A small nugget of good news amid crisis in Japan

Japanese rescue team

There are so many horrible stories of death and displacement coming out of Japan in the wake of the earthquake on Friday. It is important, however, to know that there is always "hope". It's that hope that keeps people from giving up entirely in times like these, so let's hear a truly remarkable story of survival. Earlier today, 60 year old Hiromitsu Shinkawa was rescued after being discovered floating on a broken piece of rooftop nine miles of the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, a full two days after the disaster. The town of Minamisoma, where this man lived, was virtually destroyed. As of this post, he is said to be in good condition.
