Das zeigt wieder mal auf, dass die Japaner einfach ein anderes Volk sind. Nicht nur wurde praktisch gar nicht geplündert, sondern sogar die Kriminellen helfen in der Not. Ich hab keine Lust das ganze auf Deutsch zu übersetzen, sondern es geht mir einfach darum, dass dies dort eben stattfindet. Die Yakuza helfen dem Volk!

Hours after the first shock waves hit, two of the largest crime groups went into action, opening their offices to those stranded in Tokyo, and shipping food, water, and blankets to the devastated areas in two-ton trucks and whatever vehicles they could get moving.

The day after the earthquake the Inagawa-kai (the third largest organized crime group in Japan which was founded in 1948) sent twenty-five four-ton trucks filled with paper diapers, instant ramen, batteries, flashlights, drinks, and the essentials of daily life to the Tohoku region.

An executive in Sumiyoshi-kai, the second-largest crime group, even offered refuge to members of the foreign community—something unheard of in a still slightly xenophobic nation, especially amongst the right-wing yakuza.

The Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan’s largest crime group, under the leadership of Tadashi Irie, has also opened its offices across the country to the public and been sending truckloads of supplies, but very quietly and without any fanfare.
