Video

To the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) the bubble-top North American P-51D was known as the Mustang, in the newly created U.S. Air Force (USAF) it was known as the F-51 Mustang.  For British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) members still using the World War Two combat aircraft, it was known as the Mustang Mark-4.

Silent U.S. Air Force film, edited by me to show SAAF Mustang Mk-4s joining USAF F-51 Mustangs for a ground attack operation. One of the SAAF Mk-4s crash landed upon returning. Date and location not indicated:

I worked for the original owner of the Pine Ridge Mall during the few years before it was sold to the second owner, an evil global corporation based in Chicago, and we used to have car and RV displays during the warmer months of the year.  But, the evil second owner killed everything off!  The Pine Ridge Mall is on its third owner, supposedly a family company based in Saint Louis, Missouri, which specializes in bringing back depressed malls. The third owners have been working hard to slowly bring in new businesses, and they gave their blessings on this inaugural Winter/New Year indoor auto-show (with a possibility for more car shows!).

Disaster 2024: Two weeks on, sudden deaths of survivors, food industry destroyed, quake standards failed!

This is a 14JAN2024 update to the 01JAN2024, 7.6 magnitude Richter scale (7  Japan Meteorological Agency [JMA] scale) earthquake in Japan.

Deaths of people that happened during the quake are now at 221, at least 22 people are still missing.  Almost 5-hundred people in 15 communities across Ishikawa Prefecture remain cut off because of damaged roads.

NHK (Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai, Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reports at least 13 survivors of the quakes and tsunamis have died from “sudden or chronic illness” after being in an evacuation center! Survivors in evacuation centers are reporting lack of food, water, not being able to bathe, and conditions so cramped that they cannot stretch their legs.  389 evacuation sites still have no water or electrical power, those evacuation centers have a combined estimated 19-thousand-14 survivors!

As of 13JAN2024, “…142 people were infected with acute respiratory infections such as the coronavirus and influenza, and 24 people with gastrointestinal infections such as the norovirus. According to a survey by the JSIPC, flu patients were confirmed in 18 out of 460 evacuation centers.”

Nikkei Asia revealed that the quake “…destroyed homes that had been thought to meet stringent seismic standards…”, officials assume that decades of smaller quakes eventually weakened the once quake resistant buildings.

The fishing industry along the Noto Peninsula is shutdown due to the loss of many boats, and the harbors where boats docked are no longer usable because the earthquake thrust the land under the water upward, as well as shifting the coastline by more than 8-hundred feet.  The Japan News reports that “…more than 50 fishing ports were damaged by ground uplift among other factors, and at least 145 fishing boats were capsized, sunk or stranded by the tsunami. An assessment of the damage is ongoing, and the actual damage may be more extensive than currently reported.”

Local farmers say their land is no longer usable.  The United States Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service reported that across Ishikawa Prefecture the number of livestock farmers (ranchers) negatively affected by the quake will increase.

Science: Mysterious seismic swarm foreshadowed monster Japan earthquake.

The Japan Times warned that it has been three centuries since Mount Fuji erupted, and also revealed that most Japanese don’t think it will, even though the Kanagawa Prefectural government is preparing: “The sunlight would be blocked out, meaning there would be no visibility. You couldn’t use your car. Even if you walked, ash would get into your eyes and mouth. You might think that if you get to the hospital then you would be alright, but that assumption also breaks down. We want to avoid as much tragedy as possible in a situation where there is nothing much we can do.”-Hideaki Anan, Medical Crisis Countermeasures for Kanagawa Prefecture
