The following is a comment left to the article above.

"This is truly sad, 60 some people out of 15k plus found, I doubt that many more will be found and the missing have been washed out to sea. I pray that their families, relatives and friends find peace out of this somehow.

I truly doubt that there will ever be an exact count of all the people who died or are missing, there are always going to people that have no friends, or relatives, or for that matter anyone knew that they were even in the region when this disaster hit."
