    In Peru, some joy amid the despair of the Costa Concordia disaster

    Mariana Bazo / Reuters

    Rose, left, a Peruvian crew member who survived the Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster, is welcomed by relatives at Lima's airport on Jan. 18, 2012.

    The Associated Press reports that there were 44 Peruvians among the crew of the Costa Concordia, and eight more were traveling on board as tourists.

    At least one Peruvian crew member was killed and another, 25-year-old Erika Soria, is still listed among the missing.

    A job on the Italian cruise ship was seen as an economic plum: Latin American crew members said they were earning the equivalent of more than $1,300 a month, many times the $250 minimum wage in Peru. Read the full story.

    In a picture released by the Japanese Defense Agency on March 13, sixty-year-old survivor Hiromitsu Shinkawa, right, is shown as crew members of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Aegis vessel Choukai sail to rescue him, about 9.3 miles (15 km) off Fukushima prefecture. The Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer rescued Shinkawa after discovering him floating on a piece of roof in waters off Fukushima Prefecture two days after the disaster struck. The man, from the city of Minamisoma which has been virtually obliterated, was swept out along with his house after the massive tsunami tore into Japan's northeast following a 8.9-magnitude earthquake on Friday.

    Amazing. It's nice to see a bit of good news out of Japan, and what a riveting story this man must have to tell. See more images of the unfolding situation in Japan here.

    Well said, GeekLaurel. New Orleans was just nature taking back what was rightfully hers. It was unfortunate that so many people were duped into believing the "man made" area was safe. That is the sad part.
