An earthquake drill has been held at Tokyo Tower to rescue many injured people from its 150-meter-high observatory.
About 200 people, including firefighters, took part in the first drill of its kind on Saturday on the assumption that a strong earthquake occurred with a focus in Tokyo Bay.
Rescue workers carrying stretchers ran up about 600 steps to reach the observatory in about 10 minutes.
The observatory is situated around the middle of the tower, which is as tall as a 30-story building.
The workers put mannequins weighing about 30 kilograms onto stretchers and carried them down in teams of 4 members.
The workers called out to each other so that the stretchers would not hit the walls of the narrow staircase. They completed the drill in about 2 hours.
