1st anniv. of tsunami

RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan - People offer flowers near the ''miracle lone pine'' in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, at 6:17 a.m. on March 11, 2012, the first anniversary of the massive tsunami that hit northeastern Japan. The tree is regarded as a symbol of reconstruction of the area devastated by the disaster 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.
