KAL007 would like a word. 1983, 269 fatalities, Soviet Air Force Sukhoi Su-15.

One company in one location, hardly “Japan”.

There are special closets to store the shoes but that can be an issue. My sons play soccer so they have various sets of soccer shoes that get nasty - these we store in our garage.

First thing I noticed, too. I live in Japan, shoes stay in the “genkan” or entrance area and never come further into the house.

Reply to TIL The US Geologic Survey analyzes twitter data that can often identify earthquakes faster than their own sensors as well as filter out false positives from their sensors. by AudibleNod

I was on Twitter during the big Fukushima quake and subsequent massive aftershocks in 2011. Was able to let my brother in the US know I was OK. Tokyo immediately shut down, so I just walked home from the office, which took an hour an a half (stopped for beers). Incredibly eerie as there was almost no traffic.
