Games/School/PastLife and 2 guys in my head

This morning, after having a bowl of quaker oats and a cup of hot chocolate, I went to our public kitchen to wash the dishes. Since kitchen is located inside the main common room, I could hear the news, that been watched by the janitor. It was CNN morning news, they were talking about a hurricane heading for Japan. Since I will be going there in a few months, I became interested. Now, since I wasn't concentrating too much on it, the following part is a bit hazy. But the "weather men" asked what was in Okinawa and said "American air base, that what." So, they zoomed in on the base, pointed to several planes which "they were scrambling to escape possible 140 mph winds." That's it, nothing about Japan or how they would deal it, not a worry in the world about their well being. Not even caring about possible tourists with American citizenship in the country.
Overall, their story completely ignored Japan and people there, except for the small airbase. And even then, the emphasis was on the planes.
