The South-Hyogo Earthquake

Updated Mar.15th 1998

 


5:46 am, January 17th 1995,
I was in bed reading a log file of BBS.

Then my body, my wife and children, my house and all are shaken very hard.

Owing to the failure of power supply and scattered matters,
I couldn't go out of my bed in the dark.
After dawn, I found terrible scenes around.


 

 

Fallen road bridge

 

@Nomacho, Nishinomiya City

The road bridge fell down upon a railroad line.

Fallen pedestrian deck

@Komanocho, Takarazuka City

Deck at Hanshin horse race course dropped down to the ground.

 

Broken market

 

@Kitaguchicho, Nishinomiya City

Shops broke down and blocked a street.

Broken houses

@Oidecho, Nishinomiya City

Broken wooden houses blocked narrow roads.

 

People walking on railroad

 

@Kitaguchicho, Nishinomiya City

Many roads are blocked with broken houses. And railroads are rare passage for people.

Broken water valve

@Okadayama, Nishinomiya City

As water supply stopped for days, broken water valve was the precious source of water.
