This was a massive earthquake, and it's clearly earlier reports that had been
trickling in so far were almost certainly getting much worse. In fact, just in the last
couple of minutes, we've gotten a word that 900 students buried about an
hour from the epicenter, many roads in the area destroyed so rescue workers
can't get through. Even here in Beijing, many of us, myself included, felt
disoriented for a time. We weren't sure exactly what it was until we realized it was
a huge earthquake a thousand miles away.
Near the epicentre in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu, early footage
show dazed residents taking over the streets. One with a bandage on her head could
be seen getting into a taxi for help. Chengdu is a city of some 10 million
people But closer to the quake zone in a small city of Chongqing，a pair
of primary schools collapsed, injuring a hundred chilren and killing
at least 5.
The earthquake struck with such power, that highrises in Beijing,
clearly around the other side of the country, swayed back and forth, sending
thousands scrambling for safety.
"We're on the 15th floor and back then 10 minutes ago, the building started shaking quite a lot. So, we just left. But there was no damage that we can see and nothing fell over and nothing was broken. So it's just a new experience for people to feel an earthquake, I think."
The epicenter is a mountainous area, best known as home to a giant
panda research center. Even before state-run Chinese media released many details,
the country's premier announced he would head directly to the quake zone, an ominous sign that things may get much worse.
"Many phone lines in the area continue to be down so the full extent of the damage is not yet known. And there are still aftershocks, the series of fairly strong aftershocks ongoing. Diana?"
" so, Neo, how do you expect information to travel out
the area. Will it be difficult to know anything for how long? "
"It's very difficult. In fact, early word we received was that things were
relatively milder that there wasn't serious damange. And then came report that chinese
premier was heading to the region immediately. That was the first indication
that things were bad, information in the last, just half hour, so it really
just started to trigger out, showing the true severity of this. It's going to
get a lot worse then.
"Alright, thanks, Nelson, got that report that hundreds and hundreds
of students may be trapped in at least one building."
