I kept track of this story as best I could via the various Japanese websites written in English.

This story even managed to make the English press today unlike much else about the disaster over the last few days.

I understand that the mother too was close to being saved as when they found the vehicle she still had a pulse. Nature, however, dealt another cruel blow and the fear of a further quake and landslide caused the rescue to be called off for some hours, hours which were just a little bit too long.
