2nd quake shakes Indonesia after temblor kills 467
By IRWAN FIRDAUS, Associated Press Writer Irwan Firdaus, Associated Press Writer β
PADANG, Indonesia β A second powerful earthquake rocked western Indonesia on Thursday as rescuers struggled to reach survivors of the previous day's temblor, which killed at least 467 people and left thousands trapped under collapsed buildings.
The death toll from Wednesday's undersea quake of 7.6 magnitude was expected to rise further after rescuers dig through the rubble in heavily populated towns of Sumatra island. The second, 6.8-magnitude quake damaged additional buildings Thursday.
"This is a high-scale disaster," Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari told Metro TV.
Padang, a coastal city of 900,000 and capital of West Sumatra province, became the immediate focus of relief workers.
At least 500 buildings in Padang collapsed or were badly damaged in the Wednesday evening quake, which also set off fires, said Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono.
A total of 467 people were confirmed dead and 421 seriously injured, said Tugiyo Bisri of the Social Affairs Ministry's crisis center. He said 376 deaths occurred in Padang, with rest of the deaths in four surrounding districts.
At least 80 people were missing at the 5-story Ambacang hotel in downtown Padang, said Indra, a paramedic who uses only one name. Rescuers, working in heavy rain, found two survivors and nine bodies in the hotel's rubble.
Terrified residents who spent a restless night were jolted by the fresh tremor on Thursday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the inland quake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 hit about 150 miles (240 kilometers) south of Padang at a depth of just under 20 miles (24 kilometers).
The second quake reportedly damaged 30 houses in Jambi, another Sumatran town. It was not yet clear if there were injuries, said Jambi Mayor Hasfiah, who uses only one name, like many Indonesians.
Collapsed or seriously damaged buildings in Padang included hospitals, mosques, a school and a mall. TVOne network footage showed heavy equipment breaking through layers of cement in search of more than 30 students it said were missing from the school where they were taking after-school classes.
Parents of missing students stayed up all night, waiting for signs of life under the rubble.
"My daughter's face keeps appearing in my eyes ... my mind. I cannot sleep, I'm waiting here to see her again," a woman, who identified herself only as Imelda, told TVOne, tears rolling down her face. She said her 12-year-old daughter Yolanda was in school to take science lessons.
"She is a good daughter and very smart. I really love her. Please God help her. I hope rescuers, everybody... can help her out of here. Please!" she said.
An unidentified boy told TVOne that he escaped from the top floor just as the three-story school crumpled. He said he was taking math lessons while many others were taking science courses.
Wednesday's temblor severed roads and cut off power and communications to Padang. Thousands fled in panic, fearing a tsunami. The shaking was so intense that people crouched or sat on the street in fear.
Children screamed as an exodus of thousands of frantic residents fled in cars and motorbikes, honking horns.
The quake was felt hundreds of miles (kilometers) away in Malaysia and Singapore, causing buildings there to sway.
The extent of damage in surrounding areas was still unclear due to poor communications. Indonesia, a poor, sprawling nation with limited resources, sits on a major geological fault zone and is frequently hit by earthquakes.
More than 3,000 people were killed in the last big earthquake in 2006 that hit Yogyakarta, a major city on the main island of Java.
The latest quakes came in the wake of a killer tsunami Tuesday that hit islands in the South Pacific, killing at least 120 people. Geologists said the two events were not related.
The Padang quakes were along the same fault line that spawned the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations.
Padang's mayor appealed for assistance on Indonesian radio station el-Shinta.
"We are overwhelmed with victims and ... lack of clean water, electricity and telecommunications," Mayor Fauzi Bahar said. "We really need help. We call on people to come to Padang to evacuate bodies and help the injured."
Thousands were believed trapped throughout the province, said Rustam Pakaya, head of the Health Ministry's crisis center.
The shaking felled trees and crushed cars in Padang. A foot could be seen sticking out from one pile of rubble. At daybreak, residents used their bare hands to search for survivors, pulling at the wreckage and tossing it away piece by piece.
The loss of telephone service deepened the worries of those outside the stricken area.
Hospitals struggled to treat the injured as their relatives hovered nearby.
Indonesia's government announced $10 million in emergency response aid and medical teams and military planes were being dispatched to set up field hospitals and distribute tents, medicine and food rations.
Local television reported more than two dozen landslides in the province. Some blocked roads, causing miles-long traffic jams of cars and trucks.

