  1. There were some survivors found lately, eating foods in the fridge under the rubble! I hope there are many more.

  2. I hope so too. But the chances are very small now.

  3. It would be a miracle to find any new survivors at this hour but there is always hope. I find the USN's choice in naming the rescue & recovery operation Tomodachi touching. I wish I could be there to help. I would work tirelessly because they mean so much to me.
