Thousands of miles away the island of Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga, now look like one large disaster area, following Tuesday’s earthquake and tsunami.

Toyota has issued its largest recall ever in the US for a potentially deadly problem with the top selling Camry and certain Lexus models; now the recall involves almost four million cars. Toyota says the floor mat on the driver's side can creep up and jam the accelerator pedal down, so the car suddenly speeds up.
Millions of H1N1 vaccines 5 are on their way to undisclosed distribution centers according to at least three of the four vaccine 4 makers 6.
