This ferry was previously one of the A-line fleet that is based in Amami Oshima. Strangely enough one of their similar type ferries over-turned a few years back..no-one died but the accident was blamed on poor loading and waves hitting it side on. Maybe a design issue?

Shameful, but read 'any National University in Japan' into this too...the end of fiscal year spending spree is a disgrace.

Tony is always 'very confident'....any chance to geed his talking head before the international media. The actual organizations conducting the search are not making such huge proclammations as yet.

I love this show!

Go to jail. Do not pass go.

Hearing the testimony, particularly about their emails...he sound like a volatile control freak. Why she stayed with him after all of the tantrums and threats ....?

The Dingo....the Homy....but Cedric tops them all I think.

Mad Men revisited....what year is it Skymark?

These air raid hats are a bit much!!!

Very sad news.

Racist thugs in football....who would have thought...

Football and thugs...what a surprise.

The poor girl, I hope she has a full recovery. The owner should be charged.

He confessed.

WTF....

He had a lot of courage when up against those gun nuts. I think his heart is in the right place on so many issues, but his style did not suit the US audience it seems.

Stupid oaf just who just keeps on keeping on. Show him the door please.

They are a great idea! Should be worldwide!

Sad to see Plushenko go out like this, he was so brilliant in his prime. He has given Hanyu a lot of support apparently, so now we true have a changing of the guard. Hanyu was brilliant in the short. I hope he goes all the way and gets the gold!

This was a stunt to plug the airline obviously...

This is the dimwit who as PM refused to stop his golf round when the Ehime-Maru tragedy happened. As for his involvement in sport, his biggest claim to fame is that he played university rugby, a very long time ago.

We need more of them in this country. Japan needs to get over its aversion to adoption too. Sam Watters thank you for sharing your story, my two big brothers are adopted too, and I love them so much.

Mori was one of the worst Prime Ministers ever, now that is a big achievement. What skills does he have to act in this capacity? NONE. Japanese cronyism at its worst.

Magnet 10 years in Bali jail would be worse than 20 in an Australian one. She has not got off lightly and is still on parole. I dont see her making millions somehow.

Hikaru....get a water-tight pre-nup for gods sake!!

Yu-Na is awesome. I am tired of the Mao coverage already and it is only day one. Go for it Suzuki Akiko!!

It takes one to know one.

So glad she is safe. Thanks to the neighbor too for helping to nail him!

80 years would not be enough. This is just way too short. She will be young enough to have more poor kids when her term is over......

He had a fantastic voice, and will be sadly missed. Rest in peace.
