I was in class in one of the Hibbs lecture halls, and we saw a bunch of students in the hallway running towards the windows facing north. My professor poked his head out and said, “Oh wow! That new building on Broad St is on fire!”

We started to get up to see and he said, “oh, don’t worry, it’ll still be on fire when class is over.” And finished the lecture. It was indeed still very much on fire when class was over 30 minutes later.

My now-husband has picture of him and his roommate watching the fire from the roof of their apartment on W Grace. Might make him pull those up if we can find the hard drive.

Consider that the countries you referenced might not have the same (perhaps overly-) robust protections for the individual liberties of the mentally ill. If a schizophrenic person wants to remain unmedicated and living under a bridge, there’s very little that can be done to force them to assimilate to live like a ‘normal’ person or be permanently institutionalized. That’s not the case in Japan.
