us to dig holes, but that's...
Right?
Women refuse to drink water because they don't want to go to the toilet.
Everyone is harming their health.
Those are dead bodies, right?
They can't keep up with identifying the bodies.
That's why they have no choice but to put them somewhere else.
It's been more than 50 hours since the earthquake.
Everyone's at their limit.
Yamada! Where the hell are you, Yamada!?
Come on Yamada, there's gotta be more!
There's nothing left to share in the news center!
How can you be so stingy now!?
What's the matter, Kurumi-san?
There's not enough food!
The people who came here on a trip are still here.
My apologies.
It's not much, but please share it among yourselves.
There isn't much we can offer them,
but it's almost starting to look like a real shelter.
Excuse me. Please, take this.
Thank you very much.
Where do you live?
We live in Tachikawa.
Tachikawa...
The fires have also gotten to the Chuo Line
and there's no way I can make it home with her.
Right.
She has a three-year-older brother, but...
I left him at home...
You okay? Are you hurt? That was scary, right?
What on earth is happening to Tokyo!?
Oh, Kuraishi!
Hyper Rescue appears to be on-site.
That girl. She might get saved.
If they start during the broadcast, we're going to connect you live.
Got it!
Ah, Eguchi-san!
I'm... Thank you very much.
I'm grateful that you're letting me do this even though I can't do anything.
And for helping her out. Shimamura Yuki.
Let's start with the briefing.
Thank you!
- Kimura-san, if you could. - Sure.
The collapsed Koenzaka Building in Shibuya.
Heavy equipment has finally arrived at the scene and debris is being removed.
I think there's a possibility that Shimamura-san will be rescued during the broadcast.
The police have stated
that more than 40,000 people are still trapped inside buildings.
10,000 people in elevators. Many of them are already dead.
As soon as the rescue begins, we're connecting live.
Copy that.
Kuraishi. You'll have to comment on what you see.
Understood.
- Nakata. The situation on the roads? - Yes.
The main roads towards inner-city area are finally starting to open up.
With a secured rescue route, high priority is being given to heavily injured patients
and the transportation of heavy equipment, water tenders and relief supplies.
Do we have footage?
We have the heli ready.
Now those relief supplies can finally reach the evacuation shelters.
Including us! Food is coming!
Excuse me...
I believe we should convey hopeful information such as this one.
- How come, rookie? - Hear, hear.
With nothing but suffocating news
and everyone's anxiety growing day by day,
I believe it's necessary to give the people at least a little bit of hope.
Why not?
Even victims want to have a pleasant time.
If we can show them the roads opening up and the supplies being delivered,
maybe we should use that as our lead story.
We've got new footage from our heli in the air.
I'm putting it on the main screen. Kimura-san.
A fire has broken out inside a high-rise apartment building in Azabu, Minato.
A high-rise apartment?
Aren't high-rise apartments supposed to be safe from fires!?
Are those people on the roof?
Apparently the management
was pressured by its inhabitants to resume operation of the elevators,
which is why they switched the power back on without confirming that all apartments are safe,
causing an electrical fire in one of the empty ones.
By the inhabitants' demands... I can totally see that.
Even so, those buildings are the symbols of disaster prevention measures.
How could this happen?
Are the sprinklers not working? What about the fire doors?
I'll see what I can find out!
- Also check with the fire department. - Understood!
This will be our top news. Fire in a high-rise apartment.
Wait a second.
Didn't we agree on the opening of the roads?
Now isn't the time to speak of hope.
Still, a fire in such a building is a very rare case.
Why would we use this story?
This fire symbolizes Tokyo.
A fire in a high-rise apartment
is the city's blind spot.
Everyone knew that an earthquake in Tokyo would be disastrous.
And yet we didn't stop with the centralization in Tokyo.
High-rise buildings are the symbols of Tokyo.
They made sure to tell us that they're completely safe.
And now they're burning.
What happened to the stock prices?
