|
I was at the Station Square at 14:46, just after the 8 years from the quake. |
♦
|
The preparations for the night event called "candle night" was progressing.
A Public Address System was already installed.
|
♦
|
More than 50 people were gathering at the square to join the silent prayer.
|
♦
|
About 5 minutes before 14:46, the live broadcasting of the National memorial
ceremony were broadcasted by the PA system. When the broadcast started,
staff stopped their work one after the other, to pray silently.
|
♦
|
Almost all people at their pray silently following the cue from the PA system.
|
♦
|
Even during the silent pray, a huge display installed at the wall of
Nakago Department Store was broadcasting the commercial short videos.
