I was watching the TV for a whole day, and my concerns were confirmed. They report only either the fear of the disaster or emotional scenes of survivors. If you report the reality with sober eyes, it would not make a program, or would break the code of the broadcasters. It is no mistake that you assume that all of the reports on TV are shot somewhere safe, where TV crew can safely visit. But, based on a variety of information, we can imagine the reality. We need to use all of our imagination, and think hard to find what we can do. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="hps"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

This idyllic town was one of the worst hit areas by the Tsunami. <br />
<br />
As people were trying to evacuate by their cars to the hill, the Tsunami was going against the natural flow of the river. On the left of the river, a fire engine was still trying to help cars to escape. Then, the Tsunami swallowed everything in town. One of the buses narrowly escaped the muddy waves.<br />

The next morning, the town was found deep under the water and most of the houses were gone. Only several high concrete buildings were left in the water. On the rooftop, some people managed to survive overnight and were waiting to be rescued.<br />

The mayor of the town was on the rooftop of the three-storey town hall to monitor the Tsunami with 30 people before it had reached them, but when the Tsunami arrived with an unexpected height, 20 of them were immediately wiped away. 10 people including the mayor survived the huge waves by holding onto a steel tower at the top of the building. After the Tsunami, the only remains of the building left was its steel frame.</span><br />
