Reporting from the Scene

It's probably a good thing that the world's attention moves on from tragedies, recovering from disasters the magnitude of the earthquake, tsunami and multiple nuclear accidents in Japan. That we do what we can by donating to recovery efforts and then return to our everyday concerns.

But it's also good to be reminded that the pain, sorrow and loss of the people of that country (and others like Haiti and Indonesia) continue. The video above was shot by the terrific Oregonian reporter Motoya Nakamura, who has returned to his native country to report from the areas affected by the devastation. He is posting videos and photos from his trip on his tumblelog, and it's well worth checking (you can also follow him on Twitter).
