Oh my God. The mayor of the Japanese city of Minami-soma has posted a YouTube video asking the world for help:
The banks are closed and people are “literally drying up.” Basic materials are running short. We don’t have enough gasoline to reach people who are stranded. All residents of the area are totally devastated. 1,260 are missing and now we are facing the nuclear power plant accident. People can’t get supplies delivered to their homes. “Before the contamination extends further, please give us your hand to help these people. … Please help us through.”
“I would like to ask medias [sic] of all over the world for support, as well as reporting the earthquake and disaster, that we are fighting against the invisible threat of radiation and contamination.”
“Here is my sincere request to you, from all over the world, I beg you as the Mayor of Minami-soma city, to help us. Helping each other is what makes us human being. I would like to ask for your continuous support. Thank you.”

Amazing, isn’t it, how the US media latches onto YouTube videos of cute babies but gosh, golly, gee, despite their staffs of hundreds if not thousands, they have thus far missed this. (I heard someone on the radio today say the reporting on this nuclear disaster is going to be one of the biggest cover ups in human history.)
