Narration
Agadir, the old port city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, with an average 300 days of Sun a year one of the most popular tourist destinations in North Africa. A wonderful beach, white Hotel palaces and colourful life in streets and alleys, that was until March 1, 1960 Agadir.
On March 1, the Earth opened up. The clocks stopped at midnight. Agadir was destroyed by an earthquake.
Whole districts fell together in less than 10 seconds. Massive concrete structures such as this one not stood up the disaster. What remains of this hotel was nothing but a pile of debris.
The hotel "Saada" before and after the earthquake. The hotel "Marhaba" - before and after. The hotel "Gautier" - and what was left of it. The Europeans has been destroyed to 70 percent. There is No more the old town of Agadir. Our cameraman, Horst Grund, sent us following experience report: A day after the earthquake, I flew with a Noratlas machine of the federal air force to the disaster area. In this hour, the misfortune for us was nothing more than a newspaper.
Among us the French Atlantic fleet with course in Agadir. Yet we not suspected what was coming to us. The first flight of Agadir reminds me of a bombed-out city.
The airfield has been luckily spared. Almost without a break machines of the German air force land here. Bring blankets, hospital equipment and doctors.
At the same time, the teams of the Americans arrive. To get the French, the British, the Dutch and the Sweden. Hospitals are set up outside the gates of the city. Mountains of picks and shovels ready for the clean-up work.
The language of the help is thankfully international. Yet everything is messed up. No one has exact instructions. Each help command is forced to act on his own.
The second day in Agadir: called today already over 2 thousand dead, but still have no idea How many of the 35 thousand inhabitants among the debris are buried. The stitch is still the survivors.
The thermometer shows 41 degrees in the shade. There is a precaution. One speaks of cholera, typhoid fever and even the plague.
The hope of To find alive in the rubble is less than low. Nevertheless, the Moroccan Crown Prince has arranged to continue the search in all circumstances. Here, an injured will be recovered. But most are dead.
Our cameraman reported the third day: the body odor of Agadir is almost unbearable. The population is evacuated and in need stay at the outskirts of the city.
The authorities report today 12 thousand dead. Before the city will be permanently sealed, I'm Once again by Agadir... I'm going on a road that will have no end.
Mass graves are dug before the gates of Agadir. The rescue teams are at the end of their tether. An hour ago, Crown Prince has arranged that for the transport of the bodies to sing Mulay Hassan.
The 5th day. The misery in Agadir is beyond my capacity. Today I was in the emergency quarters, where the local population will be supplied with food and water.
The city itself is now as extinct. Only a few animals are there whose strange balance spring, so they say now, had announced the disaster.
A few hours later at the airfield. I'm the last Europeans to be transported from here. Many tourists are among them. They wanted to spend their holidays in Agadir.
The 6th day. Goes for the second time - is now King Mohammed at the scene of the disaster Crown Prince Mulay Hassan, who has taken over the management of the relief effort, refuses to smoke the disease-prone city with napalm bombs. He is obsessed by the idea that there are people still living under this rubble.
The danger grows from hour to hour. Chlorinated lime is approached.American spray guns entering activity with DDT powder.
All day long the disinfection machines via the city circle.
In the long years of my activity as a newsreel reporter, the tragedy of Agadir is the shattering experience. On the seventh day, I had to leave Agadir. I left a ghost town.
