Pictures Show Japan's Recovery in Just Three Months
Just three months ago
Japan was plunged into chaos after a cataclysmic earthquake
sent a tsunami crashing through towns and cities up and down
the coast. The unforgiving tide of water demolished
thousands of buildings, and destroyed anything in its path. Thousands of people died and hundreds of bodies have never been recovered.
A Shinto shrine gate and surroundings in the town
of Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture three days after the March
11 earthquake and tsunami and the same spot on June 3.
