East Japan's 2011 disaster reminds old woman of WWII experience

East Japan's 2011 disaster reminds old woman of WWII experience

Otoko Wada talks about her wartime experience in front of what used to be a bomb shelter in Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture, as seen in this photo taken on Jan. 29, 2015, where she joined other escapees from U.S. gunboat attacks in the closing days of World War II. The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster that hit Iwate and other parts of the northeastern Japan region reminded the 85-year-old woman of the fears she experienced during the war.
