大川小津波訴訟、遺族側の勝訴が変える学校安全
The total number of Okawako children was 108, and 103 children were in school until the end of the class, excluding 5 children who were absent or left early on the day of the earthquake. There were a total of 13 faculty members, and the principal attended the graduation ceremony of his daughter's junior high school, so he was absent from the afternoon. On the day of the earthquake, there were 11 teachers, a vice-principal, a chief of academic affairs, a homeroom teacher who also served as a chief of each grade, and a school nurse. 51 minutes after the big earthquake, a tsunami struck Okawa, killing 70 children (69 under school management, 1 absentee) and 10 teachers, and 4 including 1 who left early and was affected by the disaster and they are still missing. At that time, in Okawa, it took 51 minutes from the occurrence of the earthquake to the arrival of the tsunami, and in the city, there was a guide saying "The tsunami is coming. Please escape to the hill" on the disaster prevention radio etc. Although there was a voice of children saying "I want to evacuate. I should escape to the back mountain", children stayed in the schoolyard at the discretion of the teacher. About 50 minutes later, I started moving to the "triangular zone" near the river, and immediately after that, they were caught up in the tsunami.
