I don't know anything about that event today in China other than what I have read in this mainstream-media news article referenced here
I read stuff on the internet, it causes me to think for myself.
This note is the result of my examination
The progress on this page of the information I have assembled and developed today after reading the article does not follow my cognitive process since I first started working on it a few minutes ago
Earlier today, before reading that article, an email from computer-game platform Steam.
Deep-discount sale on the computer-game Sons of the Forest that I couldn't pass up
I don't care for the zombie genre of anything. The graphics look good as Icarus and the zombies are equivalent to the wildlife of Icarus, it seems to me.
For me, hours earlier, trying to fall asleep, thoughts formed in my drowsy mind
Among the details of the scenario, asking a small group of people to create a process for voting while in a common-room as to rules for that common-room. Complete majority or 3/2 majority. And which should we use just to make that decision.
Finally asleep, such vidid details in my sleeping-visions

(from internet transcript)
excerpts, Chapter 17 – The Frisbees of Dreamland
The Mainstay would not have a chance. The Frisbee would not begin to climb until she was directly underneath the target. Fourteen miles. Twelve. Ten. Eight. Six miles to the converted air transport.
"The Mainstay just reversed her turn-yeah, she's jinking. A Foxfire just swept over us," Eisly said evenly. A MiG-25 interceptor, presumably acting on instructions from the IL-76, was now searching for them. With its high power and small arc, the Foxfire stood a good chance of acquiring them, Stealth technology or not. "The Mainstay might have us."
"Anything locked on us?"
"Not yet." Eisly's eyes were glued to the threat-receiver instruments. No missile-control radars had centered on the Frisbee yet. "Coming under the target."
"Right. Climbing now." Ellington eased back on his stick and punched up full afterburners. The Frisbee's engines could only give him Mach 1.3, but this was the place to use all the power he had. According to the weather people, these clouds topped out at twenty thousand feet, and the IL-76 would be about five thousand above that. Now the Frisbee was vulnerable. No longer lost in the ground clutter, her engines radiating their maximum signature, the Stealth aircraft was broadcasting her presence. Climb faster, baby . . .
"Tallyho!" Ellington said too loudly over the intercom as he burst through the clouds, and the night-vision systems instantly showed him the Mainstay, five miles away and diving for cover in front of him. Too late. The head-on closing speed was nearly a thousand miles per hour. The colonel centered his gunsight pipper on the target. A warbling tone came into his headset: the Sidewinders' seekers had locked onto the target. His right thumb toggled the launch-enable switch, and his forefinger squeezed the trigger twice. The Sidewinders left the aircraft half a second apart. Their brilliant exhaust flames dazzled him, but he did not take his eyes off the missiles as they raced for the target. It took eight seconds. He looked them all the way in. Both missiles angled for the Mainstay's starboard wing. Thirty feet away, laser proximity fuses detonated, filling the air with lethal fragments. It happened too fast. Both of the Mainstay's right-side engines exploded, the wing came off, and the Soviet aircraft began cartwheeling violently downward, lost seconds later in the clouds.
Jesus! Ellington thought as he rolled and dived back to the ground and safety. Nothing like the movies. The target was hit and gone between blinks. Well, okay, that was easy enough. Primary target gone. Now for the hard part . . .
Aboard an E-3A Sentry circling over Strasbourg, the radar technicians noted with satisfaction that all five Soviet radar craft had been killed within two minutes: it all worked, the F-19 really did surprise them.
The brigadier general in command of Operation Dreamland leaned forward in his command chair and toggled his microphone.
"Trumpeter, Trumpeter, Trumpeter," he said
Amid the clouds of NATO tactical fighters hovering near the border, a hundred low-level attack fighters broke clear and dove for the ground. Half were F-111F Aardvarks, the other half "GR. I " Tornados, their wings heavy with fuel tanks and smart bombs. They followed the second wave of Frisbees, already sixty miles into East Germany, fanning out to their ground targets. Behind the strike aircraft, all-weather Eagle and Phantom interceptors, directed by the Sentries circling over the Rhein, began to launch their radar-guided missiles at Soviet fighters that had just lost their airborne controllers. Finally, a third team of NATO aircraft swooped in low, seeking out the ground radar sites that were coming on to replace the radar coverage of the dead Mainstays.
HOHENROARTHE, GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Ellington circled his target at a thousand feet, several miles away. It was a double bridge, a pair of concrete arches, each about five hundred yards across, and with two traffic lanes, that crossed the River Elbe in the middle of a gentle S-curve. Pretty bridges. Ellington guessed that they dated back to the thirties, since this main road from Berlin to Braunschweig had been one of the first autobahns. Ole Adolf himself might have driven across these bridges, Ellington reflected. So much the better.
At the moment, a low-light television in his targeting systems showed them to be covered with Russian T-80 tanks, all heading west. Ellington evaluated the picture on his television screen. This could only be the second echelon of the army deployed to attack NATO. There was an SA-6 battery atop Hill 76 south of the bridges on the east bank, sited there to defend them. It had to be fully alert now. His earphones chirped constantly with noise from his threat receiver as the search radars from a score of air-defense batteries swept continuously over his aircraft. If only one of them got a good return . . . Pucker factor, Ellington reflected grimly.
"How's the Pave Tack?"
"Nominal," Eisly responded curtly. Pilot and back-seater were both under enormous stress.
"Illuminate," Ellington ordered. In the back seat, Eisly activated the Pave Tack target-illumination laser.
The elaborate Pave Tack gear was built into the Frisbee's drooping nosecone. Its lowermost part was a rotating turret containing a carbondioxide laser and television camera. The major used his joystick controls to center the TV picture on the bridge, then unmasked the infrared laser. An invisible dot appeared in the center of the north span's bridge deck. A computer system would keep it there until told to do otherwise, and a videotape recorder would make a visual record of the raid's success or failure.
"The target is lit," Eisly said. "Still no fire-control radars on us."
"Nemo, this is Shade 4. The target is lit."
"Roge."
Fifteen seconds later the first Aardvark screamed south a bare thirty feet over the water, popped up, and loosed a single GBU-15 Paveway laser-guided bomb before it turned hard to the east over Hohenroarthe. An optical-computer system in the bomb's nose noted the deflected infrared beam, centered it, and adjusted the fins accordingly.
South of the bridge, the SAM battery commander was trying to decide what the noise was. His search radar did not show the Frisbee. He had been told not to expect the presence of "friendly" aircraft-the safe travel lane was fifteen miles to the north, over the Frontal Aviation base at Mahlminkel. Maybe that's where the noise was coming from, he thought. No special alarm has been sent out-
The northern horizon went bright yellow. Though he did not know it, four Luftwaffe Tornados had just made a single pass over Mahlminkel, leaving hundreds of explosive cluster munitions in their wake. A half-dozen Soviet Sukhoi attack fighters went up in flames, sending a fireball of jet fuel that rose up into the rain-filled sky.
The battery commander hesitated not at all-he shouted an order for his men to switch their fire-control radars from stand-by to active, and trace them around "their" bridges. A moment later, one detected an F-111 coming upriver.
"Oh, shit!" The Aardvark's systems operator instantly loosed a Shrike antiradar missile at the SAM battery, another for good measure at the search radar, a second Paveway at the bridge, then the F-111 turned violently left.
A missile-launch officer blanched as he realized what had just appeared from nowhere onto his scopes, and salvoed his three missiles in return. The incoming aircraft had to be hostile, and had just separated three smaller objects . . .
His first SAM struck and exploded on the high-tension power lines that spanned the river just south of the bridges.

