Why couldn't they flee towards the hill?The lost lives of 74 children
The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in March 2011, claimed more than 20,000 lives. At Okawa Elementary School in Ishinomaki City Miyagi Prefecture, 74 children and 10 faculty members were killed in the Tsunami caused by the massive earthquake. The children initially tried to evacuate towards the hill, but the teachers instructed them to evacuate "towards the river". Why was such a judgment made in an unprecedented emergency? The families of the deceased stood up to seek the truth. ★During the VTR(around 2:50) 、the date of the earthquake is incorrect. It is 2011. We sincerely apologize for the matter. 2011年3月に起きた東日本大震災では、2万人以上の命が奪われました。宮城県石巻市の大川小学校では、地震による津浪で児童74人と教職員10人が犠牲になりました。山側を目指し逃げようとした子どもたち。しかし教師たちの指示は“川側へ”でした。未曾有の非常時になぜそのようは判断が下されたのでしょうか?真実を求め遺族らが立ち上がりました。 **日本語版はこちらです** 【なぜ子どもたちは避難できなかったのか】津波に襲われた大川小学校が“遺したもの” 東日本大震災から12年【newsおかえり特集】 • 【なぜ子どもたちは避難できなかったのか】津波に襲われた大川小学校が“遺したもの”...
