"Reuters quotes a report on Japan's Kyodo news agency which says that a ship carrying 100 people was swept away by the tsunami."
This is just getting more and more common now, seems like every other day a huge natural disaster hits somewhere.

I cannot believe how many aftershocks there have been (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html). Also, this quote is a disturbing glimpse into how horrible this is:
200 earthquakes/aftershocks recorded worldwide in March alone.
One in Hawaii earlier as well, small in comparison though.
a ship carrying 100 people gone missing
supermoon ? 2 weeks before supermoon in 2004 there was a tsunami, there's another supermoon on the 20th of this month....
