Japanese self-defence forces soldiers watch cranes lifting the sightseeing catamaran "Hamayuri" from the top of the two-story building to the ground at the tsunami-devastated town of Otsuchi, Iwate prefecture on May 10, 2011. The local government of Kamaishi city, the owner of Hamayuri, decided to scrap the catamaran while some people were hoping to preserve it as a symbol of the March 11 tsunami.
