Snow hinders rescues and aid deliveries to isolated communities after Japan quakes kill 128 people

WAJIMA, JAPAN escue teams worked through snow to deliver supplies to isolated hamlets Monday, a week after a powerful earthquake hit western Japan, killing at least 161 people. Heavy snowfall in Ishikawa Prefecture over the weekend and into the new week added to the urgency. After the New Year’s Day 7.6 magnitude temblor, 103 people were still unaccounted for, down from the more than 200 reported earlier, and
565 people were injured. Hundreds of aftershocks have followed, rattling Noto Peninsula, where the quakes were centered. Taiyo Matsushita walked three hours through mud to reach a supermarket in Wajima city to buy food and other supplies for his family.

Boeing 737 Max 9: United Airlines finds loose bolts during inspections
B
olts in need of “additional tightening” have been found during inspections of Boeing 737 Max 9s, United Airlines has said. Inspections began after a section of the fuselage fell from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 on Friday. United Airlines said “installation issues” relating to door plugs would be “remedied” before the aircraft type would return to service. Some 171 planes of the same type remain grounded by the US regulator. In its statement, United said: “Since we began preliminary inspections on Saturday, we have found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug - for example, bolts that needed additional tightening.” The door plug is a piece of fuselage
with a window that can be used as an emergency exit in certain configurations. It was this part of the Alaska Airlines plane which dramatically fell off mid-flight over the US state of Oregon, eventually landing in a teacher’s back garden. The plane made an emergency landing and none of the passengers or crew were seriously injured. The vast majority of Boeing 737 Max 9s used in the US are operated by United Airlines and Alaska, while Turkish Airlines, Panama’s Copa Airlines and Aeromexico have also grounded jets of the same model for inspections. United said it had cancelled 200 flights as of Monday and expected significant cancellations on Tuesday. Cont. @ page 5
