Two found alive - 9 days after quake
Police rescued 2 people from under debris in Ishinomaki City, Japan on Sunday, 9 days after the initial earthquake and tsunami on March 11th.
Police in Miyagi Prefecture say the 2 are a woman who is about 80 years old and her 16-year-old grandson.
Rescue workers say the boy has a low body temperature, but is conscious.
An NHK video shows two people being pulled up by rope to a police helicopter that headed for a Red Cross hospital in Ishinomaki City.
The 2 were found in an area about one kilometer upstream of the mouth of a river. Houses in the area were swept away by the tsunami.
Miyagi was one of the areas worst hit during the twin disasters on March 11, with a confirmed death toll of 4,882.
