岩手県・東南部に位置する大船渡市から、地震・津波による被害の状況を伝えた映像(3月12日)
朝6時ごろ、市立大船渡中学校の付近・海岸から約500メートル離れた高台から、北東方向(JR大船渡線・大船渡駅付近)を臨むと、壊滅的な打撃を受けた市街地の様子が一望できた。
繁華街であるはずの大船渡町・茶屋前地区は、土砂やがれきに覆われた一帯から、大きなビルや家屋だけが、辛うじて原型のわかる状態で顔をのぞかせるが、どの建屋も大きく損壊し、無残な姿をさらしている。
主要幹線道路の国道45号線(浜磯街道)も、もはや、どこが道だったのか、全く不明な状態。
国道にかかる笹崎歩道橋は、橋脚上部まで、家屋の残骸や漂流物に埋もれていた。
一夜明けて、自分の家や周辺の状況をあらためて確認しにきたのか、荒野のごとく変わり果てた市街地をたたずむ住民たちの姿が、あちらこちらで確認できた。
朝7時ごろ、大船渡中学校の北側に約200メートル、国道45号線に面し、やや低地にある大船渡小学校では、教室まで水が襲ってきたためか、校庭には、流された車が何台も横転、あるいは置き去りにされていた。
校舎のガラスや壁面には、くっきりと津波の痕跡が残る。
避難したと思われる子供たちのランドセルや学習帳なども、もの悲しげに散乱していた。
校庭からのぞむ国道付近も壊滅状態。国道に沿って走り、愛称「ドラゴンレール」で親しまれたJR大船渡線の線路も、がれきに覆いつくされ、ときおり“ぐにゃり”と変形した軌道が確認できる…

Footage: Report of the earthquake and tsunami damage situation from Ofunato city, situated on the southeastern area of Iwate prefecture. (March 12th)
At around 6 a.m. in the morning, looking out northeastward (near Ofunato station of JR Ofunato line) from near Ofunato Municipal Junior High School, a hill approximately 500m from the sea, one can view the situation at the city center, that has suffered a devastating blow. Ofunato town of Chayamae area, which is supposed to be a busy shopping district is now exposing its merciless state, with each of its buildings greatly damaged. Within the neighborhood covered in gravel and rubble, only the taller houses and buildings can be recognized as its former self. It is impossible to make out where one of the major arterial roads, national route 45 (Hamaiso highway) used to be. The Sasazaki pedestrian overpass which stands over the national route is covered in building debris and floating wreckage to its top. A number of local residents have returned to examine their homes and neighborhood, which has gone through a drastic change overnight, now practically a wasteland.
At around 7 a.m. in the morning, about 200m to the north side of Ofunato Junior High School at the lower grounds of Ofunato Elementary School facing national route 45, several cars have been washed away to the schoolyard, toppled over sideways or abandoned due to the water reaching as high as its classrooms.
On the walls and glass of the school building, traces of the tsunami are clearly apparent. Those backpacks and notebooks of the children who supposedly escaped are scattered melancholically. Looking out to the national route from the schoolyard, the area is completely wiped out. The JR Ofunato line that ran along the route, nicknamed as the “Dragon Rail” is now covered in debris, and in some parts, the tracks are bent and disfigured.
