Aerial footage captures the scale and destruction of a forest fire burning in northern Japan. As of Thursday, the blaze has destroyed more than 80 buildings and forced about 2,000 residents to evacuate in Ofunato, in the Iwate prefecture. Military helicopters have been deployed to help extinguish the fire, authorities say. Local officials blamed the unusually dry winter and strong winds.
