  • FYI, Kyu Sakamoto, who sang the early-Sixties pop song Sukiyaki, was killed in this disaster. The few survivors reported hearing screams during the night, which diminished over time. Americans offered to help that evening with helicopters from a nearby base, but the Japanese turned them down. Many survivors died during the night because the Japanese helicopters did not arrive until the next morning. For shame!
