About Talks:
佐藤康雄氏率いる東京消防庁ハイパーレスキュー隊によって、福島第一原発１号機の爆発から６日後、史上最も危険なミッションの一つが遂げられた。出動命令後、極限状態にあった佐藤そして隊員達は、家族からの愛に勇気づけられ、力を与えられ、ミッションの完遂という不退転の決意をしたという。人類が幾度となく乗越えてきたように、絆があれば必ず危機を乗り越えられる、日本をそして隊員を守り抜いた佐藤氏は温かく確信に満ちた眼差しで語る。

“Six days after the explosion at the Fukushima No.1 nuclear powerplant, the Tokyo Fire Department Hyper Rescue Team, led by Mr. Yasuo Sato, fulfilled one of the most dangerous missions in history.
In his talk, we learn that the love from their families was what encouraged and empowered him and his team members and led to their determination to complete the mission.
Sato conveys with affection and conviction that, just as mankind has overcome numerous difficulties in the past, no crisis cannot be overcome as long as bonds exist between people.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
