    As someone involved in the Japanese steel industry, the whole experience is just deja vu of the British steel experience in the 1980s.

    It makes sense to me. But Japanese steel manufacturers are also trying to have specialized products, such as higher electric efficiency, or stronger to reduce construction cost. I am hoping they can revive. It is also true, fast change of currency rate and higher tax rate are disadvantage for any industry those need big investment. So I do not think performance in last few year is fair validation. Let see what is happen next few years. .

    what was the cause No. They did not find the cause of the problem but they're sure it's safe That's right. I am quite confident on that. ANA should have similar page but there are good explanation in JAL's home page. Batteries are not used during regular flight. http://www.jal.com/en/flight/boeing787/battery/ And now batteries are doubly or triply protected from fire http://www.jal.com/en/flight/boeing787/countermeasure/ Yes, cause of overheat was not identified, but we should remember there are 1000 other Li-ion battery in the cabin and any of those may start fire. I think current workaround is very practical. nuclear power industry must now be in charge of ANA. Well, nuclear battery is quite stable and still working inside Voyager space craft. But I prefer Li-ion.

    Didn't you know yet? Chinese invasions to Okinawa, Kyushu and Honshu are real. And already had finished. Today, those people from China are called Japanese.

    How many CJD by BSE we had recorded? Virtually zero. I believe that regulations are purely for beef interests and not about safety of consumer. I do not support those regulations basically. But bit strict regulations are not all bad for US cattle breeders. Keeping reputation with stable growth might be best for consumer and supplier.

    Probably I will not follow recommendation.

    Remember that radioactive material get out because 1) all electric supply lost including 4 emergency generator, 2) Mark 1 has very small pressure vessel and can not survive without ventilation, 3) Wet vent (which remove radioactive from vent) could not be used because of loss of power, and 4) Filter was not installed for dry ventilation.

    If reason is clear and workaround is done, as understandable way, I can trust. I am complete cowardice and never forget to drive without seat belt. But probably do not worry about Tacoma bridge collapse again.

    I am checking news and puzzling cause. Seems like it is not crash of tunnel itself, and ceilings fell down by unclear reason. Obviously periodical surveillance must be mandatory (as well as sensors for tunnel). But there was blind spot.

    By the way, probably we should not overestimate this photo. If you look carefully, number of people on photo is not very much. Flags are printed and possibly prepared by one person and provided for others. Result of several questionnaire survey　shows opinion is quite equal for both side. Photographers did too good job to emphasize topic. I hope that Japanese media will propagate more scientific data to remove distorted image of Osprey. In any case, I also hope that we will not see more accident. Accident is unnecessary loss of life and money obviously. And it cause huge loss by damaged reputation. In one questionnaire survey, only 42% of Japanese believes statement of US army regarding safety of Osprey. I think there are big room for improvements.

    Probably more fundamental problem is the unfair burden of Okinawa compared to other part of Japan as you know. I believe that protesters also understand benefit of Osprey. But they, like most of other Japanese people, feel they have debt for Okinawa. I , as regular Japanese, also do so. There are certainly divide in this issue in Japan.

    I believe I am regular Japanese and after some study, I concluded that those equipments are fast, safe, quiet and very useful. I feel that Japanese media is not trying to be most precise for safety of the equipments.
