Aftershock: Earthquake in New York Page #6

From all the construction sites

in new york city

On the street within an hour.

Mayor, white house

on the satellite phone.

Mayor lincoln.

My mom is not going

to be able to cope with this.

We will find

your mother.

Yeah, but...

How do I tell her

about my dad?

You will find a way

when the time comes.

Who are you?

Me?

I am nicholai.

I know.

Diane, it could be long time

to find drinking water.

Better save.

How long is long?

Don't know.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

I wasn't thinking.

Ladies and gentlemen

Washington just declared us

a federal disaster.

Fema, urban search

and rescue teams

Will be arriving at floyd

bennett field in brooklyn

And taken by helicopter

to manhattan.

Let the tv crews know

Where they'll be landing.

Whoa, wait a minute here.

I got damn near

16,000 men out there.

Now that's not counting

your local emergency units

Struggling with this thing

right now

Fema shows up

and suddenly

it's a photo op?

You're out of line.

Let me guess.

This stuff replays

around election time, right?

For all we know, ahearn

There'll be no city

to hold an election.

My point exactly.

I'm calling for cameras

Because the footage

might give people hope.

Hope!

Because they see

the entire country

Mobilizing to help us.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth,

you all right?

Yeah, as well as can

be expected, I guess.

Thank you.

Take this.

Thanks.

No, I'm fine, thanks.

How's mark ross?

He, uh...

Mark didn't

make it, sir.

Okay, okay, um...

Look, you're going to have to

take over emergency management.

Yes, sir.

This is chief ahearn,

from the fire department.

Pleased to meet you.

Elizabeth perez.

She's going to be director

of emergency management.

Elizabeth...

I have every confidence

in you.

Thank you, sir.

Sorry to see you

under these circumstances.

Would you like

some water?

Yes, please.

From what I see out there

We've got a lot

of improvising to do.

All right, let's prioritize.

Okay.

Injured--

Major hospitals will be

on back-up generator

With enough fuel

for 48 hours.

But there are--

thanks--

Lots of people lined up

around the blocks already.

Are there any streets

clear yet?

One trunk down each side

of manhattan.

Good.

Um...

Let's set up

an outdoor infirmary

Right here in the park.

We can pull medical supplies

from the nearby hospitals

We can buses.

We can get military vehicles

to shuttle the victims.

It'll be easier

to dispense food rations, too.

We've got to let fema

medical assistant teams

Know where we are.

Oh, yeah.

We've got to have

a priority on potable water.

Is there a curfew?

Tonight, nightfall.

Well, we've got to have access

to a stadium.

And we've got to, uh...

Get as many refrigerated trucks

as we can find.

For the dead.

Careful here.

Watch yourself.

( loud rumbling )

What's that?

I don't know.

( screaming )

Come on.

We have to keep going.

We've got to keep going.

We just got a report

of a 50-foot water geyser.

Crew's on its way

to cap it.

That would be a trunk line

right off the main.

Exactly, uh...

We're talking hundreds of

thousands of gallons of water.

And that's the only place

it showed up.

So, where's it all going?

Right down...

Into the subway.

This station's been hit

pretty bad.

Doesn't look like there's

any way out of here.

There's got to be a staircase

along here somewhere.

No, it looks like

they're all blocked.

I'm really cold.

What are we going to do?

It'll be all right.

We have to

keep moving.

Find an emergency exit.

Another station.

Something.

( gasping )

Man 2:

This is supply airlift 3-7

About to leave area one

right now.

It looks pretty busy. Over.

Volunteer team 31, south unit,

please report to first aid.

There's one more.

No, I can't move it.

Lincoln:

Every time I come here

There are more

and more casualties.

Well, at least

we're getting them in.

Sir, we have reports

of flooding

In the metropolitan museum.

Joseph,

look around you.

People first,

property second!

Yes, sir.

Joseph, have it

cordoned off.

And I want e.T.A.S

for the national guard

And para-rescue squad.

Mayor,

the governor's office

Says the national

guard's been delayed.

Why, for god's sakes?

Apparently, indian

point nuclear facility

felt the quake.

They're assessing

damages.

If it's compromised

They'll have

their hands full

Cordoning off

half the state.

I'll take care of that.

Mr. Mayor,

we can now transmit

On a broad spectrum

of frequencies.

All right. The first priority is

elizabeth perez

And emergency management.

Then begin broadcasting

all available options

For medical treatment

and shelter for tonight.

Any word yet

on distribution of radios?

Red cross has them

at a staging area in new jersey.

What good is radio transmission

if nobody can hear it?

Get them ferried over here

and distributed!

All right, people!

I want updates, shelter,

food, ops, logistics

Medical infrastructure,

15 minutes, right here!

Perez:

We'll have medical

collection points

At every six-block interval.

Who's talking

to port authority?

Yeah. We have well over

100 buses

Earmarked for medical

transportation.

We're finding drivers,

but the remaining problem

Is the street.

We'll worry about the streets

being cleared.

Just get those buses

ready to roll.

Okay. All right.

Well, then let's move on

to the armories.

We're halfway between

prince and eighth.

Shouldn't be more than

20 minutes to get to eighth.

I don't know.

How can you be sure?

I'm sure.

But you can go back

if you want.

No.

All right.

You have any more questions?

No.

Great.

Let's go!

Oh!

Hey. You all right?

Uh-huh.

Your friend is...

Certainly enthusiastic.

He's my client.

Oh.

So what is it you do?

Public defender.

Really?

What kind of cases...

What do you do?

Account exec, bell atlantic.

So, evie...

Do you come here often?

Oh, yeah, allen.

All the time,

all the time.

( chuckling )

Joshua:

Hey, allen?!

Want to see something

that's really funny?

Allen:

Oh, my god.

I'm not going to die

in this stinking tunnel!

I'm not going to die!

Anthony:

Take it easy!

Take it easy!

Please, you're going

to hurt yourself!

I don't care!

Anthony:

We all want to get

out of here

But we got to keep it together.

You're not helping this.

Bert:

He's right.

If anybody gets injured

It's going to slow us

all down.

Nobody knows

what they're doing!

Following each other

around in the dark...

Joshua:

Shut up!

Would you please just shut up!

I am doing my best

To get us out!

You're screaming at me

like this is all my fault!

Hey, buddy, it's okay.

We all appreciate you

leading the group.

Who asked you?

Nobody!

Exactly!

You been sticking your nose

in everyone's business

Ever since we got off

the train.

Joshua, what are you doing?

As a young girl

I was always

Very self-conscious

about wearing my glasses.

I think I gave

new meaning

To the term "blind date."

( chuckles )

Funny enough
