Story Worldwide CEO Kirk Cheyfitz is one of few Americans who boarded an American Airlines flight headed to Tokyo on March 13th, 2011, just two days after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami struck off the northeastern shore of Japan.
At Post Advertising we have already chronicled the efforts of Google Crisis Response and Quakebook in Japan.
