Japan will spend this money on unnecessary military toys rather then support its own elderly who are constantly in the media for murdering one another because of "I was getting tired to take care of He/Him"

Pathetic waste of tax payer money.

Amazing how many experts are on here!! Even people commenting "I have my pilots license" OK, great for you but how often have you flown a Boeing? My guess never.

How about leaving it up to the REL experts rather than starting a gossip column.

Aircraft overran the 11,000’ runway on takeoff. Was a high density altitude condition with temperature over 100°F.

You reach a point in every takeoff where you don’t have enough remaining runway to abort, so you take off.

On positive rate of climb, gear should be retracting, but was not. Video shows ram air generator deployed, meaning electrical system malfunction. Engines were no longer supplying any or enough electrical power.

Well there you go, the report is all done and all the investigators can go home now you have solved the reason for the crash. Amazing how you can do it from your sofa.

Those above making comments suggesting its because of Boeing. You have no idea so stop starting rumors.

And the four men are not named why?

Why do we need Police Detectives when we have you? Amazing how you know all that

Elementary my “not so dear”…takenforaride…

Anyone who makes a guess in these situations is just starting a gossiping rumor.

Prostitute and her handler! Robbed and murdered him for what was probably very little money…so sad and pointless but the scumbag who did it should be hung!

We have been in a major earthquake where we lost power, water and no toilet at our house for 2 months. We now keep a portable camping toilet with its own tank and chemicals at home.

When any military member does things like this the whole base they are from should be locked down for 4 months not letting anyone off. That will soon take care of any idiots thinking of breaking the law while off base.

Japan needs these guys. The reason its safe in Japan is due to them.

Well that story has just taken 5 minutes of wasted time out pf my life. He is similar to a politician, speaks for 5 minutes but says nothing.

"His 72-year-old grandmother was also found dead and bleeding....."

Can't be both

Used to be you bought a Mitsubishi car.

Then you bought a Nissan but it was actually a Mitsubishi.

Now you buy a Mitsubishi but it’s actually a Taiwanese Foxconn car.

Confusing to say the least.

This has been going on for many years. You can buy a Mazda that is actually a Ford (just one example) right back as far as the 1980's. Auto makers have been in bed together like this since the 1960's

@ Alongfortheride: A man who hits a woman is not a man.

Unless the woman hit the man first. It's called equality.

Nobody should hit another person. If they do, and get hit in return, it's the aggressor's fault.

In the case of the woman being the aggressor you block, not hit.

So what is missing from this article? Something about her son being severely disabled and the old mother fearing she was becoming unable to cope?

Is that what you take a flying guess at to start rumors or do you have factual information?

I wonder if the conspiracy theorists will say it was filmed in a studio in Tokyo.

However, whenever I ask hundreds of people that I know if they went overseas for GW, very rarey does anyone say they did. Who are they ?

Probably some of the other 124 million people you don't know.

Its a shame the story is not reported properly. The laws in Australia are not yet in force, only been passed and it is currently not sure when it will come into effect.

A man who hits a woman is not a man.

Perhaps tourists need to open their eyes. You buy food from convenience stores which have rubbish bins inside them. Even if you carry the food away with you go in to the same chain shop and drop the rubbish there. Train stations do not have rubbish cans but most trains do (not subways) so make use of these 2 things alone and carry a small amount of rubbish back to your hotel. There is also mention the lack of english speaking staff in restaurants in Japan, are you serious?!! You make the choice to come to a non english speaking country for a visit and then complain people don't speak english! Do restaurant staff in your own countries speak Japanese and other languages?

NZ is too weak to carry out their promise of this.Its all about votes with NZ govt

It is a simple matter of spending what they earn, not of strength. They see a need to alter spending patterns to increase the expenditure on defense. They will do exactly that.

If there is one thing all politicians seem able to do it is to shuffle spending like shuffling cards in a deck. No matter what party leads,

And if there is 1 thing NZ is good at is saying they will do something then change their minds.

Its won't happen.

What's the point of spending all this money on "defence?" Prices are out the roof, taxes are high. What is there to defend?

All Japanese territory and over 120 million citizens, and you wonder what is there to defend? I would call Japan well worth defending, even though it seems you dont agree.

And if in fact it needed to be defended Japan can call on the USA where they have an agreement to fund all their military bases in return of support if it happened.

Peter14

Australia spending up to 2.5% GDP on defense and looking at going to 3% in the next decade. Even New Zealand is increasing their defense spending in the coming years.

NZ has not spend 1 cent on anything that fires live weapons. All they have done is purchase surveillance aircraft to help with search and rescue & humanitarian support.

What a total waste of MY money!! Spend the same money looking after your own elderly and supporting young couple who want children.

Sorry Japan but right at the moment you are a failure

Yeah, I see the victim-blaiming of a child who had no idea of the true implications of her actions is already underway in the comments. This is statutory rape. Stop defending rapists by blaming the victim.

I see your back again when anything to do with women pops up in the media.

Just remember 2 years ago she was not classed as a minor.

Also, why is it with you when you pop up in comments you do a major rant and then before anyone has a chance to respond to you the comments are turned off here? One would wonder if there is a conflict of interest going on here.

"Police said Horii took the girl several times to a hotel between August 12 and August 19 last year"

So it was after the "several times" she decided it was the wrong thing?

Then it goes on to say "After THE incident the girl and her Mother went to the police"

Don't get me wrong people, the guy is 100% at fault here as he knew here age but I think there is more to this story.

Tokyo Guy

I might be imagining things, but aren't there more of these stories than usual recently?

That's not a dig at the website; they just report what's going on. But it's like people are getting more and more deranged and doing more and more of these heinous things. Family members killing each other, people using cars as weapons.

Have to wonder if there's some underlying cause.

Or perhaps certain media sites don't want to post anything positive. They only want to report negative things to make people hate more.

Why drag out the sentencing, there is no doubt he did it, admitted he wanted to kill someone so he could be in court tomorrow, found guilty, sentenced and in a box the day after.

So where was the "Human activity" 10,000 years ago when the earth heated up and melted the glaziers? Must have been the aliens cars and trucks that did it you think?

Flawed argument, when science proves the current climate crisis is caused by human that does not mean every single change in climate and temperatures can be attributed to the same cause, that is a completely irrational position.

Do you have any actual scientific argument that refutes the consensus of the experts? because just saying you don't understand the topic is not an argument.

Do YOU have any scientific argument that this total BS is caused by humans? Or are you just going off whats on the internet by supposed scientists?
