Breaking News... RT is the first English language source with this, but is not allowed on FR.

NHK saying there were several explosions at the Sagami Depot in Kanagawa.

When NK posts something in ENGLISH, then yes, they would be a better source.
But, as I noted in the very first post, RT was the first major ENGLISH LANGUAGE report.

I would be very interested to read an indepth account of the Sarin gas attacks, when you have time to write it up. The story also has an Australian connection, as apparently the cult had obtained rural properties in Aust, and there were stories that there were heaps of dead sheep, and experiments in chemical warfare going on.

But this explosion today - very amazing! Very worrying, also. Please do post up anything you hear - I am always impressed by your informative posts.

As an aside, this explosion in Japan is strangely similar to the Chinese inferno of last week. I can remember that on the conspiracy minded pages (yeah ... I know, those sorts of pages ...) people were speculating that it was an act of war, and China had been bombed. That does seem very unlikely, but the way that it is followed by this explosion makes one wonder.

And the lack of any coherent explanation?

Look at this! From a a news page:

US Navy Commander Bill Urban, a spokesman, said the depot did not store ammunition or radiological material.

"The storage building is not designated as a hazardous material storage facility as some initial reports indicated. We are in the process of determining the exact contents of the building," he said earlier.

They don't know what is in the building? But it exploded like that?

As an ER doc I have a somewhat skewed vision of this. Nothing is as tragic as getting a kid with a serious head injury, who will NEVER BE THE SAME, who was out riding his bike and could have been protected with a helmet. I always encourage helmet use in kids.
Adults? As far as I’m concerned, it’s your choice.

Regarding subs and torpedoes, other comments have mentioned that most subs are small and used for inserting people on beaches for covert ops. Apparently these are the only ones sent out, so perhaps it is secret landings for bad activities, but not torpedo attacks or rockets. Do you have any info. or thoughts on this? I also looked at your personal page but see you have put nothing there, and I was wondering about the source of your knowledge and your experience in the Far East.

NHK. I used to watch their daily English news broadcast in the mid 90’s on a local PBS station

“There was soooooo much more to it than just that, though I understand the Western media wasn’t very interested in all the other-worldly-sounding other details.”

Faux has already lost interest in this one.

Has it already been declared as non-terrorism?

They'll declare it "workplace violence involving fireworks."

Possibly accidental, possibly North Korean, possibly jihad.

And lets not forget that the Norks have been kidnapping kids out of Japan to raise up as Nork agents to be reinserted back into Japan for decades now.

“One has to be concerned what kind of toys the US military has stored there.”

We can neither confirm nor deny that there is anything worth confirming or denying stored at that site.
