But how accurate can it be if they only talked to one random onlooker instead of four?

Ultimately, the CBS article is just a word-for-word re-release of this AP story with additions based on the content of the Japan Times article.

Better to get information from their actual sources than to support increasingly right-wing mouthpieces.

Everything looks so clean in Japan, even the pipe doesn't have any dirt on it!

It is a well-known custom that passersby collectively clean the pipe if this happens. Society is everyone.

Moles? It's always moles
