08:19The elevator is on the front of the front.
08:25The elevator is used as a front door.
08:30You can't stand up on the front.
08:34The earthquake lasts for six minutes.
08:37It's the most powerful recorded quake in Japan's history.
08:40The fourth most powerful ever.
08:42It's tremors are felt throughout the entire country.
08:45A distance of more than 1,500 miles north to south.
08:48And violent aftershocks follow in its wake.
08:54I'm talking.
08:56I can't do that.

09:17I'm okay.
09:18I'm okay.
09:19Let's turn on the door.
09:21I'm outside now and I can feel the ground shaking.
09:51There's several people on their phones, but I can't reach, I can't reach my husband, the
10:02phone is still not connected.
10:07This is terrifying y'all, I can feel the ground moving quite a bit, I hope he's somewhere
10:12safe.
10:13Ok, here we go again, a lot bigger this time.
10:24Bloody hell, I have never in my life known anything quite so bloody scary.
10:49Jesus Christ, man, oh my god, I hope no one's dead.
11:04I guess this is the aftershock of the earthquake, I'm not sure, because it's still shaking a
11:09little bit and I am scared s*** right now, I am f***ing scared.
11:16Well, ladies and gentlemen, you guys have just seen first stand of earthquake in Japan.
11:25I am underneath the desk.
11:27People say it doesn't really help, because if the building collapses, you know, I'm going
11:32to be underneath the rubble anyways, so, but, oh, there's another earthquake.
11:40We're feeling aftershocks quakes still continue here in our broadcasting center right here
11:44in Tokyo.
11:45And in Tokyo, several fires have broken out.
11:48The fire department says fires have been reported in several places, including...
11:522.53pm.
11:53The largest recorded earthquake in Japan's history finally subsides, but the aftershocks continue.
12:02Thousands of buildings are damaged.
12:04In Tokyo, a ceiling collapses on a college graduation ceremony, killing two people and injuring 25.
12:11by smallpox in Tokyo.
12:16There is no stopping our
12:34conference, mainly in and out of Illinois.
12:36Aren't you, uh, are you not glad I told us to get the f*** out of here?
12:39That's exactly where we f***ing were.
12:40That's where we just were.
12:41That's what people did.
12:45You need power to.
12:53You wouldn't save him, you'd just stay here and go out here before he's done.
13:06Okay, we have an earthquake right now, and this is actually moving.
13:17Can you see the cracks moving?
13:22There's water.
13:23I don't know if water lines are broken, but this water was not there a minute ago.
13:30It's making me kind of nervous.
13:31Especially since this is, uh, reclaimed land that I'm on right now.
13:38This used to be part of Tokyo Bay.
13:41And they created this land by throwing landfill and mountains, rocks out here.
13:48And so we, this land could just go potentially, I don't know.
13:57The Misawa Air Base is located along the far northern coast of Japan's main
14:01island, 200 miles from the epicenter of the quake.
14:05I was, like, the lockers were shaking.
14:07I was trying to open my locker, and then, like, it was, like, bad.
14:10Like, we were moving like this.
14:11I was across the street at the gym, I was shaking the cars in the parking lot.
14:14I was shaking, like, my knees, and I was about to fall.
14:17I was standing there in front of the gym, like, whoa.
14:19This is the command post.
14:23Real world.
14:25The 35th fighter wing commander has directed a full accountability recall for all military
14:38and family members.
14:41What does that mean?
14:41It means go home.
14:43Good morning.
14:45Command.
14:45Command.
14:45Command.
