I'm disappointed that JT doesn't mention that it concerns a foreign made bus. NHK did. And no less the second foreign made bus that went up in flames.

The also mentioned that 50% of these buses in Japan have caught fire. So 2 out of 4! Sadly, they didn't mention…

Knowbetter The word "abnormal" before the word "vibration" is the clue here. The fact that birds were the cause seems to be unknown until inspection occured. If you were the pilot, what would you do? Especially as you have to dump thousands of tons of fuel before attempting to land…

BTW, I forgot to mention that I do hate ANA's domestic product which is WAY too cramped, too expensive and no "service" on board. JAL is the same I guess, but haven't flown as often. Here I would suffer the US airlines service if they priced reasonably (I can get…

Tatanka - So what that are basically doing is giving foreign customers the finger...

The Japanese are getting bigger, many 16-17 year olds are now up to 5'10" and beyond, so not just a foreigner issue HOWEVER, I would rather suffer an inch less space than be subjected to the…

The big hole is the revenue. Dropping 99% to 2.7bio? If they had kept that flat, they would have come close to breaking even. How on earth can you scare away 99% of your business?

Hmm, so who owns that giant hospital in Hiroo with Red Cross's all over it? Is the Japan Red Cross not a parrt of ICRC?

Agree with Noborito. It is most likely the same 55,000 people buying tickets for each night. Or rather the parents of the teenage girls who will be buying them!

Definitely should be free if breaking the record is the purpose.

Try not to confuse "flu" with having a cold. Many people (not just Japanese, but Japanese are easy to spot because of the masks) will try to soldier on if they catch a cold. Let's be fair and observe that many Japanese will wear masks to prevent others catching their…
