‘Everything went dark’: Two Aussies were stuck on Japanese train for 12 hours after earthquake

Australians Jess Barnes and Zeke Haynes sat down with Sky News Australia to discuss their ordeal after the earthquakes in Japan. The two recounted their time trapped in a train for 12 hours after the earthquakes. “Everything just went dark, and the train stopped really quickly,” Ms Barnes told Sky News Australia about the experience. “Everyone just went really silent - it was kind of a deafening silence for a bit. “They did get us water and food at about nine hours in but we were getting shocks every 20 minutes I reckon.” Local officials in Japan say at least 30 people have been killed in what is being described as one of the most powerful earthquakes since 2011.
