Japanese Tsunami Survivor Found On Roof 10 Miles Out At Sea 3

60-year-old Hiromitsu Shinkawa was rescued by maritime self-defence forces 10 miles off the coast of Japan, sitting on part of his roof. Hiromitsu had returned home to retrieve belongings after hearing off the coming tsunami, but was caught by the wave and spent two days on his roof drifting in the ocean. He was quoted as saying: "No helicopters or boats that came nearby noticed me. I thought that day was going to be the last day of my life."
