I know i'm quite visible in the reflection. That was intentional. I wanted a straight-on view of the plaque so i could transcribe it easily: MEMORIAL MONUMENT July, 1967 On a clear day at 2:18 pm on 5th March, 1966 a British Boeing 707 passenger jet airliner was flying over Tarobo on Mt. Fuji at an altitude of approximately 4000 meters when it met with a sudden terrible accident whereby it broke up in flight. Fragments of the aircraft were scattered over 2 square kilometres and all 124 persons on board were killed. This monument was created to perpetuate the memory of these 124 people who died with the fervent prayer that such a tragedy will occur never again.
