She was among 14 tourists and a guide on a eight-day tour to Switzerland organised by ANA Sales Co, said the news agency, quoting All Nippon Airways.

And why were all the Japanese in the last three cars, you ask, well they all were the first class cars. Bad economy and all.

Fracking kapitalism, how the hell do they work ?

Seriously... has you noticed that financial crisis only hurts working peeps ? Beside Maybach there is not a single luxury car maker that have problem selling their production... Lambo Reventon sold out before reaching any showroom, Bugatti Veyron every limited edition sold out few hours after being announced, Lexus LFA same... If you need your salary to pay for the rent of the month... you'ze fracked... the few others will do just fine...

Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc as it's currency... and it was cheaper around May this year... but not so much now.

Investors are the only people that can continue to make money from flailing economies.
Working people always get shafted.
