re: #9 retired cynic

Thanks to NZ for stepping up during this disaster. I don’t know what our closest fleet is, and how far away it is. It must feel terrible to be there, and know how far away help was.

The Royal Australian Air Force also dispatched a reconnaissance flight. I’ve no info on what their next moves will be, but could be very similar to ours.

There’s more than 80,000 Tongans living in New Zealand, in addition to the 105,000 or so on the islands. We owe it to them.
