That rescue—the one bright spot amid the grim task of recovery.
In that same neighborhood, we found these rescuers. So this crew's checking out the hardest-hit homes, and one house in particular that they want to hit is the one where that nine-month-old baby girl was rescued from.
They wanna make sure that nobody's still in there.

So this rescue crew finally found the house where they rescued that eight-month-old girl just a couple days ago.
And when you look at this house, it's incredible that anyone was able to survive.

Rescue.
Rescued. Exactly. Thank God, right?
He then tells us we can meet her, hopping in the only possession he has left.
Hi, sweet girl.
And she was right there when we walked up to the shelter. All cheeks and completely unscathed.
Miku's family told me they lost everything in the quake but also that they found the most important thing—their family.
But the recovery here is being hampered by hundreds of aftershocks, and the fear that another massive one could come at any time. Tom?
