A picture taken from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force helicopter shows the central part of the town of Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, March 12, 2011, a day after it was flattened by massive tsunami following Japan's strongest recorded earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9. Japan battled twin disasters on Sunday, trying to contain a radiation leak at a crippled nuclear plant while rescue teams searched desperately for survivors from the massive earthquake and tsunami.
