    Jack the ripper didn't have Grand Theft Auto and Hollywood action films to watch, when he went out and killed people.

    On the flip side, I play grand theft auto, and so do millions of other people, yet I and millions of other people aren't out there car jacking.

    This is one case where it'll take a while before a real human is replaced by a machine.

    I've gotten some really off the wall translations using sites like bablefish and google translator.

    "She climbed over the wire fencing of the DMZ", sounds like the DPRK's line on the events. But I don't know. Other sources just say she "strayed into" an area, and warning shots were fired. No verbal warnings. Now If I heard some shooting, I wound't stand in a place too, I'd haul out.
    Now I don't know what this lady looked liked or her health condition, but fences in restricted areas are pretty high and though usually with barbed wire, but even even your garden variety fence seems pretty tough for 50 year old women to climb over.

    The whole reason they were caught was because some Joe Japanese tourist saw it and "reported" it. Jackass.

    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 to call in the Ghostbusters.

    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 let a regular ole subway train out with some writing on it, but I doubt they would let their premiere ICE bullet train out with one side of it defaced.

    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, crazy guy immediately jumps out and stabs 12 people in 30 seconds, I doubt she even had a chance to turn and run away if she wanted to, some of the other victims were hit from behind, they probably didn't know what got them either.

    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 wasn't calling 119 which is the police).

    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 attacks maybe taking place in a span of 60 seconds, before he was confronted by the officer.

    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, or Tokyo Tower III.

    "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.

    In the end, it makes no sense, because now you just crowd the sidewalks even more people. What next, are they going to close Shibuya crossing?
