READ MORE: Survivor remembers the colleagues who were swept away - Asia, World - The Independent: "Katsumi Suzuki was halfway through a shift at Fukushima's reactor No. 4 on 11 March when the power plant began to shake violently. People had to hang on for what seemed like minutes as the walls and walkways vibrated. Then it went dark. When the seismic shocks stopped, the engineer whose job was to monitor radiation levels at the plant led his colleagues out of the reactor building to the office block on higher ground.
Sitting cross-legged in a grey tracksuit yesterday on a mattress at the Minamisoma evacuees' centre 15 miles away, the engineer relayed the disaster in restless bursts. 'I got a call from Tepco [the plant's operators] telling me that a tsunami was coming and it would be safer up there.'"
