Séisme au Japon: d'énormes glissements de terrain meurtriers Au moins neuf personnes ont péri et une trentaine sont portées disparues dans le nord du Japon, secoué jeudi par un puissant séisme de magnitude 6,6 qui a provoqué d'énormes glissements de terrain et une coupure de courant générale dans la région. Le tremblement de terre s'est produit en pleine nuit dans l'île septentrionale de Hokkaido, à 62 kilomètres au sud-est de Sapporo, deux jours à peine après un typhon dévastateur dans la région d'Osaka (ouest). La terre a continué à trembler après: des dizaines de répliques ont été ressenties. Outre deux morts annoncés en début de journée, sept personnes ont été découvertes dans la localité d'Atsuma en état d'arrêt cardiaque, une expression employée avant que leur acte de décès ne soit officiellement signé. Des vues aériennes montraient des montagnes littéralement coupées en deux par d'impressionnants éboulements qui ont arraché tous les arbres et englouti des maisons construites en contrebas. Les pompiers hélitreuillaient une partie des habitants mais 38 personnes restaient encore portées disparues, selon la chaîne de télévision publique NHK. Au moins 167 personnes ont par ailleurs été blessées. "J'ai cru que ma maison allait s'effondrer" "J'ai été réveillé un peu après 3 heures du matin par la secousse. J'ai allumé la lumière mais elle s'est éteinte juste après" à cause d'une coupure de courant, a confié à l'AFP Akira Fukui, un habitant de Sapporo. "Il y a eu une secousse soudaine, extrême. Je l'ai sentie de manière latérale très longtemps, ça s'est arrêté puis cela a recommencé à trembler. J'ai 51 ans et je n'ai jamais vécu une telle expérience avant", a raconté Kazuo Kibayashi, un responsable de la ville d'Abira, visiblement sous le choc. "J'ai cru que ma maison allait s'effondrer, tout était sens dessus dessous", a-t-il dit. "Ma fille, qui est au lycée, était terrorisée". "Nous exhortons les habitants des zones frappées par de fortes secousses à tenir compte des informations diffusées à la télévision et à la radio et à s'entraider", a insisté le porte-parole du gouvernement, Yoshihide Suga. Des refuges ont été ouverts dans les diverses régions touchées. Des militaires des Forces d'autodéfense sont arrivés sur place pour participer aux opérations de sauvetage: 25.000 hommes au total étaient attendus. "Nous allons faire tous nos efforts pour sauver des vies", a déclaré le Premier ministre Shinzo Abe après une réunion de crise. Selon la compagnie Hokkaido Electric Power, 2,95 millions de foyers et autres clients ont été privés d'électricité après le séisme, en raison de l'arrêt de toutes les centrales de la région. Les installations ont commencé à redémarrer progressivement, des hydrauliques d'abord, puis thermiques ensuite, a précisé le ministre de l'Industrie, Hiroshige Seko, selon qui "il faudra au moins une semaine pour que la situation soit totalement rétablie" en dépit des diverses mesures rapidement prises. Le combustible de la centrale nucléaire de Tomari, qui a aussi été privée d'alimentation électrique extérieure, est refroidi grâce au courant fourni par des groupes électrogènes, selon les informations de la NHK. Les transports étaient aussi perturbés, sur les rails et dans les airs. Tous les trains sont arrêtés et l'aéroport de Sapporo Chitose a dû fermer. L'ensemble des vols pour la journée ont été annulés, soit plus de 200. 20% des séismes les plus forts sur Terre sont au Japon Les responsables ont mis en garde contre le risque de nouveaux tremblements de terre. "Les fortes secousses secondaires ont souvent lieu dans les 2-3 jours suivants", a précisé Toshiyuki Matsumori, chargé de la surveillance des tsunamis et tremblements de terre à l'agence météorologique. "Il y a un risque accru d'effondrement d'habitations et de glissement de terrain dans les zones qui ont connu de fortes secousses", a-t-il prévenu lors d'un point de presse. Le Japon est situé à la jonction de quatre plaques tectoniques et subit chaque année quelque 20% des séismes les plus forts recensés sur Terre. Tout le monde garde en mémoire le terrible tremblement de terre et le tsunami du 11 mars 2011 qui ont tué plus de 18 500 personnes et provoqué la catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima. Le séisme de ce jeudi survient alors que l'archipel se remet à peine du passage du très puissant typhon Jebi qui a tué 11 personnes dans le sud-ouest. Il a laissé dans son sillage des maisons en tout ou partie détruites, des poteaux à terre, des arbres arrachés, des toitures envolées (comme à la gare de Kyoto), des grues affaissées ou des véhicules accidentés. Le typhon a en outre inondé et isolé l'aéroport du Kansai (Kix), situé en mer sur une île artificielle au large d'Osaka. Il doit partiellement rouvrir vendredi. Paris Match
