Miyagi quake victims' bodies retrieved 1 year later

Bereaved family members of a victim of an earthquake last year view the site Thursday where the body of Keiko Takahashi, 55, was found under 4 meters of mud a day earlier at the collapsed Komanoyu Onsen inn in Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture. The victim, who had worked at the hot spring inn, had been missing since the magnitude 7.2 temblor shook Miyagi and Iwate prefectures on June 14, 2008. Takahashi's body was found along with another worker, Yukio Sato, 62. Two other bodies were recovered in Kurihara on June 9. In total, 17 people were confirmed dead in the quake, and six others remain missing.
