A little bit of good news: Woman, 70, found alive 4 days after Japan tsunami

[Contrary1]

SOMA, Japan — Rescuers pulled a 70-year-old woman from her toppled home Tuesday, four days after Japan's massive tsunami struck.

The rescues of Sai Abe and a younger man pulled from rubble elsewhere were rare good news following Friday's disaster that killed at least 2,700 people and left thousands missing.

Abe's son said he had tried to save his mother but could not get her to flee her home in the port town of Otsuchi. His relief at her rescue, he said, was tempered by the fact that his father is still missing.

"I couldn't lift her up, and she couldn't escape because her legs are bad," Hiromi Abe said on national television. "My feelings are complicated, because I haven't found my father."
