An interesting episode occurred between the Chinese and Japanese teams seemingly about operating one of JP team's equipment. The CN team lead asked the Japanese if they wanted to go inside the rubble together. The JP team lead went: "It's too dangerous", and offered to 'teach' the Chinese how to operate their equipment instead -

This one is from 2018, during the SAR operation after the M6.8 earthquake in Hualien.

The engagement videotaped in the tent as shown actually occured between Taiwan's SAR team and Japan's SAR team, not between China's and Japan's SAR teams (since the separatist government on Taiwan only accepted SAR asssistance offer from Japan and not China).

Other than that, the fact where the Japanese SAR team resorted to teach the local Taiwanese SAR team on how to use their equipment while being reluctant to go into the disaster side themselves alongside their Taiwanese counterpart is accurate, according to the video.

Ain't this one from 2018? During the SAR after M6.8 earthquake in Hualien.

Huh, looks like I got bamboozled.

As for East Palestine, this town of 5,000 people has always revolved, in one way or another, around these train tracks. They cut right through the center of town, with trains running "every 13 minutes." But in recent years, Norfolk Southern has cut thousands of jobs -- leading to many locals wondering if this rail car's broken axel could have been avoided.

"They call them bomb trains," said Ratner, describing trains barreling through town at high rates of speed with flammable materials.

Now, the trains are back -- even more often than days past, as freighters try to make up for delayed deliveries.

If an Arab guy called something a bomb train he’d be arrested on the spot.

No worries. Also, the explanation has been updated.

Just would like to note that the Soviet government paid the cost of cleanup, evacuation and medical bills for Chernobyl victims while Norfolk Southern gave everyone $5 each ($25000 total) and I am not yet aware of any government compensation.

The donkeys are Norfolk are better off paying nothing at all. 5 dollar recompense is just humiliation to the victims.

I do have an idea for the victims at East Palestine though. If I were them I’d band together and put the 25K to good use by buying a weather balloon off Aliexpress and launching it right outside of Washington DC. That’ll get the government’s attention.

So Norfolk basically bought everyone coffee, and everything is water under the bridge.

*But now that water under the bridge is filled with dioxins.

Why let the elderly go to waste like this? Wouldn’t it be better to send them on banzai charges in an open conflict with China? This way you can get the maximum utility out of the useless elderly before getting rid of them.

Oh I almost forgot do remember to harvest any useful organs they have before they kick the bucket.

Ukraine far right: we're way ahead of you guys
