Incorrect. Even though Kan resigned as the President of the DPJ, he still remains Prime Minister until a new one is selected.

Even though he resigned as President of the DPJ, he is still the Prime Minister until Monday when they elect another poor guy to fill his shows.
I give the new guy....180 days..

*Why would someone 5 years later place the body parts in a public place where they would readily be found? Maybe the Yaks or other underworld parties have a hand in this? *
Contrary to what we might see in movies and tv, not all criminals are masterminds. They make mistakes from time to time as well.

I always sit down and laugh when I hear people having arguments about "my app does this just a tad better then yours", in the end for the vast majority of brainless folks out there, it does the same thing.

That's a pretty good routine inspection by the stores. In other places of the world I've traveled to, I don't think toilets were ever inspected!

More of this and less of Korea-Japan tensions. They're working to mend and promote the Peace!

It was a bit silly because when this photo appeared, JT had a headline about people dieing in the heatwave in the article next to the photo.

That's correct, that's why the article points out "where installing the doors is plausible".
Logistics, equipment etc will cost a ton of money. Any new systems are built with this in mind, however older lines and system would have to be retrofitted. Most of these systems run on a for-profit basis.

You'd be surprised how many world systems don't have items mentioned there.

Part of the discussion was about how the military was not allowed to go into rescue the survivors of flight 123, the topic extended into the great hanshin earthquake where again the military was not allowed in. I was saying cooperation has gotten a little better since because in the most recent case the military was allowed in to assist in rescue efforts, and hopefully future events rescue services will be faster.

This is actually a little cool park if you detour near Nikko. They used to have the World Trade Center towers a long time ago, not sure if they are still up or not.

It's part of China's paving the way to the future extremely fast without vetting problems that take years/decades to clear in other places. It's a quick catch up game that generally ends in disaster. Just like how they debuted their much touted bullet train system only to have it crash a few weeks later and now reducing speeds on it.

I wouldn't worry, if China copies it's aircraft carriers like they do their bullet trains, there isn't much to worry about.

It's not perfect, but it's better. If you compare the response to Kobe in 1995 to the response this year. The military wasn't even allowed into Kobe.

This device isn't designed for massive tsunami's nor is it marketed as one. It does have applications, floods and typhoons are an application it can be used for.
Just because you think it is stupid doesn't mean it is.

The police weren't at the scene yet, all of this happens within seconds/minutes.
Next time a guy pulls out a knife, you're more then happy to engage him.
