Amidst all the bad news, a few remarkable tales of survival are emerging 2 people were rescued on Tuesday, 4 days after Japan's devastating earthquake. But others are still trying desperately to find their loved ones.

A woman in her seventies and a young man were found alive amid the rubbles in northern Japan on Tuesday.

The woman in her seventies was found in her toppled home, more than 90 hours after the earthquake-spurred tsunami tossed the house off its foundation in the northeast port town of Otsuchi. The woman's son said he had tried to save his mother but could not get her to flee home.

The woman was taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia, but appeared to have no life-threatening injuries.

The man, who was in his 20s, was found in the city of Ishimaki. He was pulled from a building after rescuers heard him calling for help.

The rescues were rare good news. And rescuers were hoping to find more survivors.

Takashi Honda, Head of Rescue Team in Otsuchi, said, "People don't die easily. That is why we are doing our best. We will continue to spot areas which have not been searched yet."

Rikuzentakata, a city of over 20-thousand people, was virtually wiped out by the twin disasters.

Survivors have been scouring through missing persons lists, searching for loved ones still unaccounted for.

Parents searching for their missing son-Hiroyuki found the building where he used to work was badly damaged.

Desperately calling out their son's name to no avail, they feared their search may be in vain.

Mrs. Kanno, Mother Looking for Missing Son, said, "He should be ok, he should be ok. It's been four or five days now, it was only a short distance home. We think he's not coming back now. We are starting to lose hope."

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami left possibly tens of thousands missing along Japan's northeastern coast. And thousands of survivors are without shelter and electricity and scrambling to find water, fuel and food.
