        For all you know Jesus already came, people because of their utter inhumanity to those different from them, and he said Screw it and left. I'm not religious but I doubt many on this planet would recognize Jesus if they tripped over him.

        The Japanese owners of the vessel must take responsibility and deploy resources to remedy and clean up this environmental disaster. Why did they not commission a recovery and salvage team to tow the vessel off the reef out to sea? The management of this incident lacks competence
