eikös suomestakin ole ainakin yksi varmasti kuollut?
Vähättelemättä mitään kansallisuuksia, ihmettelen kuitenkin, että esim. Taiwan on "noteerattu". Tämä lähde "CNN" ei mainitse edes sitä, että omia kansalaisia on kadoksissa tuhansia.
Kyseessähän kuitenkin alueen ulkopuolisten valtioiden kansalaisista, että tuskin otetaan paikalliset tuhannet kadonnoeet huomioon. Ja miksi Taiwanin noteeraaminen on mielestäsi ihmeellistä?
