It was fine.

Today is Columbus Day.

In 1992 I was in Seville, Spain and today that year was the closing day of Expo '92.

How fast time flies!

Facebook reminds me of this day because I posted about it for sometimes.

This is one of the special days in my life.

It was fine and hot.

It's been 30 years since the JAL No. 123 plane crashed on the top of Mt. Osutaka and 520 passengers were killed. There were only four passengers saved.  And this is the worst plane accident ever happened.
It happened at 6:56 pm.

There are many historical events which exact times are recorded.
For example, Hiroshima Atomic Bombing at 8:15am on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki Atomic Bombing at 11:02 am on August 9, 1945.

How many things do you remember the exact time?

It was fine but very cold.
Last night when I got to the station,
it was hailing, then snowing.  This morning I saw some ice needles(霜柱: shimobashira) in Tokyo on my way to the office.

Today is March 11 when we cannot forget forever. It's been four years since the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami happened and many people's lives were lost and many places were totally devastated.
There are still many people missing and suffering.

I hope the early recovery of Tohoku area.

It's been a year since the Great East Japan Earthquake happened. The number of the dead is 15,854, and 3,155 are still missing. 344,000 people are still living in the temporary housing. Temporary housing is kasetsu jutaku (仮設住宅) in Japanese.
At 2:46 PM last year many people's lives were changed drastically and they are still suffering. I pray for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami, and wish for the early recovery of its stricken area.
I was in the office last year and could not come home because the train stopped.
There were many memorial events here and there this year.
I was on the train from Narita at that time today. At the airport there were so many people.
