Disaster-hit Fukushima still short of 2020 Games volunteers, Japan TodayFeb. 24  FUKUSHIMA  Fukushima Prefecture is still well short of its target for recruiting volunteers to help it stage some events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics — a setback to its efforts to showcase its recovery from the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.

        • Dr. Bramhall, you can only do so much. You cannot make people listen to the truth. When they find out that you were right all along, it will be too late. They will be suffering the same fate as Doug’s relatives in the above comment.
