On March 14, Japanese soldiers went door to door in Ishinomaki, pulling bodies from houses that had been flattened by the earthquake and tsunami. Suddenly, they heard a baby's cry and met a miracle.
Soldiers made their way to a pile of debris and carefully removed wood, shattered glass, and rock; there they saw a 4-month-old baby girl in a pink woolen bear suit. When the tsunami hit Japan on March 11, it swept the baby from her parents' arms. The parents thought that their daughter was dead.
Soldiers managed to bring the baby to her father, who looked like the happiest man in the world. How the baby girl survived drowning continues to remain a mystery.
"Her discovery has put a new energy into the search," a civil defense official told a local news crew. "We will listen, look and dig with even more diligence after this."
Another miracle rescue occurred in Iwate, as a 70 year old women insider her house was found. Even though the tidal wave swept her away with her house, she survived and was found on March 15, four days after the wave. Osaka fire department said that she is receiving treatment at a local hospital since she is suffering from hypothermia.
These miraculous rescue stories give hope to the Japanese, who are in a panic after the disaster occurred two weeks ago. Experts are saying that now is the time to start recovering from earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear radiation.
