The following is from a series of columns by Masayuki Takayama, who brought the last week's weekly Shincho, which published entitled, 'after Kagoike.''
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the post-war world.
In 1966, an All Nippon Airways plane bound for Haneda from Chitose crashed into Tokyo Bay in the dark.
Communication with the control tower was made at 19:00:20 over Kisarazu.
Forty seconds later, there was no response to the air traffic controller's call.
The route between Kisarazu and Haneda was searched, and the bodies of 133 passengers and the remains of the aircraft were found 13 kilometers from Kisarazu.
The Transport Ministry has commissioned a team headed by Japan University professor Hidemasa Kimura, a leading figure in the aviation world, to investigate its cause.
The plane was a state-of-the-art Boeing 727, said to be almost as powerful as a jet fighter.
In fact, there is an anecdote that Prime Minister Eisaku Sato flew to Naha in the same type of aircraft when Okinawa was handed over to the Japanese government, but his F86 fighter escort planes could not catch up with him.
The 727, in particular, had an outstanding descent performance, and there were three accidents in the United States due to excessive descent without the pilots noticing.
The investigation of the recovered aircraft did not reveal anything unusual. Most convinced that the Pilots who couldn't use their high-performance aircraft had made a "pilot error."
However, there are a lot of paranoid groups in the world.
The Asahi Shimbun was particularly pathological.
They were suspicious that accident investigator Hidemasa Kimura had been involved in the selection of All Nippon Airways aircraft and had chosen the 727 in question.
They brought up the allegations that "if the model he chose had a flawed fuselage, he would have lost face" and "he intended to make a pilot error from the start."
There is no basis for this.
It is petty-minded suspicion itself, but when viewed in that light, if the "passenger burns" were caused by a defect in the aircraft before the crash, it means that it was defective.
There are many ways to blame the plane for the crash.
Asahi was obsessed with an incident in which one of the passengers was found "with a rosary around his neck, which he usually does not do."
The plane plummets as the cabin catches fire.
The passengers, realizing their endgame, may have hung the rosary around their necks.
Kunio Yanagida received the Oya Soichi Nonfiction Award for his portrayal of it.
The rosary's story became the "truth," and the public began to suspect Kimura Hidemasa.
But the accident happened in a matter of 30 seconds.
Panic psychology asserts that people are unable to act logically when their brains exceed their processing capacity.
Although Rosario's story is a lie that is too good to be true, in the end, Asahi's intuition won out over the Tokyo Bay accident, twisting the accident report's conclusion to "faulty airframe and possible cause unknown.
Asahi learned the taste of blood has since begun to play with the vulgar allegations.
One of them is suspected of Moritomo Gakuen, who had the state land cheaply dissipated.
The Asahi newspaper assumed that because 'Akie Abe is an acquaintance of Kagoike of the Moritomo Gakuen school,' she had dictated the site's price to the government.
The Ministry of Finance indeed discounted 800 million yen from the proposed price of 900 million yen, but this is a pond for industrial waste disposal.
If you dig it up, it's a pile of garbage.
On top of that, planes are flying overhead as they approach Itami Airport.
Discounting is a matter of course, and the park in Toyonaka City, an adjoining land, has cut 1.4 billion yen.
However, the opposition parties wanted to take a break from the North Korean missiles and take advantage of the Asahi's gimmick, and the TV stations started to get excited.
And an employee of a Ministry of Finance agency committed suicide.
But the original is just a gimmick.
There is no fire, so there is no smoke.
It was a weak ending.
And then Asahi remembered the Tokyo Bay disaster.
Let's use unscientific emotionalism to destroy Abe.
So, they have the wife of an employee who killed herself suing the government.
The other day there was a plea hearing at the Osaka District Court, and the Asahi newspaper reported on it in a terrific article.
On the front page, it said, "I want to know the truth about my husband's suicide," which heightened my emotions, and on the social page, "On the last morning, my husband said 'thank you' to me," they keep going with a tearjerker.
In the editorial, "Does the administration have a conscience?", the report implies that Abe was responsible for the suicide.
It was the same media that caused the suicides of the two "Monju" employees, not looking at the facts.
Moreover, Kagoike and his wife, who played the lead role in the Moritomo scandal, did not appear in any "full-page Moritomo" articles.
Kagoike confessed online that he was "tricked" by Anti-Abe Sugano Tamotsu and Mizuho Fukushima.
The gimmick disturbers are cut and discarded.
The employee's wife will also be cut off tomorrow.
That is a pity.
