Search for Atami mudslide survivors passes crucial 1st 3 days
The crucial first three days for finding survivors of a large mudslide in central Japan passed Tuesday as local authorities slashed the number of people considered missing from 64 to 29. The initial 72-hour period elapsed at around 10:30 a.m. in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture, where 1,100 firefighters, police and Self-Defense Forces personnel continued to remove debris and search mud-swamped houses. The local governments had been trying to locate 64 people registered as residents in the affected area, a hot-spring resort southwest of Tokyo. But they said Tuesday the whereabouts of 41 people have been confirmed while six other people have been added to the list.
