Photo essay at the link. A lot of amazing work has been done. Looks like a lot of the ships and boats way inland are going to have to scrapped in place.

Well, that's the Japanese for you. They're hard-working, don't waste time and they get things done.
By the way, how long has it been since the WTC was destroyed, and it's still not rebuilt yet?

Amazing stuff. The difference in attitudes in Japan and New Orleans post-Katrina is like day and night. It looks like it will be the same with the results.

We went to Cancun in Nov. following the Oct. storm in 05. The resort where we stayed looked as though it had never been touched. When you don’t live in a welfare society you have to get off you collective butts!

That is an interesting question. I’m sure they aren’t above burning it to expedite the cleanup, but as you point out, it could be useful too.
