I think 2011 did help the Ishikawa people in that many of them, at least, did not go back into buildings after the quake and thus were safe from the numerous aftershocks and, for those by the coast, the tsunami(s).

I made a note of your comment on fire-escape doors when you made it previously and I'm now consciously planning how to unlock/open one if needed. I've always been cautious on trains thanks to some interesting experiences in the UK but so far (knock on wood) the worst I've been assaulted with is perfume in Japan.

Emergency escape doors locked! Now that's right up there with "honest politician." or "military intelligence." or other alphabet soup statements of fact.

Has anyone seem images of this woman? Is it unusual for a woman to go on this kind of rampage? I'm wondering if it was really a trans"woman". Thank you for sharing this important information - I'm willing to believe it's not just in Japan where emergency measures are mostly for show.
