Deadly quake. A strong earthquake strikes in the middle of the night in Italy. Tonight, the rising toll of dead and injured and the growing number of those left homeless. The honored. For the first time in 18 years, the images were allowed to see of the homecoming of an American killed in war. Meltdown. A 25 mile long ribbon of ice has broken at the bottom of world. And there’s a disturbing new warning about what’s to come. And making a difference. Communities acting locally not waiting for Washington for an economic boost. Nightly News begins now. From NBC News world headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.
Good evening. It happened in the middle of the night before some of the victims knew what it was. It was it turns out the worst and deadliest earthquake in 3 decades to strike in Italy and it shook the mountainous central region of the country. It claimed a lot of the lives and it crumbled a lot of medieval history in just seconds. As of tonight, it’s believed over 150 are dead, over 1500 injured. More than 50,000 people are feared displaced.
It measured a 6.3 and was believed centered near the town of L’Aquila. That’s where our own Stephanie Gass begins our reporting tonight. Stephanie, good evening. Good evening, Brian. Well, this quake was the deadliest quake in 30 years and its epicenters struck a town that knows only too well how much force they can have. This city has been destroyed twice before by earthquakes.
It was 3:32 when the quake struck this morning. The tremor lasting just 30 seconds. But in that flash, entire blocks of buildings in L’Aquila, a 13th century fortress town, were leveled. One eyewitness said the quake sounded like a bomb going off. “Last night was like the end of the world. The building was rocking. You couldn’t walk.”
This man dazed pulled from the rubble after a 3-hour rescue effort broke down in tears. Using bare hands to dig and ladders to carry the injured, 4000 rescue workers are trying to reach the trapped. At least, 150 people are dead and 1500 injured. But those numbers are expected to climb as reports come in of towns and villages entirely flattened and cut off by destroyed roads.
Phone and power lines are down and gas mains ruptured. “Everything is destroyed. Our house has gone.” At least, tens of thousands of people are homeless. And the government is racing to set up a tent city as well as medical field clinic. With L’Aquila’s main hospitals damaged, medical teams are treating the injured outside. The government appealed for help from doctors and nurses across Italy. L’Aquila, 60 miles northeast of Rome, flanked by the Apennine Mountains lies on an active earthquake fall between the Eurasian and African plates, in central Italy’s ABRUTZO region.
