That’s a lot of $100 steaks

Kobe beef future prices on the rise...

The Mandate of Heaven has been Withdrawn. This almost sounds like Divine Punishment of China.

[equaviator]

Time to go diving on some tenderloin!

[Perseverando]

Where's the beef?

[NYAmerican]

Click bait for NPR? Get them a few thousand web “hits”? Save us the trouble.....do they say this is Trumps fault? Systemic Racism?

[Moonmad27]

So sad for those poor cows!

[Blue Jays]

"...6000 cattle..."

Any information whether the cattle were wearing USCG-approved personal floatation devices at the time of the incident?

[Spirochete]

6,000 cows. Sharks rejoice.

[Veto!]

Invites humorous comments but I feel sorry for the crew and all those poor cows.

[BenLurkin]

Especially the crew.

And as they lost radio contact, operators heard 5,800 last words:

"Cow-abunga, dude!!!"

[crosdaddy]

Yea, that’s a lot of death.

[Newtoidaho]

What an apocowlypse!

[Osage Orange]

Those cattle were not Kobe....

I've had Wagu...but not Kobe. Some day I will....

[Jane Long]

Certainly is extraordinary, isn’t it?

[dfwgator]

Those cattle were not Kobe....

Well they weren't in a helicopter.

_{Too soon?}

[Osage Orange]

Oh...good gosh. Never occurred to me....I do think Kobe B. was named after that town...

Thanks, I read the headline this morning but not the article. I figured someone would post it here later in the day.
