    Hiraoka said that the government is considering an automated gate system that would cross-reference the identities of foreign tourists against a database of fingerprints and facial characteristics of registered foreign workers in Japan.

    Maybe I'm missing something, whats the point of cross-referencing the identities of tourists with workers in Japan? You're not going to catch any illegals that way, since illegals won't be registered legally to work lol.

    "Hot spots" is quite funny because it's being overblown by the media and people who think that it's a vast government conspiracy.

    No matter where you go in the world, if you take a radiation instrument with you and look around, you'll eventually stumble across something that's above what the background for that area normally is. http://www.nature.com/news/2011/111014/full/news.2011.593.html

    I dont know if I entirely believe this. Mysterious bottles of radium under a floorboard is the cause of radiation? How about the more plausible nucleur plant which exploded about 6 months ago. Media literacy people!!!

    Yep the same as the mysterious figure on the grassy knoll, and aliens at rosewell.

    Lol, and the government are always complaining about ppl making conspiracies? They hit us with the most unbelievable of them all!

    And if you research the story a bit more from other sources and what was actually found in the bottles, the story is more believable then the conspiracy theories who think it was planted.

    For other readings (not the story being discussed here), Brick houses or any building made of brick tends to give out higher levels of detected radiation compared to structures made up of other materials in Japan like wood. Your neighborhood ojiichan with a geiger counter picking up higher levels of detection at one brick house location might not pick it up right next door to the wooden house.

    Of course this would not explain every or all hotspots out there, but I would not be surprised if this would account for some of the reports being sent in.

    It dates way back to the 50s, it's not an uncommon item to be put in florescent paints. Probably the old ladies' husband doing housework or something, and placed it there decades ago and was forgotten about.

    As mentioned the radiation came from radium 226 found in powdered form, most likely used by the owner (probably long gone dead) in somesort of florescent painting, not uncommon dating back to the 1940s-1950s. Radium 226 is not used at nuclear reactors at nuclear powerplants.

    Story hasn't been updated yet, but it was radium 226 found in the bottles, Radium-226 not used by nuclear reactors. The radium was found to be in powder made by the company Nihonyako that used to make florecent pant in the 1950s.

    Of course there are people out there who WANT this to be a vast conspiracy.

    Someone needs to right a story about a bright 16 year old working in a pub while working her way through a technical college (not something many 16 year olds do).

    So the one went into service in 1998, it's not that old, even though the original F-15 went into flying in the 70s. It's like when I read about a 737 crash, news talks about how it first flew in the 60s, TRUE, but a modern 737 isn't really anything like the original 737-100 from the 1960s.

    Just because someone worked in a nuclear powerplant doesn't mean he died because of radiation. I knew someone who had to leave the military because of an injury, wasn't combat related, wasn't even related to his work, slipped and fell while shopping at the grocery store.

    So why did the train have to make an emergency stop? That should be included in the article as well.

    LOL Just another freak accident.

    I pulled up an accident report summary from the Japan transportation website (in Japanese), it shows a picture of the cockpit of a 737. Makes more sense if you look at the picture. It's not really a "button" but a switch that you need to turn. There's animated videos there if you can navigate in Japanese.

    Apparently the pilot instead of turning the switch to open the door, some-reason turned the bigger / larger switch which controls the rudder trim "Rudder control trim switch", which probably explains why the aircraft veered to the right, if he turned the switch sharply. The door switch is located on the bottom left of the panel, and the rudder trim control is located more center is is larger. They aren't exactly next to each other, and are different sizes and positions.

    This is more then a mere pressed a wrong button that was next to it item that the article might lead some to believe.

    There has to be more details to this story. To my knowledge there is no "flip the airplane upside down" switch on the Boeing 737 or any other passenger airliner for that matter.

    What button did he accidentally hit and what chain of events caused the plane to act like that. It's more then a simple "hit the wrong button".
