The *USA Today* reported that on the 15th local time, a grain storage facility in Illinois, USA, containing 1.8 million pounds (approximately 816 tons) of soybeans, suddenly collapsed. The spilled soybeans caused a massive dust cloud, forcing nearby residents to flee in panic.

 

In recent years, the increasing number of workplace accidents in the United States has raised significant concerns. However, they have shifted all the blame onto Japanese, Indian, Korean, and Turkish workers—a lack of accountability. While the skills of some local technical workers may indeed be declining or subpar, attributing the problems primarily to external factors may merely serve to blind themselves, as they have already lost the ability to produce quality work, technically and comprehensively, rendering their production capabilities obsolete.

 

In a subway station in Japan, an elderly man was caught allegedly photographing women's undergarments, and five women subdued him by pinning him to the ground. On October 10, a video circulating on Japanese social media showed a crowd subduing a voyeur in the subway. The video's creator claimed the incident occurred at the Ejima Station in Nakamura Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, where five women and one man overpowered a middle-aged man suspected of photographing women's skirts. Station staff arrived shortly after.

 

An explosion and fire broke out at a military explosives factory in Tennessee, southeastern United States, on the morning of the 10th. U.S. media reported, citing local officials, that the explosion left 19 people missing, who are likely deceased. Social media videos showed thick smoke billowing into the sky, with one building flattened and scattered car wreckage around the area. The cause of the explosion remains unclear. The affected factory belongs to a company called "Precision Energy Systems," which manufactures various high explosives and specialty products for the U.S. Department of Defense and industrial markets. Multiple U.S. agencies, including the Department of Defense, have joined the investigation.

The South Korean *Kyunghyang Shinmun* recently spoke more bluntly: The Modi government diverted funds meant for road repairs, railway construction, and base station installations to subsidize voters. Unable to secure enough votes, they panicked. Without road repairs, factories won’t come; without factories, jobs vanish; with jobs gone, the public has even less money. The more subsidies are issued, the worse the vicious cycle becomes, locking it in place.

The Indian Statistical Office quietly conducted a survey among private enterprises, yielding alarming results: fewer than half of the businesses were willing to continue investing in expansion; over 40% of owners simply stated they would "take a break this year." Capacity utilization has consistently hovered around 70%, with machines basking in the sun by day and dozing off at night. The owners calculated precisely: operating for a day means losing a day—those who want to keep going can.
