True. I was thinking of this: "Reports said that on being handed a drink aboard the rescue boat, Shinkawa gulped it down and immediately burst into tears. His wife, with whom he had returned home as the tsunami approached, is still missing.

I take your point! Because the Japanese love cameras, phones and gadgets we have amazing footage of this natural disaster. I know someone in Tokyo who is skyping (sic?) to her father in NYC.

"....how someone bothered to snap a picture before reeling him in."
He was picked up by a JASDF patrol boat, who lowered a motor whaleboat to transfer him to the larger boat.
Lots of cellphone cameras on board.
Ever seen a Jap tourist??? They take pictures of EVERYTHING.
