Some posters here are more concerned about the exact definition of "crash landing" than the tragedy itself. Pathetic!!

Couldn't agree more!!

earthcreature - if you're moving to Japan, realise one thing: it is NOT the country that you see in the brochures. There IS crime here, and a lot of it, and is not the safest of countries like it used to be. In ten years here, I have seen crime…
