3-day intensive search begins

KESENNUMA, Japan - A helicopter takes off from the Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter carrier Hyuga off Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture 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. The MSDF vessel Asuka, also part of the operation, can be seen in the background.
