Just terrible story. Only four survivors… words fail.

Edit. Ot = It

The only thing that is truly unethical is Russian troops in an orgy of killing, rampaging through the towns and countryside, stealing Ukrainian lands.

That is the reality, despite the changing series of reasons issued by the Kremlin mouthpiece.

Ot would be unethical NOT to oppose that aggression, by any means.

警察は、タンクローリーを運転していた40代の男性を過失運転傷害の疑いで調べています。

Tanker driver in his 40s apparently. (Says he was hit from behind by another truck…)

Either way, an expensive bill for buffing out.

(Article re above, in Japanese)

Just read a fairly detailed report in the J news saying that the damage to bow and stern is extensive. Divers reported a list of problems with sonar bulb, rudders and propellers, and have partly succeeded in blocking the oil leak with putty.

@xin can. Many on the net if you search.

Interesting. I have been watching these developments for some time now and commend Toyota’s efforts in this direction. I would really love to have a hydrogen car one day very soon. Fuel cell, or straight burn.

Desert, I did see an actual zonal map shown on the TV news, with aerial photos of 50 years ago, 30 years ago and today, and a local map with that particular part shaded red as a land slip danger zone. It is possible however that the map was drawn up more recently, i.e. after the houses were built there.

The landslide occurred because of melting snow.

The tragedy occurred because the construction company built houses in a place known to be at risk.

They were along a ‘no-entry’ section of the breakwater, which is signposted and fenced off because it is a known dangerous place to fish.

The authorities took three hours to respond, and find them floating within the harbor. RIP

The Chinese? The Japanese? Who are ‘they’?

Interesting read about the Chinese WZ-7 mentioned in the last paragraph.

Poisonous influencer.

Would love to see the US Go-Pro shots of this.

Last night there was a Japanese movie on TV with Takakura Ken as a prisoner, and target of abuse by sadistic, violent prison officers.

There’s an easy way to get sanctions lifted, but he has chosen the impossible way.

As long as the people make more sacrifices, he can force them onwards…

Agreed. Thanks Gary, a great watch!

Despite the increased tensions and the PLA armed forces caught in the stupid ratchet trap of their own bravado, the government of China actually sounds quite level-headed and reasonable, against the background of what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

As I suspected, it’s probably more of a translation problem, as the Japanese doesn’t differentiate. Possibly suspected of ‘leaking state secrets’ with a s, might have been a safer way to phrase it.

Just one secret, or a whole slew I wonder?No information given, so not easy to comment.

Perfect scene, could even be a model!

My bedroom is +/- 4 degrees every morning recently.

Who would fly in a 60-year-old plane?

Who would drive a 60-year-old car?

Who would live in a 60-year-old Japanese apartment?

Without serious investment on continuous maintenance.

Those leaves look really healthy.

Classic photograph which may well become one of the best known of the 21st century. In her gaze can be read everything.

Hoping they will show her some lenience, and maybe allow her to live somewhere safely.

No one has asked what the mother could have done to her to make her consider murdering her for it.
