Husky Reacts: New Year’s Day Earthquake
With hope fading and time running out for those still trapped under earthquake rubble, a surprise in Suzu city; one elderly woman pulled from her home alive. Another discovery next door; an elderly man, bruised and confused, but conscious. Unlikely survivors after four days without help in a disaster zone.
Ominous landslides reshape coasts and valleys.
“Hurry,” they yell on the day of the quake. “It’s crumbling,” as this one tears through a neighborhood in Wajima city, sweeping away houses and roads.
“It’s a huge challenge,” says Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumio Kushida. “We have received offers of help from around the world,” he says.
