This just in: 200-300 Bodies Found along the Northeast Coast in Japan after the Earthquake!

Breaking and terrible news just in: Along the coast near Sendai (the epicenter of the massive quake), the Japanese police have found hundreds of bodies:

Japanese police say 200 to 300 bodies have been found in a northeastern coastal area where a massive earthquake spawned a tsunami.

The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Earlier, police confirmed at least 60 people had been killed and 56 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of Friday's disaster.

My heart goes out to the people of Japan, this is just a terrible tragedy.
