2011 Joplin Tornado

Overview: A massive tornado tore a 6-mile path across Joplin, Mo., on Sunday, May 22, 2011, killing more than 120 people, ripping into a hospital, crushing cars and leaving a forest of splintered tree trunks behind where entire neighborhoods once stood.

One year later, we revisit the city, talk to those who survived and honor those who died.
