EDIT-- I do have a question, though. Why does a place as volatile as Japan have nuclear reactors? It seems stupid, to me.

Those cities need power. And those power plants handles the earthquake well imo.

On the other hand, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, especially myself mourns them. May they be blessed by Kim Il-sung.

Because America rebuilt them from the ground up, as a democracy, with the foundations for a great economy. And then protected them from the other powers in the region (Russia and China).

That volcano is on another island and from what the article said, it's been active before the quake.

Actually the photos were real.

They were just taken on a legitimate tour that she booked.

Apparently the context of the photos was the hoax.

Japan quake: Survivor rescued from roof out at sea
Hiromitsu Shinkawa waves to rescuers before being rescued to a Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer on Sunday Hiromitsu Shinkawa says he had returned home to gather some possessions after the earthquake

A 60-year-old man has been rescued from the roof of his floating home far out at sea, two days after a tsunami devastated Japan's north-east coast.

Hiromitsu Shinkawa was found by a defence ministry destroyer 15km (10 miles) from shore, officials said.

Mr Shinkawa's house in Minami Soma city in Fukushima prefecture had been ripped from its foundations and swept away by the retreating tsunami.

He was spotted waving a piece of red cloth, while clinging to the wreckage.

Mr Shinkawa told his rescuers that the tsunami had hit as he and his wife returned home to gather some possessions after the earthquake, and that his wife was swept away.

She is still missing.

"Several helicopters and ships passed by, but none of them noticed me. I thought that day was going to be the last day of my life," he was quoted as saying by a defence agency spokesman.

"I ran away after I heard a tsunami was coming. But I turned back to fetch something from home and was swept away. I was rescued while hanging on to the roof of my house," he said.

Mr Shinkawa was reported to be in "good condition" after being taken to hospital by helicopter.

Military officials said mild weather and relatively calm seas had helped him stay adrift for 48 hours, Kyodo news agency reported.
