Fire Away!
I’ve solved the mystery of the huge increase in the number of fires being reported in Liuzhou. It seems that there are not more fires, but more reporting. I get most of my local news through Chinese search engine, Baidu’s news service. The Chinese Fire Service has opened a website featuring fires all over China and Baidu is picking these up.The site does also feature advice on fire prevention etc. There is even a selection of videos of fires.
By coincidence, today, my local newspaper has this spectacular photo of the China Airlines (Taiwan) which burst into flames at Naha airport, on the Japanese island of Okinawa. Reporting disasters outside China is allowed. Reporting disasters in Japan is to be encouraged!
More here.
Ironic that it's a Chinese airplane company on fire in Japan. At least
people got off the plane before the disaster.
Well, it's a Taiwan airline. So the mainland gets a double strike. A dig at
Japan and another at the incompetence of Taiwan without the benefit of the
Communist Party to help them fly planes!
Thats where my knowledge about airlines stop. I just read the name and
figured it was Chinese :-)
