1. Salvaging the photo albums and finding the dog alive...

Bright spots in so much tragedy

2. They found the dog

How lovely.

I think what has been so surprising about this is that even in a rich country like Japan, a country that was so well prepared, we are still struggling to reach some of the more difficult and inaccessible areas. And really, we still have no idea how many people have died. I think that the figures we are seeing now are at best guesstimates and will rise much higher.

It shows just how vulnerable even a country like Japan is to a violent act of nature like this.

Wealth has nothing to do with a 9.0 quake and a 30ft tsunami. All bets are off with an epic catastrophe.
