3-day intensive search begins

KESENNUMA, Japan - The Maritime Self-Defense Force experimental vessel Asuka heads for a mission to find missing people in areas devastated by the March 11 quake and tsunami on April 1, 2011. The Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. military began a three-day intensive search to find missing people in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, three weeks after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami wiped out coastal cities and towns in northeast Japan.
