Question: The news on the reactors has somewhat dried up here in the States, what is being discussed in Japan now? Yesterday, they were dropping water from helicopters, which seemed like a last ditch effort, what has happened to the 50 (180) workers? Do people in Japan consider them heroes?

Not trying to be a hater, and I appreciate the effort, but really, so far the following information has been offered:
1. An unconfirmed report from somebody that TEPCO or the Japanese Govt. is getting supplies of Boron from the South Korea Nuclear Agency.
2. Failure to find the Trilateral Comission HQ in Tokyo
3. Most commercial advertising has been pulled from the news shows
4. An opinion that they are minimizing the risk
5. A rumor yesterday that most US soldiers were being evacuated from the area in waves but I don't know. Lots of others foreigners seem to be fleeing in droves.
6. A pic of boarded-up shops in an alley
7. a blurry pic of a police car
8. lights are being turned off in Tokyo
None of it particularly informative or insightful.

I'll try to post more photos and give little updates as time goes by. Sorry if that's not cool with you, bro. Remember, you get what you pay for, and I'm posting for free here.

1. What is the food availability situation currently in Tokyo ? Are the shops/stores able to supply demand ? If not, what restrictions are in place regarding purchasing of essential items ?
2. We've heard of rolling power shutdowns. Are they actually happening right now in Tokyo ? If so, how often and how long do they last for ? Does your hotel lose power at those times or do they have a generator in place ?
3. Are there any signs of military activity within Tokyo itself ? Are there any reports of substantial military activity ANYWHERE in the affected regions ? In fact, what ARE the military doing at present ?
4. Is there a mass exodus of residents out of Tokyo ? Has the government issued any directives to Tokyo residents regarding current or anticipated evacuations ? Have evacuation plans/directives been provided to the residents ?
5. What's the situation regarding local businesses ? Are they still operating/trading as normal ?
6. Whats the situation regarding local schools ? Are they still open and operating as normal ?
7. Are radiation reports/updates being supplied to residents on a regular basis ? What plans are currently in effect to treat or mitigate any radioactive contamination of the Tokyo environment and it's citizens ?
8. Whats the current status of local transportations systems ... buses, trains, etc ? Still running to schedule or reduced in frequency ?
9. Whats a summary of the general feeling amongst the citizenry to this catastrophe ? Fear ? acceptance ? resignation ? Is there an overall belief that the government is doing all it can ?
