came rushing in six miles inland. most of the people found here have been found dead unfortunately and trapped in their vehicles. they ve gone into neighborhoods that weren t so heavily hit by the tidal wave and the reason for this is fairly pragmatic. they know that if people had been trapped when the water came in, their chances for survival are extremely low. not impossible but low. you have to go with the odds. there may be people still trapped in buildings away from the waterfront and that s where a lot of the focus has been placed at this particular time. there are many families who say they are hearing, communicating with people who are trapped but they can t direct officials to get to them. a lot of heartbreaking stories, i can tell you that. martin savidge standing by. in sendai. i appreciate it. meanwhile hundreds of aftershocks have continued to rock japan. our jacqui jeras will look at the seismic activity ahead, but
hold. they settle. you think of a pile of oranges. you know how you take one original out of there and everything kind of falls down, you walk away, five seconds later another orange drops down and you thing, oh, i thought i was done. a delayed reaction. this is something they ll be dealing with in the upcoming weeks, months. people could be trapped under rubble, that could shift things around a little bit. jacqui jeras, always appreciate your expertise. thank you very much. people in japan are encountering everything from unbelievable devastation to loss of life and long lines for foochld our reggie aqui is here. what do you have for us? this is what we have been getting. absolutely empty shelves, no food, no water. a lot of things we don t think of until we re in an emergency.
blankets, flashlights. even areas in tokyo that didn t receive the worst of the damage, they re getting these rolling power outages. i actually had a chance to talk to a woman named vary finerman. she s in japan teaching english. she sent in photos i want to show you right now. what you see in the photos are fissu fissures. she said there were two lonely police officers inside. there you can see again. plenty of supplies on the right-hand side that nobody needs but plenty on the left. let s talk with sarah. this looks a lot worse than it is. i showed up at about 4:00 p.m. and that was about where the end of the line was. they said they were going to be providing water from the trucks until 10:00 p.m. i went back to get my car to
drive over and thought, oh, boy, it s going to take forever. i got four jugs in a half hour. i was in and out. this is the only way to get fresh water is to stand in lines at these various city halls around the rural areas? exactly. that s what we got. how much did you get? is it enough to get to survive? i thought there was a limit so i only brought four. i didn t want to be greedy. i live alone. people were there with huge trash cans. there were no questions asked. it s whatever you want to do. sarah was surprised that she could actually get as much water that she needed at the time. i was surprised at her demeanor. she was awfully upbeat given how early i was talking to her. she said people are taking care of each other as much as they can. this was perhaps surprising. although this is very serious and i m not trying to make
they re pumping more seawater into the reactor. it s the only solution they have even though they have access to other water. that s in an attempt to try to cool the reactor. strangely enough though, officials say despite pumping water the levels are about the same meaning the reactors are still being exposed. what they re still hoping is ve if there is some damage to the reactor itself, some disintell gralgs that there s another containment around it. that being said some radiation has been detected. most of it has come from steam being released. this is a venting post. but officials have gone to great pains to reassure people that those levels are not high enough to be harmless. there are exclusions around there where over 200,000 people have been evacuated. many more than 100,000 people
