Town of Minami Sanriku, Japan nearly erased from existance

Friday morning's indescribably destructive earthquake and Tsunami In Japan brought sheer terror to tens of thousands of residents of the Pacific island nation. Possibly the saddest story comes from the town of Minami Sanriku, in the northeastern part of the country. Only a few building remain standing. The rest are nothing more then piles of rubble strewn about. At present, 9,500 residents of this mangled town are missing. That is more than half the population. What was once a picturesque fishing town, is now a place of horror and despair.
