The Town That Vanished In 4 Minutes

A giant earthquake that occurs maybe once in 1,000 years hits

the Tohoku area. Many people lost their lives. My friend's wife lost

her life. 3:26pm: The first wave hits Rikuzentakata, Iwate

prefecture. 3:30pm: The wave engulfs the entire town. This is the

story of what happened in those 4 minutes. Listen to the voices

of the people who survived in Rikuzentakata, and know that

it can happen to you, too. A Seismic Level 5 earthquake hits

Iwate prefecture at 6:51AM, even as I work on this book.

It's not over yet. We have to be with them."
