A tragic incident. The stories, text messages and footage coming out of the whole thing are heart-rending.
I am loathe to criticise, because tragedy rooted in poor safety procedures and inadequate emergency services can and does happen even in very wealthy countries.
At the same time, the in-group focus of the Confucian familial system means far more attention is paid to things like personal health rather than public safety. But as I always tell anyone who will listen, what good is your health if you die in an accident? (And it concerns way more basic things than major accidents like this; don't get me started on things like food, pedestrian and road safety).
The priorities are askew, though you have to remember it's far easier to see the contradictions in a system when you haven't grown up within it. (As a point of illustration, just imagine how dumb Australians building houses in bushfire-prone areas must seem as the footage is shown across the world season after season). _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.
