Thanks for the laugh - just FYI, the BoJ has avoided raising the taxes even after the Lehman shock. And that turned out to be an extraordinarily good decision, in the long run, big picture.

Do you think something like your reason will make them do so? :) :)

Congratulations, legally she actually became the captain of her floating unicorn or whatever it was. Extremely lucky to have been spotted and rescued alive. I don't understand how people underestimate the sea like this - it's not a place for doing stupid things..

ONLY 500M fine! Any other foreign company would have been fined in the tens of billions here. Remember VW having to pay close to 40B USD in the US? Nepotism and protectionism at its best. Not-caring-about-non-american-lives-ism too!

No need to bow your head, Akio-san!!! The company did nothing wrong and had customers' safety as its first priority!

F..k the Japanese government and their outdated safety standards and slow, corrupt workers! When I buy a car I don't want to it be tested by a less safe standard but according to the strictest out there. I don't give a sh*t about some bureaucrat's opinion on this matter.

That's what's wrong with the Japanese justice. Suspended? It's basically inviting the parent to apply their own justice to these two idiots...

JT mods - don't let the scum of humanity post comments on this thread too! I can count already many that should not be here.

Naaah sis, you underestimate how determined government employees in Japan are to ensure they and their successors have a job. So what if a rather simple trial takes five decades and many hundreds of million of taxpayer yen? Who cares, as long as the 公務員 (civil servants) have a steady salary. It's not a private company, where they pay by performance and efficiency!!!

The gun went off as he was searching for a good camera angle, (together with the person he killed). It didn't want of in the second he touched it. He had time to check it before dicking around with it.

Well, that doesn't make sense. How do you check if a weapon is safe before handling it?

You check if it's loaded or not FIRST! If you see anything resembling a bullet, take them out, as this was just a practice run. Also, you're supposed to check if the bullets are blank, before the actual scene shooting happens. All of this is the responsibility of the person holding the gun.

He was a movie star :) is absolutely not relevant at all in a country where justice works.

It was an accident? Of course. But we can't let those responsible just walk free. The question is: was it preventable? Who's mistake caused it?

By US law, Baldwin was at least responsible for checking the weapon (which he knew it was real) and making sure it is safe to handle himself, before handling it. This is a fact and it makes it already more than enough reason to indict and not to dismiss.

I'm really happy tourists aren't allowed in the new fish market. Also, yeah, nothing wrong with turning a sticky old place into something modern. Instamamas who just lost a place to visit for a stupid instavideo, that's life! I'm happy you're frustrated!

Buy Chinese EV!

All your data are belong to them!

, issues with the decision of the JAL crew not seeing an aircraft on the runway under VFR CAVOK conditions

Clouds and visibility OK doesn't mean the pilos are able to see a small aircraft at night when not pointed directly at them. Especially on a runway (so a very dark area). Most probably they actually saw some lights but thought it's normal ground illumination, not an actual aircraft.

He dead for 100 years but let's cancel him. Today's new generation is stupid beyond belief.

Can you imagine any foreign company doing exactly the same violations in the USA? They would be cancelled on the spot. Boeing went and killed a few hundred persons, because of greed and complaisance, yet there are barely any consequences for them .

What Japan islands? That was China's, since over 6000 years ago!

Sadly thes obsessed scientists rarely think of the consequences of some of their inventions until they have already opened Pandora's Box.

Many of them had relatived fighting and have already lost a few family members in the war. I'm pretty sure they were thinking about any means that can beat Japan and stop the madness.

Stealing these is as smart as stealing the Mona Lisa. You'll never be able to sell it and turn it into money - at least not legally. Otherwise, whoever buys them would have to always hide them.

Millions would have died without the atomic bomb. One way or the other the war was going to end, and this was by far the fastest.

Also, remember, if you don't want to get bombed, don't start a war! The "we're victims" mentality of a lot of Japanese is as disgusting as it gets. There are many other war veterans and victims carrying their burden with greater dignity.

Weiwei:

It is not enough to obey local laws when you are temporarily travelling, you also need to obey the laws of your country of residence. In other words, you cannot travel to another country to perform a crime (not a crime in the destination) and get a free pass. This applies to most western countries in the world as well.

No, Japan is not China or whatever country you're from. Stop spreading opinions around like they're facts. In fact, Japan's citizens have to obey ONLY the local laws while traveling - that is, if they don't break the law in the country they're into they can't be prosecuted in Japan EVEN if they drank alcohol while under 20.

He'll hang for sure. But it's very sad, I think this might have been preventable with a better work-life balance within that family. Probably the man was never at home and the wife simply couldn't manage everything alone, leading to this conflict and conclusion.

For all non-engineers here: By now the decay heat is way less than 1kW per tonne of fuel. Given they have thousands of tons of cooling water and given that it can also work in a passive circulation mode, there is absolutely no danger from stopping the active circulation for many days in a row. A few hours won't even move the needle. The only issue is that something didn't work as it should have been.

Rain man - try ottoman cuisine... Very good too!

The cheating did not result in recalls or safety problems.

Yeah, because Toyota, in their "cheating" were using stricter (and slightly different) standards than what the government imposed.

Buh-bye!

Yes, let's stop wars, because they pollute... not because they kill? How blatantly disturbed must the author of this article be, in order to mention all those tons of CO2 but not mention the actual human victims ONCE!!?? :( .

Funny?

People die. That's life.

Economic plan:

1 - start a war.

Cry me a river, all the commenters here. Have you checked where is your underwear (and 90% of everything else) made recently? China? Then you're supporting this, but claiming you don't.
