I still think patience and confirmation is necessary, as you said earlier. I think these translations and videos are quite good, but there is a mistake at the beginning, as I discuss below.

Thanks for lending us your skills.

Mr. Fujita:

Since I do not have much time I would like to ask about the suspicious information being uncovered and the doubts people world wide are having about the events of 911. Many of these doubters are very influential people. In such circumstances I believe the Japanese government, which claims the attacks were carried out by Al Qaeda, should be providing the victims families with this new information. In that context I would like to ask several questions.

First of all I would like to get all members of the committee to look at this panel and look at the pictures I have provided you with. This is concrete evidence in the form of photographs and other types of information. The first photograph has computer graphics attached to show how large the plane that hit the Pentagon was. A 757 is quite a large airplane with a width of 38 meters. So as you can see even though such a large plane hit the pentagon there is only a hole that is too small for the airplane. This is a photograph taken of firemen at work and you can also see there is no damage of the sort an airplane that large should make. I would also like you to look at the lawn in front and notice that there are no airplane parts on it. Let us now look at the third picture, which is also of the pentagon taken from a U.S. TV news report has captions that show the roof of the Pentagon is still intact. Again even though a huge airplane is supposed to have hit, there is not enough corresponding damage. Now let us move to the next photograph. Here is a photograph of a hole, as Minister Komura knows the Pentagon is a very strong building with many walls. Yet the airplane has pierced them. But as you know, airplanes are made of the lightest possible material. An airplane made of such light material could not make a hole like that. Next I would like to show a photograph of how the airplane hit the building. The airplane made a U-turn, avoiding the Defense Secretary's office and hitting the only part of the Pentagon that had been specially reinforced to withstand a bomb attack.

Also, in the middle of page five we have a comment from a U.S. airforce official. He says I have flown the two types of airplane used on 911 and I cannot believe it would be possible for someone who is flying one for the first time to be able to carry out such a maneuver. Also, as you know, they have not recovered the flight recorders from most of these 4 airplanes. Also, there were more than 80 security cameras at the Pentagon but they have refused to release almost all of the footage. In any case, as you have just seen there is no picture of the airplane or of its wreckage in any of these photographs. It is very strange that no such pictures have been shown to us.

As you know Japan's self-defense forces have their headquarters in Ichigaya. Can you imagine if an airplane hit a major city, if an hour and a half after an airplane hit New York that an airplane could hit the Pentagon? In such a situation how could our allies allow such an attack to take place. I would like the Defense Minister to answer this.

Defense Minister Fuyushiba Ishiba:

I have not prepared so I will have to answer ad-lib. If such a situation took place then the airforce would send fighters up to shoot down any airplanes. This is what happened with an attack on the German constitutional court. In the case of Japan our reaction would depend on what kind of airplane it was, who was flying it and what their purpose was. However, according to our laws it might be hard to order an airplane to be shot down just because it was flying at a low level. We would probably have self-defense forces fly with it and ask for a cabinet decision. Since an airplane would have many people on board we would have do discuss what to do. This happened a long time ago but a Cesna airplane was flown into the house of a person called Yoshio Kodama. There was also an All Japan Airways flight bound for Hakodate that was hijacked and had the pilot killed. It would be best if such a thing never happened but we need to prepare new laws for such situations and discuss them in Parliament.

Put together a blog entry with all of your concerns so we can link to it.

When I finish, I will put this all together in one blog entry as you suggest. I'll just do the first video now.

I am satisfied that other than the first mistake above, and the lack of explanation at the very beginning of the procedural issues of the November meeting which I think are important, the subtitles in the first video are accurate.

BUT THIS REMAINS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THE TRANSLATORS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT.

I really can't emphasize this enough. The first subtitle "I would like to talk about the origins of the war on terrorism" is NOT what he said. While that is up in English he is going into detail about the legislative meeting related to the introduction of the government's anti-terrorism bill. This totally changes the meaning and significance of what he is saying -- he's not just getting up and talking about the war on terrorism in general, he's talking about whether 9/11 is a sound basis for legislation. I hope people see how important that is -- think Patriot Act, for example. Why has this error not been fixed? I don't think the video should be sent to anyone until it is fixed.

Another mistake that I think is important:

Near the beginning, he doesn't just say "how do you it was Al Qaeda," he says "how do you know it was Al Qaeda, or just Al Qaeda?"

Later, he says this about the Taliban -- how do you know it was the Taliban, or just the Taliban? The subtitle only says how do you know it was the Taliban. It's not clear to me what he is implying here (he have just repeated the form he used in asking about the Taliban), but that's what he said.

Other than that, the subtitles could be a bit more complete. A couple of times, he repeats the idea of this being a crime that needs investigation, and I don't think that can be emphasized enough so I would like to see it in subtitle each time he says it. But this idea is conveyed by the other times he says it that are subtitled.

He also uses the world "konkyo," or basis, saying what is your basis for thinking the Taliban, or just the Taliban, was behind 9/11. He uses that word after asking how did you confirm this, so the idea is there, but he repeats the idea with the strong word "konkyo," which implies a sound basis for believing something. So I would like to see it included.

Finally, when the guy in the background announces "Prime Minister," and then announces the Foreign Minister by title and name, I would like to see that in subtitle.

A couple of more problems:

Fujita asks about at one point how the Japanese government made its official determination, as the Japanese government, that 9/11 was carried out by Al Qaeda.

The Prime Minister earlier talks about comprehensively reviewing information then making a determination. He also talks about exchanging information on the attacks and on responses.

These ideas are generally conveyed, but for full accuracy and completeness, these parts should be redone.

I appreciate you trying to get this information as accurate as possible. Have you been able to contact the source regarding their errors? Here is their website http://www.911video.de/ (as was shown in the videos).

I would contact them myself, but i dont know which is the "Contact Us" link as i'm not versed in their language.

Let me know how you make out and perhaps rep can update the errors.

Thanks again for your input.

there is a translated version..

Minor problem:

At 3:13-3:24, Prime Minister says they sent the National Police Agency emergency team to the response headquarters established in the New York Japanese consulate.

Possibly major problem:

at 2:51-256, he says "chokusetus kansetsu" or "chokusetu kansatsu" then unintelligible words, then reached that conclusion."

If he said "chokusetsu kansatsu" that would be "direct observation" and he may be saying "you didn't have direct observation so how did you reach that conclusion?" I need to confirm what he said before translating.

Sorry to make this my workspace, everyone, but I want to get it posted.

johndoex, thanks for posting this. I'll try through YouTube and the German site to tell the translators about this blog.
