Club World Cup, Still A Go in Japan!

The World Cup despite the March 11th disasters is still on board to take place in Japan this year. The biggest worry for the other countries teams is concerning that of the radiation disaster. According to a recent twitter post by NewsQuake FIFA president Sepp Blatter declared to the public that the world cup will indeed continue as planed to take place in Japan soon after he was assured that the players in the world cup would not be effected by the Nearly Destroyed Nuclear Plant 150 miles north of Tokyo. The World Cup should bring an even greater determination to the Japanese people to overcome the disaster as well as keep the people strong and hopeful. In the article the FIFA president said “Through football there is hope,” which is sure to be true for the people of Japan as people from all over the world flock to Japan to cheer for the world cup proving that all of Japan isn’t a “red zone” dangerous and unapproachable but will show that Japan is still a strong and resilient country and still retains its pride despite the disasters. To some the continuing of the World Cup in Japan after this disaster is considered nothing short of a miracle.

Dead or Alive

Are there friends and family clinging to there lives under piles of rubble, are they dead, and are they ok are questions going through million’s of peoples minds after the devastating tsunami and earthquake. According to yahoo news as of Monday 10,808 people are listed as currently missing and 14,728 people have been confirmed dead. It is one thing to lose a loved one and a whole other thing to not know if they are suffering alone or dead some ware. The NewsQuake Twitter page reports that the Japan police plan to use DNA testing to identify the dead remains of thousands of people found. DNA from those reported missing is to be collected and compared to the DNA of the many remains in hopes of confirming the deaths of those who are missing. This as one would think will take a lot of work and time. Even if these tests are successful they will not be able to identify everyone missing.  It is impossible to find and match the DNA of all 10,808 people missing. So the question will remain if for many whether ones loved ones are alone and suffering in need of help or already gone.
