In Tsunami’s Wake, Much Searching but Few Are Rescued

Three days have gone by since Japan suffered the 8.9 earthquake along with the Tsunami.  The amount of bodies that have been washed out to shore, are now washing back in.  Police teams have found close to 700 bodies near the epicenter on the peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture, and now with the nuclear spill.  Prime Minister Naoto Kan, described this tragedy as a triple whammy; earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear leak.
Many businesses attempted to open and run regularly but with the black out it was not able to happen.  6 major train lines have been ruined and are interfering with the peoples commute to work.
Japan has the third strongest economy in the world today, and hopefully they will be able to bounce back from this natural disaster.
