Japan tsunami aftermath

The official death toll is so far 1,597, but this is expected to rise into the tens of thousands. Adding to Japan's woes are fears that a damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima, where the housings of two reactors have so far exploded, may go into meltdown. Photo: Yomiuri Shimbun
