Sendai, Japan, Mar 6 (EFE, (Camera: Antonio Hermosín).- The Arahama school in northeastern Japan served as a refuge to save the lives of 320 students, teachers and others from the tsunami that swept through the area in 2011. Today the building honors the victims and pays tribute to the school’s exemplary response to such a major catastrophe.Led by school officials, the students ran up the stairs to the roof of the four-story waterfront building after hearing the tsunami warning following the huge 9.1-magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Sendai on that fateful day nearly 10 years ago.FOOTAGE OF THE ARAHAMA SCHOOL IN SENDAI, HAPAN. SOUNDBITES OF CHIKAKO SHOUJI, SURVIVOR AND VOLUNTEER AT THE ARAHAMA SCHOOL:"After the tsunami alarm sounded, I picked up my mother, who was at my house, and then we drove to a shelter further inland. We narrowly escaped, because there was a lot of traffic on the road and it only took 10 minutes between the alarm sounded and the tsunami arrived." "I was born here, and when I was a child, my grandfather who had also always lived here, told me that tsunamis would never happen here even if there were earthquakes. I believed him."
