Japanese broadcaster NHK showed aerial footage of the boat and a caravan of buses transporting about 3,000 people from Kansai International Airport across a partially damaged bridge under sunny skies. Typhoon Jebi peeled roofs off buildings, toppled power poles and damaged businesses as it crossed Japan's main island Tuesday. The storm is blamed for driving this tanker into the bridge linking Kansai International Airport with the mainland near Osaka in western Japan. The deaths included a man in his 70s who was blown to the ground from his apartment in Osaka prefecture. Kansai International Airport in Osaka partially was flooded by the typhoon, cutting power and grounding hundreds of flights.