Earthquake: Malaysia Sends Three Aircraft To Fly Students Home
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Thursday night sent three military transport aircraft to Padang, Indonesia, to fly home some 300 students from the area devastated by yesterday evening's 7.6-magnitude earthquake.
The Hercules transport aircraft lifted off from the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) base in Subang at 10pm, carrying 26 people including 11 media crew.
National Security Council secretary Datuk Mohamed Tajudeen Abdul Wahab, who was at the base, said the aircraft were expected to return home at about 1am Friday.
The RMAF had been preparing for the mission soon after the earthquake struck west Sumatra, which claimed the lives on hundreds of people and damaging dozens of buildings.
The Malaysian Students Department in Jakarta reported that all Malaysian students were safe.
"Bringing them home is the best option as it would be difficult for them to remain in Padang. Furthermore, all lectures have been cancelled," deputy head of mission at the Malaysian embassy in Jakarta, Amran Mohamed Zain, told Bernama in Jakarta.
Meanwhile, about 300 Malaysian students from Universitas Andalas in Padang were waiting for their flight home.
A medical student from the university, Rafiza Nazir, 23, told Bernama when contacted that they wanted to be with their families during this uncertain times.
Malaysia had conveyed its condolences to the families of the victims.
"Malaysia is deeply shocked and saddened over the loss of lives and destruction caused," Wisma Putra said in a statement.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono welcomes Malaysia and other countries to help provide emergency aid to victims.
He hoped that in the spirit of Asean cooperation, the neighbouring countries could provide immediate aid to areas affected by the disaster.
Mercy Malaysia has sent two of its personnel to assess the aid needed.
"A RM100,000 fund has been made available from our emergency relief fund as an immediate response to the disaster," Mercy Malaysia said in a statement.
The Department of Meteorological said aftershocks from the powerful earthquake are expected to occur for a few days more.
The department, however, reminded the public not to be unduly worried as the aftershocks were becoming weaker.
An aftershock measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale was recorded at 9.53am today, causing tremors in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor.

Selepas bawa pulang pelajar, Malaysia tumpu salur bantuan
Four RMAF planes with 323 students and other Malaysians from quake-hit Padang
arrived at Subang airport Friday morning, said Dr Junaidy Abu Bakar,
Director of the Malaysian Student Department in Indonesia.

JAKARTA: Selepas selesai menyelaraskan gerakan membawa pulang 323 pelajar Malaysia yang menjadi mangsa gempa bumi berkekuatan 7.6 skala Richter di Padang, Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Indonesia kini menumpukan perhatian kepada usaha menyalurkan bantuan Malaysia ke kawasan bencana.
Timbalan Ketua Perwakilan di Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Indonesia, Amran Mohamed Zain berkata beberapa pasukan bantuan bencana dari Malaysia seperti Smart dan Mercy Malaysia sudah siap sedia untuk diterbangkan ke Sumatera Barat.
"Namun, kita menerima nasihat daripada pihak berkuasa Indonesia supaya mereka sebaik-baiknya datang esok," katanya kepada Bernama di sini, Jumaat.
Dalam 24 jam ini, beliau berkata kedutaan berkoordinasi dengan Kuala Lumpur bagi menyediakan beberapa keperluan asas pasukanpasukan itu seperti penjana kuasa elektrik dan pegawai kedutaan yang berada di Padang sedang mengusahakannya.
Beliau berkata kedutaan juga akan menyelaraskan pelbagai bentuk bantuan lain dari Malaysia seperti bekalan makanan dan minuman, pakaian dan selimut serta ubat-ubatan untuk disalur kepada pihak berkuasa Indonesia di Padang.
Mengenai rakyat Malaysia yang pulang dengan empat pesawat Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia, yang tiba di Subang pada pukul 8.45 pagi ini, Amran berkata selain 323 pelajar, turut berada dalam penerbangan itu ialah sekumpulan rakyat Malaysia lain.
"Semuanya berjumlah 380 penumpang termasuk sebahagiannya pelancong rakyat Malaysia yang terkandas selepas gempa, yang sempat menghubungi atau dihubungi keluarga masing-masing dan mendapat maklumat mengenai penerbangan kemanusiaan itu," katanya.
Amran berkata pegawai kedutaan juga masih berada di Padang untuk mengumpulkan maklumat jika terdapat rakyat Malaysia yang belum dapat dikesan atau sedang dirawat di hospital.
Kelmarin, beliau berkata terdapat 15 nama rakyat Malaysia, yang dikatakan sedang berada di Padang ketika kejadian pada Rabu, yang masih dicari keluarga mereka yang menghubungi bilik gerakan 24 jam di kedutaan.
"Mungkin ada yang telah balik sendiri ke Malaysia dengan kapal terbang, kami tidak dapat memastikannya. Kami minta keluarga menghubungi semula kedutaan bagi memberi maklumat jika sudah menemui mereka," katanya. BERNAMA |
