direction(s)

A rescuer descended from the helicopter — communicating directions with the pilot as he moved along the cliffside — and bear-hugged the woman.

One person posted on X that she “was, frankly, scared” after getting the “Drop. Cover. Hold on” directions from the alert, though she’s lived through dozens of other quakes.

He added that all routes out of the camp were closed and it was "surrounded from all four directions".

"We are always going in different directions, like ships that pass in the night really. We whizz past each other."

In February 2023 a freight train and a passenger train carrying 350 people, headed in opposite directions, were accidentally put on the same track.
