Welcome

Thank you for the thousands of emails in support of the original translations of Japanese Twitter accounts of the March 11th quake on my Facebook note, "Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter". Now, together with ten classmates and friends in the University of Cambridge, I have launched this blog to continue translating the voices of the Japanese people on their road to recovery.

Movies From the Ground: Tsunami Engulfs Fleeing People

One of the most vivid and disturbing scenes captured by a person who had fled to safety on the high ground.  The tsunami approaches and wipes away people who were not able to flee quickly enough.  People on the high ground are screaming at them to run.  Towards the end, they are shouting encouragements to the people who are running up the slope and expressing relief when they make the high ground.
