I do not follow his deeds but I am wondering why so many people in twitter are admiring him…
【青山繁晴】アンカー「福島第一原発 青山が見た事故現場は…」
[Kantele has blocked it. It is killing itself.]
This is a fascinating and encouraging video report from the ground zero of Fukushima. The head of the plant knows the situation even though the officials in Tokyo seem to care about their own interest. The head chief, during a video conference with the officials, expressed disbelief of their ignorance about the situation. Aoyama has good opinions and better than other idiots. But he does does not have any depth in his character, it seems. Screaming at camera is not good even if viewers are sympathetic. It is funny that Japanese are considered to be polite but tend to snap more easily…
Japan united in the wake of disaster
Mogi wrote the following article. But he is hopelessly a self-serving guy mixing art and science. For people in general he might sound cool but many of what he says are too populistic.

If this event does not initiate serious reconsideration of the path to the future, then nothing can change the course of Japan: the people must prepare for the main aftershock of possibly 8M as well. This earthquake has already created huge impacts on the world and hopefully the world becomes safer.
Quake Aftermath Highlights Japan’s Tug-of-War Between Nature and Technology
Her hopelessly shallow analysis makes me sympathize even TEPCO. She had already made up her mind before she arrived the affected areas. Only reason she went there was to say she visited Tohoku after the earthquake and shows her contempt. Her essay says nothing about the weakness of Japan; it just expose her inability to analyse complicated situation and understand nature.
He worked on the MarkII Reactor of Fukushima #6 reactor. He said previous 5 reactors were not safe. He also promote geothermal energy and thinks geothermal energy can provide a vast amount of electricity in Japan.

I think some of the entries are not true in areas far away from the severely affected areas. .
1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietlyLet us try adopt at least a few of these…
If a similar disaster hits country side of many countries, people would behave orderly I expect. In the wake of 911, I guess no one broke into shops in New York. In most part of the US people behave orderly… If a really big earth quake hits Tokyo then some disorder and chaos will settle in simply because people need food and water.
