Lanterns lined up in disaster-hit Fukushima

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - The letter ''kizuna'' (bond) is formed by illuminated lanterns along the Abukuma River against the backdrop of fireworks during the annual lantern floating event in Fukushima on Aug. 17, 2011. Usually people release lanterns into the river at the summer event but the practice was withheld this year over fears of radiation contamination of the river in the wake of the nuclear plant accident.
