There are also some who suspect the figure came from the number of people trying to contact others through the NTT emergency contact service, or the number currently estimated to be somewhere other than their homes (ie. in shelters, at friends or relatives, or just plain stuck at work because the trains were stopped and it was too far to walk.)
There is NO confirmation of 88,000 people missing. There are estimates of 400~500 dead, but only 100 something confirmed at this point and about 200 more who have not been identified (tsunami casualties).
