More bits and pieces
There was an amateur video from the first day of the quakes/tsunamis shown. Really amateur -- at one point we got to watch his feet while they were talking, and the camera jerks at some points. Still, riveting in part because you know it's real. Started with him filming the tsunami, from the building they were in. Flooded below them, carrying all the familiar wreckage. And when the waters stopped moving, below them was a crazy quilt, including a silver container on its side partly under the curved awning of the building, another maybe half-container or trash container -- red, also on its side, sort of at the end of the silver one, and more wreckage around and beyond that. Just past the red half-container, there's a black van on its side, tilted. And a man standing in the driver's window, holding two kids in his arms, looking out at the water. Ahead of the van, there's a tree -- and a man holding on to it, standing on loose wreckage. Nearer the building, there's a woman, just standing on the wreckage.
( What happened? )
That's about it for today. Wow! It has been a week since this started? Seems like just yesterday... Back to work!
