'Miracle lone pine' in Rikuzentakata

SENDAI, Japan - File photo taken March 27, 2011, shows what is now known as the ''miracle lone pine'' (front) on the coast of Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture. The tree is regarded as a symbol of reconstruction of the area devastated by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami after surviving the gigantic tidal wave that knocked down all the other roughly 70,000 pine trees on a 2-kilometer stretch along the Pacific shore.