It's a horrible stock market crash.
The Great East Japan Earthquake was a joke in comparison.
You see, it's the cash flow that reflects the naked truth.
All those foreigners have dumped the Japanese stock market
and withdrew their money from our country at once.
Nothing can stop this panic.
The national securities are no exception.
If we go bankrupt, the Yen will become paper waste.
How are we going to import food? Maintain public order?
How are we supposed to protect this country?
It's time to wake up.
If this goes on...
...Japan will perish.
Excuse me...
The broadcast is in 30 minutes.
- Nakata. Did you get confirmation? - Yes.
I'm sorry, Kuraishi.
I leave the rest to you.
Takizawa-san?
- I'm sorry. - You've worked hard.
- My apologies. - Take care.
Takizawa-san has lost contact to his wife and son.
What?
They live in Koenji.
The fires have burned down everything in that area.
Several hundred people are dead, they say.
They were on their way to a shelter, when he lost contact
and they've gone missing.
Missing...
That's why he's leaving.
My people are also in a shelter.
- Your parents? - Yes.
My dad has a bad kidney.
I hope they can get him to a proper hospital.
Shouldn't you join them?
Then what about you?
I...
( Her sister replied. )
Yuki is alive!
Why? Why isn't it showing!?
Hey, I just got a message from my sister via LINE!
But my message still isn't marked as read!
- Let me see. - Why? What does it mean?
Maybe she simply hasn't read it yet?
But...!
- You replied right away? - Immediately!
It still isn't marked as read.
I immediately sent it the moment I received her message. Why!?
It's possible that her message from two days ago just got through.
I think it may have been delayed.
But... but... This means that Yuki is safe, right!?
I hope she is.
But... But I finally got a reply from her!
This means, she must be somewhere and...
Mika-chan. Calm down.
It's starting! The rescue troops have entered the building!
Yuki...
Takano, the manuscript?
I just sent it to printing! Fire in a high-rise apartment in Azabu, Minato.
Do we have a live feed from the heli?
Any second now.
Here's the manuscript for the fire in a high-rise apartment in Azabu, Minato.
Mika...
Mika!
Look at me!
Listen to me. That girl...
Shimamura Yuki is not your sister!
You understand that, right?
Right... She's not.
Don't worry.
I'm sure she's fine.
Misao-san.
Thanks.
Come on. Get in the studio.
10 seconds until broadcast.
We're leading with the aerial footage.
Add comments on the fly, Kuraishi.
Copy that.
Five seconds, four, three, two, one...
Flames are rising from a high-rise apartment building.
This is live footage from Azabu, Minato in Tokyo.
A section of a 40-storey building is burning intensely.
Thick smoke is rising from the building.
There are people on the roof waving their hands.
It must be ten or so people. They're waiting for help.
The building is engulfed in flames and smoke.
It is believed that this fire was caused by the restoration of electricity within the building.
Good evening.
We've reached the third night since the earthquake.
Unforeseen damages are spreading throughout the capital.
- Next up is electrical fires. - Copy that. We're ready.
Sir. The footage is ready.
The cause is believed to be an electrical fire due to some damaged electrical device.
How does an electrical fire happen?
This is a simulation of tremors of the same intensity as experienced during this earthquake.
Due to the intense tremors, electronic goods are being tossed around and damaged.
When a broken electric heater
or damaged power cables experience a power surge after a blackout,
there is a possibility of fires.
Those are called electrical fires.
In this case, it was the inconvenience of not being able to use the elevator and other devices
that made the inhabitants strongly demand for the power to be turned back on.
Therefore, the property management turned the power back on
without checking all of the apartments first.
High-rise apartments are equipped with various counter measures
such as sprinklers and fire doors to prevent any fire from spreading.
According to the management,
the length of the blackout caused by the earthquake
and the pressure by the inhabitants were beyond their expectations.
Beyond expectations, huh?
Omori-san!
