Well if some guy leaped out of the room, he didn't die in the room so that'll be ok. But if some guy hanged himself in the room, I don't know. If the rent was really cheap and the place was convenient. Guess I could always use the money saved…

Its my understanding that many of the regular civilian police officers in China are unarmed, the ones that are armed are the Army police officers (green uniformed guys) you often see at places.

Someone breaks into a shinkansen yard, tags a train, there's a A LOT of issues with that not just someone tagging a train, eg security of trains, someone breaks in to tag it with graffiti what if someone had more sinister objectives.

"Let me get this straight. They cancelled a train because someone had sprayed some graffiti on one car?? You are joking!"

There's a difference between graffiti on commuter/subway trains, and graffiti on your premiere train product. I have no clue about the German metro or whats up there, they might…

I already corrected myself, JT doesn't seem to have a EDIT button.

Notwithstanding, reading from a real Japan news source, Kato attacked everyone in a span of 30 SECONDS, before he was confronted by the koban officer. She sees an accident, she picks up her phone to report an accident,…

I stand corrected, 110 is police 119 is fire, though she still probably was reporting it as an accident, rather then "there's a crazy man with a knife".

The killer rammed his truck into the victims at about 12:33 p.m. and was apprehended at 12:35 170 meters away from the scene.

Most people, including the victim here probably just thought it was an accident, stopped to called 110 (which is the fire department/rescue ambulance number in Japan, she…

Why would she need to take cover, she saw an accident and called for help. She and the most people probably didn't even know a madman was there.

Investigators estimate the entire span of events from crash to attack to him being arrested was about 120 seconds with the actual…

I can imagine my future conversations now, "Did you mean meet at Tokyo Tower or Shin Tokyo Tower". I guess if they build a third one, they'll have to rename New Tokyo Tower to Tokyo Tower II and the 3rd one will be New Tokyo Tower, Shin Shin Tokyo Tower,…

"they're crazy trying to merge 3 different train lines onto a single track"

Toei (the other subway operator in Tokyo does it), you can see, Keikyu, Keisei, Shinbayama Railway and of course actual Toei Asakusa Line trains running through service on the Asakusa line.
