Four-Month Old Found Alive Days After Tsunami

TIME Magazine reports this morning that soldiers from the Japanese Defense Force were going door-to-door, pulling bodies from homes flattened by the earthquake and tsunami in Ishinomaki City, a coastal town in Japan. Accustomed to the crunching of rubble they dismissed the baby's cry as a mistake. Until they heard it again.

They made their way to the pile of debris, and carefully removed fragments of wood , slate, glass and rock. And then they found her: a four-month old baby girl in a pink wool suit.

The tsunami had literally swept the baby girl from her parents' arms when it hit their home on March 11. Since then her parents - both of whom survived the disaster - have worried that their little girl was dead. Soldiers managed to reunite the baby with her overjoyed father shortly after the rescue.
