"Miracle pine" in restoration work again

RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan - A replica branch is descended by a crane on the ground in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, on May 27, 2013, from the restoration of the "miracle pine." The tree initially withstood the massive March 2011 tsunami and was cut off from the roots for restoration after being found to be dead. The second restoration work began on May 27 following local people claiming the silhouette of the tree, with replica branches and the preservative-treated trunk, looks different from the original.
