So many people coming up with their own designs / logos trying to express the sadness… well here’s my effort.
This loyal spaniel saved the life of his injured friend who was barely moving by sticking by his side following the tsunami - and leading a group of rescuers to him.
In heartwarming footage, the brown and white dog leads reporters to the injured mud-splattered animal who is lying flat out among the wreckage.

Japan WILL survive, recover and flourish.
The Japanese are innovative, tenacious and determined. As after the war, Japan had to start again. It started from a point ahead of the west and as the west was stuck in its “old way” Japan had to start from new.
Imagine how far ahead Japan will be once it recovers from this tragedy. Imagine the future once Japan starts with new buildings, new businesses, new technology, new ideas, new communities from a future starting point as opposed to trying to innovate existing ideas, models and systems.
Once Japan recovers from this, as it surely will, Japan will be starting from a new future starting point ahead of everyone else again.
You thought that Japan was ahead with regards to technology and innovation before this earthquake and tsunami tragedy?
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Japan and we look forward to that day where the wounds of this tragedy have become faint scars.
An epic fail where traditional media tries to come together with new media and social media.
With the utmost and all due respect, does anyone really give a cr@p what “celebs” think on Twitter with their precious limited 140 characters when such an unprecedented tragedy is unfolding before us? I’m sure some real celebs winced when they saw this.
Celebrities have their place.
Traditional media and journalism has its place.
New media and social media has its place.
But this is a total epic fail.
Aerial photos taken over Japan have revealed the scale of devastation across dozens of suburbs and tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
Hover over each satellite photo to view the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami.