BEIJING, June 26 (Reuters) - An aircraft about the size of a car crashed into Beijing's tallest building on Friday, witnesses told Reuters, with police closing off roads around the skyscraper and authorities giving no information about the incident.
The building, known as CITIC Tower or China Zun, is a 108-storey skyscraper in Beijing's central business district. It is the headquarters of the state-owned conglomerate CITIC Group.
There was a heavy police presence at the site, with some approach roads closed to cars.
Two glass panels on a high floor were damaged. There was no immediate official comment or response to a request for information sent to the city government outside business hours.
A courier standing among people who had gathered near the building said he had rushed over to CITIC Tower around 6 p.m. local time (1000 GMT) from a nearby location after hearing a loud crash as an aircraft about the size of a car hit it.
"It was so loud – louder than fireworks," he said.
POLICE ASK PEOPLE TO DELETE FOOTAGE OF INCIDENT
He shot a video of the aircraft sticking out of the building, he said, but later deleted it because he was scared of getting caught by police.
Police were preventing people from taking pictures and asking others to delete those they had taken while ushering people away from the building, with dozens of police cars and several fire trucks lining nearby roads.
Another courier said he had come to the scene after seeing unverified social media images showing the wreckage of a small aircraft on a road next to the building.
Social media posts of the building on Friday were quickly removed from Chinese social media. A search of the building's name on the Xiaohongshu app, or Red Note, returned only posts dated Thursday.
An office worker in a nearby building said she saw a blue tarp over a large object on the road at the side of the building the size of a VW Beetle from her office window at around 6:45 p.m.
"I was on my way down to dinner when someone said a plane had crashed into the next building. So we went to look out the window and saw police cars, ambulances and the blue tarp on the road," said the 39-year-old.
It was unclear if the crash was deliberate or accidental. Airspace is heavily restricted in downtown Beijing.
One of the bystanders at the scene told Reuters he heard the loud crash too, and that "it's very strange for a plane to fly into this area."
A police officer later told Reuters journalists to leave. Asked why, the officer said: "We all know why!"

I want you and the doctor
to witness this.
I'm removing the Political Offcer's
missile key and keeping it myself.
We should report this
to Red Fleet Command.
That's impossible.
Our orders are for radio silence.
- That's all, Loginov.
- This is most unnerving.
The reason for having two missile keys
is so that no one man may...
- May what?
- May arm the missiles.
- Perhaps I should keep the key.
- That'll be all, Doctor.
When I address the crew,
then you will understand.
Petrov, I will try to forget your

Thank you, sir.

FBI: No prime anthrax suspect
WASHINGTON — Months after anthrax-tainted letters apparently killed five people and sickened more than a dozen, the FBI said yesterday that its investigators do not have a prime suspect despite conducting hundreds of interviews.
The government was responding to a Washington Times report that the investigation was focusing on a single scientist who had worked at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., and had twice been fired from government jobs.
The newspaper quoted sources as saying the scientist had been interviewed by FBI agents on several occasions and his house had been searched.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said there were several suspects and that the FBI had not narrowed that list down to one.
"I wish it were that easy and that simple right now," he said. "That story, I think, was a little overreaching in saying there's just one."
Anti-terrorist fight to cost $30 billion, Defense says
WASHINGTON — The war in Afghanistan and Pentagon efforts to bolster security at home will cost a projected $30 billion this year, far more than Congress has provided, according to Defense Department documents.
The Defense Department estimate means that it believes it could need an additional $12.6 billion over the next seven months for its operations in the United States, Afghanistan or wherever it may be combating terrorists.
"If operations continue to accrue as experienced to date, available funding will be exhausted by April or May," the 50-page report says.
President Bush is expected to ask Congress for extra money.
"Before administration officials ask for billions of dollars in additional money this year, I expect them to tell Congress where we are headed in this war and what exit strategy is envisioned in Afghanistan," said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.
