1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,800
I’m still shocked. I can’t come
to terms with what happened.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,760
I feel that the disaster
is still ongoing.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,400
We were asleep when
the earthquake happened.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,200
I was with my family: my son,
my daughter and my husband.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,440
It felt like doomsday.

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,280
People were crammed
and running in crowds.

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,880
It’s like a scene
of the judgement day.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,840
We could no longer feel
anything other than fear,

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120
terror, shivering, in the cold,
under the rain.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960
My children were shaking
in front of me.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,400
We had no clue
what needed to be done.

12
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,200
We had to make sure
our relatives were safe,

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,600
but our building was toppling
and swaying before us.

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,880
The internet connection
and the electricity went out.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:50,040
We could hardly use the networks
to check up on the people we know.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,960
We didn’t find out

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,960
until around 9 am.

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,200
It was confirmed that
my relatives passed away.

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
We then went to Jindires.

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,560
It was horrific.
All the buildings collapsed.

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,160
From the outskirts of the city,

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360
not a single building was spared.
People were under the rubble.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Everyone is dead.

24
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,360
I hope that…

25
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:15,080
the response will be intensified,

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,720
and that people are rescued
from under the rubble,

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,400
and those dead to be buried.

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,320
Any action must be taken,

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,080
as the area is completely demolished.
