The importance of the concept of 'face' in this disaster has been overlooked. When a Japanese airliner losts its tail and crashed in the ocean near Tokyo the chief of maintenance of Air Japan killed himself. He had lost face. In Japanese culture it is the worst thing that can happen to a being, and often leads to suicide.
Now the Japanese are trying desperately to save face, and trashing the planet and the future of mankind by doing so.
