Andrea Kobayashi comments

I have seen photos of this ship taken recently by a family member who went to Kesennuma on a business trip. While bit by bit they seem to be getting the town back into working order, this ship really did look gloomy, weird and foreboding. I don't blame them for wanting it to go. From what I heard, morale there is not enormously high, they don't want to be reminded constantly of that awful day by this rusting, beached hulk.

In Aussie it's called a willy willy.

They are OK. They found them just before noon.

RIght on Yubaru. Have they no idea how to hike? 8 teachers should be roughly enough for 75 students. I would have preferred 10 or 12. There should be 2 teachers as 'whips' and a headcount every half hour. How could this have possibly happened?? Those 8 teachers ought to resign. I really hope those kids are OK.
