SOUNDBITES OF CHIKAKO SHOUJI, SURVIVOR AND VOLUNTEER AT THE ARAHAMA SCHOOL:"After the tsunami alarm sounded, I picked up my mother, who was at my house, and then we drove to a shelter further inland. We narrowly escaped, because there was a lot of traffic on the road and it only took 10 minutes between the alarm sounded and the tsunami arrived." "I was born here, and when I was a child, my grandfather who had also always lived here, told me that tsunamis would never happen here even if there were earthquakes. I believed him."

Vu Ang Nguyen worked as a selling support associate for Amazon.com in Tempe, Arizona. That gave him the power to manually authorize refund requests. And according to Business Insider, he sure did. A lot. Nguyen was arrested and charged with fraud last week after the company reported him to the FBI. Federal prosecutors say in court documents that Nguyen used his position to issue $96,508 in fraudulent refunds to himself and friends. Nguyen allegedly used eight fake buyer accounts to purchase expensive computers and electronics before issuing more than 300 refunds to the accounts. He then funneled the money to himself and his associates without returning the electronics.
