Japanse earthquake kills 4 and injures over 100

AT LEAST four people died and 10 were missing after an earthquake shook northern Japan yesterday.

The 7.2 magnitude tremor sheared off hillsides and rocked nuclear power plants.

Military helicopters swarmed the quake zone 250 miles north of Tokyo, ferrying in supplies and flying out 131 injured.

Landslides trapped 100 bathers at a hot spring resort. And the quake, followed by 150 aftershocks, buckled many roads.
