(CBS/AP) Dawn brought Japan the first full day after the largest earthquake in the area's recorded history triggered fierce tsunamis and widespread destruction Friday that has left hundreds -- and perhaps more than 1,000 -- dead.

 

Hundreds of bodies have been found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendai, the closest major city to the quake's center. But search and rescue efforts were still in their infancy and Kyodo news reported Friday that the death toll may exceed 1,000. Hundreds if not thousands were missing and injured.
