How so, Tara? Their product is the Triple 7. And after three failures of the PW engine in a short time, they want to protect their product and have the engine problems investigated.

@theperson, average salary of $126...per month?

@Albert, you cannot convert a 30-day tourist visa into a working visa. A working visa has to be secured outside of Japan through a Japanese embassy or consulate.

This particular plane was the 5th B777 to come off the production line, in 1995.

There were several repatriation flights to Vietnam in the months after her visa would have expired. Seems likely that it was always her plan to overstay and work illegally.

As part of its over water certification, the B777 is certified to fly on one engine for 207 minutes. This flight lasted 40 minutes.

Maybe she’ll be able to finish up that law degree she was working on.

What kind of ghoul would ever get involved in this?

Maybe the Taylor’s should have run their plan by the State Dept. before carrying it out...just to give them a heads up.

Didn’t notice anything, Mr. Suzuki? Nice job covering your azz.

If your opponent’s skill and confidence is overwhelming, by all means take that ‘injury break’ to get them off their game.

Can’t name him, then name his parents...they must be so proud.

Ex-husband? If yes, he’ll be found dead in a couple days.

By the time their legal battles are over, there won’t be much left of that $1.3 million.

Should spend the rest of his life in prison, but most likely will be released before age 40.

Pretty generous for a player that has never been able to play a full season, even in Japan.

Hopefully prison life will be less stressful for her.

The Uber guy complied and handed over the money, why the need to physically assault him? Maximum sentence, please.

Mori says something stupid...stop the presses!

If bail jumping isn’t a crime, why did Ghosn have to get in the box?

I’ve worked in commercial aviation for 35 years, including flying international charters. Nobody flies on a charter to a foreign country without a valid passport, and must also be presented when transiting to a foreign country. Charter passengers are well screened for the proper documentation at both the departure and arrival airports. Btw, even pets have to have their paperwork. Google Johnny Depp, dog, Australia.

The ground handler provides the crew with the passenger names and passport info. This info is also sent to the destination, so they know exactly who should be on the plane. And not uncommon for the flight attendant to hold the passports until arrival. The problem is when you add someone enroute who hasn’t had clearance to arrive or doesn’t match the identity of the paperwork. So Mr. Ghosn, if detected, would have been sent back to the airport of origin...Osaka.

The Global Express has a segregated passenger compartment with access to the baggage compartment, so it’s possible the first crew saw nothing. But once they arrived in Beirut, assuming he wasn’t added to the passenger list, did he just spring out of the box with his Lebanese passport in hand? So whether they added him enroute or found out later, the crew was obligated to report it. If no laws were broken, why the need to get in the box?

@Kuzuaki, I believe the only threat to Koseman was that he wouldn’t get paid if he didn’t pull it off.

The chances this kid will have diabetes and an enlarged heart is far greater than that of being a sumo champion.

Rest in hell is more appropriate for this murderer.

Most people that buy counterfeit stuff know it’s counterfeit. They just hope that those they are trying to impress don’t know.

A habitual rapist, life in prison is the only solution.

How can you possibly remember assaulting someone when you’ve got pachinko on your mind?!

Mass murderer

JT, do not refer to him as an arsonist. Refer to him as what he is, a mass murder.

I wasn’t planning to attend myself.
