Quake-hit airport reopens to commercial flights

Travelers pick up baggage outside the Kumamoto airport terminal building, which was damaged by earthquakes, on April 19, 2016. The airport reopened to commercial flights on the day for the first time since April 16. Problems with the baggage handling system, however, prevented passengers from departing on outbound aircraft.

        Photo taken Sept. 28, 2016, shows two pieces of shock-absorbing rubber beneath a vibration control system called a Tuned Mass Damper, or TMD, installed on top of the Shinjuku Nomura Building in Tokyo. The rubber, installed at the four corners of the system, can alleviate shaking, especially that caused by winds and smaller quakes. The linear slider (black parts at its center) work to absorb tremors caused by bigger earthquakes. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
