Her parents thought they saw the last of her as the four-month old baby girl in a pink woolen bear suit got swept away from their hands by tsunami's tidal wave. But three days later, on 14 March 2011, rescuing Japanese Defense Force heard her cries under the rubbles that the angry sea left behind. Amidst the fragments of wood and slate, shattered glass and sharp rocks around her, she survived and came back to her parents.
On March 15, rescuers found a 70-year-old woman alive inside her home, four days after the black tidal wave wiped out much of the region. She remained conscious, and suffered nothing but hypothermia brought to the very cold weather.
Elsewhere, Hiromitsu Shinkawa (age 60) survived two days at sea, clinging for dear life on his floating rooftop 10 miles off the Japanese coastline. Rescuers discovered him on March 13.
