"Miracle pine" cut down for preservation

RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan - A ritual is held in front of the so-called "miracle pine" tree in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, on Sept. 12, 2012, before it was cut down to be moved for preservation. The city conducted the project after the roots of the plant that survived the March 2011 tsunami were found to be dying from exposure to seawater.
