Yet another definition of "declaration of war" from NK? Who isn't in a war against these fools with their crazy standards?

Mainland China is pretty bad. 5 cars across on a 3 lane road, Red light means proceed with caution. 4 lane highways that come to an abrupt end to merge into a dirt road.

Etc.

Badge, Unagi,

Don't forget ORD (Chicago). The Kennedy Expressway during the rush hour can make you spend up to 1.25 hours to get to/from downtown and the CTA Blue Line (all-stops only) is a urine-stenched, rickety, cramped ride that can take close to 50 minutes also.

The N'EX or Skyliner…

elbuda,

It may come as a surprise to you but plenty of Japanese politicians have taken their own life after scandals, most recently Agricultural Minister Matsuoka in 2007. There are many from parliament members to mayors that have committed suicides over the years. I'm sure one can compile a list…

Scap,

I guess it would depend on if a Japanese passenger was also an JASDF refuelling crew member or an air crew on a dead-head leg, wouldn't it?

I didn't read in the article that all non-Japanese passengers sitting in "A" seats were all up-in-arms hounding the flight or cabin…

Justuju,

Most 777's do NOT utilize a winglet, rather a raked wing-tip. The picture clealy shows a winglet, and the size of the winglet shown in the picture is typical of the kind used for 747-400 (as opposed to the more perpendicular types used in 737 and 757's.)

I chucked a paper plane into the Grand Canyon and it flew for more than three minutes. Yah, boo, sucks.

I assume even that "record" will be broken when they do the experiment where they're going to toss a paper airplane from space back into the atmosphere.

Sheesh, not only do the US consumers have to deal with crap cars (more so for Chrysler when compared to GM), now they're going to have to pay more for it?

I'll stick with Lexus and BMW.

those explosive ones designed and made by Sony, a Japanese company?

designed and made by Sony, but remember that many of those were also assembled in China and Malaysia too...