Near the high-rise apartment
a helicopter crashed in the Shirokane residential area.
A heli crash!
Live footage is coming in!
The residential area where it crashed is up in flames!
There it is! Putting it on!
It was a news heli covering the fire in the high-rise apartment.
It's said to have collided with a drone.
A drone?
Somebody was flying a drone?
We have footage of the accident! Putting it on the main monitor!
What kind of idiot was that?
There are 200 helicopters in the air above Tokyo right now!
Flying a drone for fun is nothing short of suicidal!
There are 10 million people.
I guess it isn't surprising for there to be at least one such fucking idiot!
The city's blind spot, huh?
It's exactly as you said.
Come on guys...
Are we going to let Japan perish like that!?
Takano, I want a manuscript for the heli crash.
There may have been malfunctions beyond everyone's expectations due to the intense tremors.
( unforeseen / beyond expectations )
Kuraishi...
Anything can happen.
Face the reality, Kuraishi.
Don't lose your focus.
This is a disaster area.
Eguchi-san! Eguchi-san!
Hey, I need a hand! Anyone who's free!
There's movement at the scene! The rescue! The rescue!
- The rescue at the Shibuya Koenzaka Building! - Tamashiro-san! I'm sending the footage.
Eguchi-san!
It's on the center screen!
The rescue has begun at the Koenzaka Building!
Omori-san!
The heli crash can wait!
- We're connecting live to Shibuya! - Copy that!
Kuraishi! There's movement at the Shibuya Koenzaka Building!
There appears to be movement at the collapsed building in Shibuya!
There has been a continued effort by the Hyper Rescue unit and...
Now, I believe it's a stretcher?
...that's being carried out.
There are at least three people trapped inside, including the 17-year-old Shimamura Yuki.
Right now a strecher...
It appears that a person is being carried outside.
Right now, one person has been rescued from the building.
The person appears to be male.
They seem to have rescued a man.
The rescue troops are carrying him out on a stretcher.
His eyes are closed. I wonder if he's conscious?
Don't move his head! Slowly.
Will the girl be next!?
The rescue troops are calling out to him.
They're calling something out to the man who got rescued in a very loud voice.
Is there anyone else left inside?
It looks like the man is able to respond to them.
I guess he must be conscious?
They're still calling out to him in a loud voice.
Something seems to be getting affixed around the man's neck.
Ah! He just moved his hand!
- One male, confirmed alive! - One male, confirmed alive!
Several members of the rescue unit are returning to the building.
Their rescue efforts are being continued.
At least two more people are trapped inside the collapsed building.
Including Shimamura Yuki
who we were able to talk to via phone during yesterday's broadcast.
Shimamura-san is injured, but she was fully conscious.
More than 54 hours have passed since the earthquake.
They have to be rescued as soon as possible.
The collapsed Koenzaka Building in Shibuya is a nine-storey multi-tenant building.
The first and second floor collapsed due the earthquake two days ago
and there are people who are still trapped inside.
It's okay, right? Not giving up...
Live!
Please, live!
Yuki...!
Kuraishi! They have another person.
It looks like a second person is being rescued now.
A second person is being rescued now, it seems.
I can't see. Is it the girl?
The head seems to be wrapped in dressing.
It seems to be another man!
His head is wrapped in white dressing.
When strong pressure is applied to the body due to collapsed or fallen debris,
it's possible for the condition to take a sudden turn even after being rescued.
I'm worried about his condition.
Right now, the rescue troops are calling out to the man who got carried outside.
They're addressing him.
You're outside now!
I just saw that man's chest moving!
He seems to be breathing.
Right now, two people have been rescued from the collapsed Shibuya Koenzaka Building.
Both of them seem to be male.
There's some new movement.
Several rescue troops are entering the building one after another.
There's a tremor!
The NNJ studio is being shaken by intense tremors!
JMA news flash! It's a six!
Yuki-san...
Yuki...
It's okay, right? Not giving up...
YUKI!!
