[00:15.54]A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP

[00:19.62]Strange things were happening in the countryside in northeast Hebei.

[00:26.28]For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.

[00:34.53]Farmer'swives noticed that the well walls had deep cracks 2 in them.

[00:41.51]A smelly 3 gas came out of the cracks.

[00:46.18]In the farmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat.

[00:53.32]Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.

[00:58.75]Fish jumped out of bowls and ponds.

[01:04.31]At about 3:00 am on July 28,1976,people saw bright lights in the sky.

[01:13.06]The sound of planes could be heard outside Tangshan

[01:18.63]even when no planes were in the sky.

[01:23.49]In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked 4 and burst 5.

[01:30.96]But the one million people of the city,

[01:35.50]who thought little of these events,went to bed as usual that night.

[01:41.98]At 3:42 am everything began to shake.

[01:47.83]It seemed that the world was at an end!

[01:52.80]Eleven kilometres directly 6 below the city

[01:58.05]the greatest earthquake of the 20th century began.

[02:03.40]It was heard in Beijing,which is one hundred kilometres away.

[02:09.78]One-third of the nation felt it.

[02:14.64]A huge crack 1 that was eight kilometres long

[02:20.20]and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals 8.

[02:28.14]Steam burst from holes in the ground.

[02:33.10]Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt.

[02:38.38]In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.

[02:45.93]Two-thirds of the people died or were injured 9 during the earthquake.

[02:52.59]Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents.

[02:59.67]The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.

[03:07.32]But how could the survivors 11 believe it was natural?

[03:12.97]Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.

[03:18.53]All of the city's hospitals,

[03:22.68]75% of its factories and building and 90% of its homes were gone.

[03:31.04]Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves.

[03:36.61]No wind,however,could blow them away.

[03:41.96]Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.

[03:50.32]The railway tracks 12 were now useless pieces of steel.

[03:55.65]Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.

[04:01.21]Half a million pigs and millions of chickens had died.

[04:06.67]Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People were shocked.

[04:13.81]Then,later that afternoon,another big quake 7 shook Tangshan.

[04:21.25]Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped 13 under the ruins.

[04:27.42]More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard to get.

[04:35.07]People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.

[04:41.13]All hope was not lost.

[04:45.26]The army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.

[04:53.20]Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.

[04:57.46]The army organized teams to dig 15 out those who were rapped 14 and to bury the dead.

[05:04.40]To the north of the city,

[05:08.38]most of the 10,000 miners 16 were rescued from the coal mines.

[05:14.31]Workers built shelters 17 for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.

[05:21.36]Fresh water was taken to the city by train,truck and plane.

[05:27.31]Slowly,the city began to breathe again.

[13:05.95]THE STORY OF AN EYEWITNESS 22 by Jack 23 London

[13:11.72]Never before in history has a city been so completely 24 destroyed.

[13:18.67]San Francisco is gone.

[13:22.74]Nothing is left of it but memories and some houses far from the centre of the city

[13:29.80]Its businesses are gone.

[13:33.64]The factories,hotels and palaces are all gone too.

[13:39.80]Within an hour after the earthquake,

[13:43.95]the smoke of San Francisco's fires could be seen a 160 kilometres away.

[13:51.71]The sun was red in the dark sky.There was no stopping the fires.

[13:59.16]There was no way to organize or communicate.

[14:03.83]The steel railway tracks were now useless.

[14:08.69]And the great pipes for carrying water under the streets had burst.

[14:14.75]All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe

[14:20.21]were gone in the thirty seconds the earth moved.

[14:25.25]Out at sea it was calm.No wind came up.

[14:30.82]Yet from every direction -- east,west,north,and south,

[14:37.06]strong winds blew upon the unlucky city.

[14:42.21]Man himself had to make ruins of some of the city's best buildings

[14:48.45]so that they would not be a danger to those in the streets.

[14:53.73]A list of buildings not destroyed was now only a few addresses.

[15:00.49]A list of the brave men and women would fill a library.

[15:05.95]A list of all those killed will never be made.

[15:11.23]Amazing as it may seem,Wednesday night was a quiet night.

[15:17.29]There were no crowds.The policemen said nothing;even their horses were quiet.

[15:25.05]There were no shouts or people doing crazy things.

[15:30.01]In all those terrible hours I saw not one woman who cried,

[15:36.07]not one man who was excited.

[15:40.23]Before the fires,through the night,

[15:44.59]thousands and thousands of people who had lost their homes left for safety.

[15:51.14]Some were covered in blandets.

[15:55.09]Sometimes whole  families put everything they owned and could save into wagons 25.

[16:01.85]They helped one another climb the high hills around the city.

[16:07.21]Never in all San Francisco's history were her people so kind as on terrible night.
