Take a moment to really look at this photo. The caption reads, “Surreal scene: A boy who survived the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami plays in a toy car in front of an upended real car in Ishinomaki, Miyagi prefecture, Japan, on April 6.”
One month has passed and the recovery efforts continue. Many of the problems are so big, so ecologically and economically challenging, that a stranded car like this one just doesn’t make the action item list.
In case the msnbc slideshow The Week in Pictures: March 31-April 7 opens up at slide #1, this particular image is slide #9. Photo credit to Yasuyoshi Chiba / AFP – Getty Images.
