Tribute to the 'Miracle Tree'

The waterfront of Rikuzentakata, Japan, was home for 70,000 pine trees before the tsunami struck last year. Only one of them survived after the disaster and became a living symbol of hope. But now surrounding saltwater will eventually take it's life, so a $27-million effort to cut down, preserve, and reassemble the tree as a monument is planned.
