I wonder why the media haven't aired that clip more prominently?
I can take a guess: the authorities don't want civilians undertaking rescue openrations--IMO because these citizens aren't under the direct control of those in charge. I recall reading all those accounts of trained rescue workers going to NO and being turned back or given a task like passing out pamphlets... incredibly inefffective.
