S Korean search finds wrecked medical copter; no sign of survivors

The people who live on that island literally only live there so South Korea can lay claim to the land since they're "using it". Looks like this stupid scheme is starting to have causalities.

Hope they find someone alive.

Why were Airbus checking it’s ‘automatic rotation axis’ for the last two months?

An interesting claim since there are coast guard personnel, lighthouse managers, government officials and civilians living there. Are you suggesting the lighthouse managers are unnecessary personnel? Are you suggesting the civilians were forced or tricked to live there, are being paid to, or just do it out of some sense of patriotic duty?

Further, considering the Senkakus, it does not seem anyone needs to use anything to claim it. And the laying of concrete upon Okinotori shima is not done to claim use, but rather to attempt to improve its status from rocks to an island so as to claim it.

So while your claim could be true I have no idea how you would know that for sure. I would think its just as likely the idea is to prevent Japan from ever setting foot on it so as to claim it for themselves.

@ Norman Goodman

Precisely.

@Madden

The person the family that lives there first moved there because their fishing village had too much competition. He went there started fishing there. Built a house there. Raised a family there even before the dispute. He did that to make a living. Wasn't a stupid scheme.

Very tragic. I hope that Japan has offered assistance.

Incidentally, should'nt this article be in the Inter section rather than the National section of JT.

@Madden - "The helicopter had picked up an injured crab fisherman before it crashed late Thursday".

Heckleberry - exactly.

Again - just gotta love some posters who are so caught up in their anti world, they can't even take a breath to consider the probable deaths of 7 people and see it as a tragedy.

A rescue helicopter taking an injured person to hospital. Geez!

From the number of downvotes you'd think a lot of folks think this was a military attack or sumpin.

They have found a body on the sea bed apparently.

I pray the helicopter crew and passengers are found alive.

why can’t we get along? In Hawaii where I live all races live and work together in One big community. Why do people spend all their lives and efforts hating each other? Such a waste of time

Because one of the two countries teaches hate in their schools.

@OssanAmerica

At least the Korean Students complained about it! Over here (in Japan) they don't complain.

Although I agree with your sentiment and gave you a plus point, mmwkdw, I suspect that Japanese students would complain one way or the other if any teacher tried to teach hatred.

Well, it's two bodies now and they have been bringing heli parts semi-successfully to the surface.

Hatred against another country isn't taught in Japanese schools. Learn some shame.
