Devastation hits Japan after earthquake, tsunami

CNN\'s Brian Todd gives a description of what he saw in Japan.

A 9.0 earthquake struck Japan a little over a week ago. It cut power to the aging nuclear generation station. That touched off explosions and a frantic effort to control overheated fuel rods. Not to mention the devastating tsunami that topped cars and flooded city streets. CNN’s Brian Todd is just back from Japan. And he says the devastation is so immense it’s difficult to describe.
