The official death toll from the March 11 tsunami went over 10,000 on March 26.  The number of missing is more than 16,000.  These numbers are misleading because they are based on “reported” cases.

The Japanese National Police are saying that actual numbers will be much higher, because those numbers being officially reported are only those bodies that have been identified by family members, or, reported missing by family members.  Police know that there are thousands of bodies not being identified, and even more people not being reported as missing. Why? Because, according to police, entire villages and towns were washed away, so there is no one, no relatives, alive to make the reports.  Also, official local records of residents were washed away as well.

It’s as if Mother Earth literally erased humans from her surface.
