Yes it different to SKY/FOX/BBC but is it any worse? NO
Different political agendas.

4,500 confirmed dead, still 8,000 missing
I wonder how many of the missing ones were washed out to sea.
Don't they have helicopters? The initial cost of serving some helicopters to the worst regions is far less than that of repairing entire sections of road. People in the worst areas have seen helicopters but none have landed and none have delivered aid.

So the engineers which specilise in road building should instead shelve what they are good at and pack helicopters full of aid?
Why can't they do both, do they have a people shortage or something?
What about the people trying to rebuild the power grid, should they do something else instead?

And when they need to send in the bulldozers and crane etc?

Doubtful, they can't be that unlucky surely.
What?
You have a helicopter, you have a pilot, you have aid workers.
Easy. What part of this befalls you?

YES. 100% yes, considering they're broadcasting a soundbite of someone saying "Chernobyl on steroids". I wonder which renowned nuclear physicist that was, hmmm...

That bit, so if those people aren't building roads because it's a 'waste' what should they be doing instead?
You have vast numbers more vans, trucks, aid, workers than helicopters and pilots.
You repair the road, deliver aid to strategic points, cities etc then you fly aid from these locations to the inaccessible regions.
Besides, tarmac and aggregate are probably low on the wish list for survivors, unless you envisage helicopters transporting vast quantities of gravel to the hardest hit areas for some unknown reason.
Because there are people whose job it is to fix roads. Who don't fly helicopters. So they fix the roads....

2010. Hmm indeed.
Fixing roads will take a lot longer than it takes to deliver much needed food and water by alternative means to road.
Do you think that's the only road in Japan that needs fixing? I highly doubt it. I'm sure if you were desperately starving or needed water and lived in remote areas, you'd be questioning why someone was out fixing the road when other things of higher priority need to be done.
