Apocalyptic aftermath:
Report from earthquake-affected Ishikawa

Massive landslides, huge cracks in roads, collapsed buildings, aftershocks and bad weather: 72 hours after the quake in Ishikawa prefecture, our two-person Deutsche Welle team managed to get to traumatized towns Wajima and Suzu. What we saw there was nothing short of apocalyptic… This was nothing I even thought about before going there, but I was probably the first German reporter to reach the affected area after the quake.
