こうやって記録に残す事も大切だと思います。

電車の飛び込み自殺で記念撮影しているDQNや生中継の邪魔をす­るDQNとは趣旨も違うと思います。

別に侮辱の意味でﾌｧｯｸって言ってないと思うけど。

それと手伝わないっていっても他にも見てるだけの人もいるよ。

@FlyyGuyy29 -- you obviously have no idea what an earthquake is. Of course it would be felt in many more places than just tokyo. It was all of japan, and in the sea, to cause a giant tsunami wave that destroyed much of the coastline... Earthquakes happen when the crust plates of the planet are pulled or pushed together. In this case, I beleive it is because of the many comets comming into a line with the planet this year....

I want to send love to everyone in this video - you pulled together so strong and smart to help rescue your friends - thankyou for knowing how to act fast and together... I am so sorry this has happened, and hoping your recovery is good.

With love from canada <3

This is the reason why gaijin is called "gaijin" in Japan.
