15:00, colleagues received the message that they need an interview with Sichuan earthquake. Because they are Japan, and is a holiday, so let colleagues asked directly to the Hong Kong headquarters, did not pay attention too. After one hour, from Hong Kong counterparts to the SMS, told me that in Hong Kong also felt the shock, Shanghai and Beijing obviously shocked, and some office buildings to evacuate the crowd. Chongqing has reportedly killed three people, are students. Chengdu airport has been closed, the temperature is on the way to the disaster areas, and Chengdu have a different phone. The Hong Kong Journalists rushed to the disaster areas, is currently only able to fly to Chongqing.




Is not just Chengdu, Chongqing phone also Dabu Tong, until the evening to find their families, know all safe. Back to the hotel watching TV, the death toll has been on the rise, and then the Internet and found that there are some areas because of communication disruption, not statistics casualties. The most serious is that because of traffic blocked, although the army sent out a rescue, he was blocked in Dujiangyan. Is also available in the chemical plant leak.




The most shocking, of course, or those pictures, because with the Internet, so that we can use to experience the fastest speed in the disaster areas. See the CNN reports, photos and videos are mostly from the Internet, such as the earthquake occurred at the earthquake situation, and the details of all the witnesses from the scene. Of course, this is also the official media quickly reported the quake and follow up the situation, because ultimately, the most authoritative figures, or to rely on official media and the Government's action is very fast, the first time in the army mobilization, relief supplies The conveyance.




Japanese media is also available in the Western media reports today on two natural disasters, Myanmar is also available in China. However, the Chinese people affected by the situation, and the victims in Myanmar lucky compared to many, because the Chinese Government has the ability, but also see their determination to carry out relief activities.




The concern, of course, is also on how disaster relief to help victims resolve life issues. However, there are still a few questions, if it can not help. First, earthquake forecast, from a scientific point of view of the difficulties still exist, but the earthquake had occurred, should be more than other places of alert, whether before the earthquake occurred without any forewarning? » Second, why do so many students were in the collapse of the pressure inside the school, official media figures, 900 students. Because they run fast enough? » Third, why so many buildings collapsed in the quake, seismic intensity is too much » Or poor construction quality of buildings » Natural disasters will certainly lead to casualties, but if the high number, it is not simply a factor of natural disasters.




Last week in Tokyo, Japan, has experienced two earthquakes, including one to his awakened from their sleep. Remember, felt the earthquake, the last time, should be in Shanghai in the late 1970s when. Reminds me of Japan's 1995 Kobe earthquake, that the catastrophe, exposed by the Japanese government in the Kansai region lack of adequate preventive measures and disaster relief system. The earthquake that caused the Japanese earthquake science, urban construction earthquake, and the importance of preventing earthquakes and traffic. It is precisely because of this, although Japan is an earthquake-prone areas, but there were no major losses. The last one, is the Niigata earthquake, nine people were killed and the nuclear power plant accident, two hours after the solution.




Japan's experience in the earthquake, did not panic, because this is how Japan learned its lesson for the improvement of the matter is well known, so it is reassuring to believe that if a critical situation, there will be corresponding measures.
