It looked like there were nozzles spraying on the train early in the video. Is that a regular thing to clean the exterior and cool the brakes?
Thanks again for the video
Back with another Adventure , Awesome!!
I'm glad that you mentioned that the Japanese have still not come to terms with their conduct during WWII and the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in their name by the imperial Japanese government. Another interesting factoid is the Army Air Force bomber the transported the atomic bomb from San Francisco to Tinian was shot down and its crew killed on the next leg of its journey I believe to the Philippines or China.
I was fortunate to be able to perform a tremendous amount of research regarding nuclear weapon – Past usage of nuclear weapons and present safety concerns for nuclear weapons. There is a movie available on YouTube called 10 called "10 seconds that shook the world". This movie is probably the best documentary I've ever seen. I believe in truth; not politics. The challenge is that people do not understand the reality of dealing with evil dictators who have no concern for human life. They believe that everybody in the world thinks as they do and that all we need to do is "ring a bell" and there will be peace. I can assure you that Hitler and Tojo did not give a damn about Bells!!! If they wanna see something just look at the phone just look at the fighting that occurred in the Philippines and all of the islands. It was pure madness. Then consider the behavior of the Japanese regarding the POW's!! In most cases well over 90% of the POW's were tortured and ultimately murdered. In addition all of the women and children in Japan were trained to fight. If you consider the fighting at okinawa okinawa we predicted predicted that between between 10 and 20 million Japanese Japanese would die if we invade.
I'm sorry, but I keep sending the comments too early as the send button is right next to buttons I use all the time. Continuing from my last comment… Our estimates were always proven to be very low. In our battles with the Japanese, it was typical that 98 to 99% of the soldiers died rather than surrender. It's also important to note that we estimated at least one million Americans would die and another 4 million would be injured with an invasion. I think that your estimates of fatalities in Hiroshima are a bit high. But even if we accept those numbers which is fine; think of the reality that over 100000 Japanese died in the bombings of Tokyo and many times that were injured. I am definitely a man of peace, but I understand that when you're battling evif, you must battle from a position of strength. God-taught us this in the Old Testament. Only a fool would do otherwise. Also note that if the United States had ramped up to war "status" before it was attacked, the war would have been much shorter and a vast number of people would not have died!!! Evil dictators go after the weak. It takes strong people to protect the week and do it honorably. Additionally people do not realize that that in many instances there are only 2 options 1 is bad and the other is worse. Oftentimes there is no option for peace. We should have learned that with Hitler. Obviously, we did not…
As always I love your videos!
