Man,
These horror stories are literally becoming a daily occurrence in 'Safety Japan.'
I wonder if this will be even reported in the national media or just swept under the carpet like most unpleasant issues tend to be over here.

Never really paid too much attention to these kinds of stories but gee they happen regularly, like on a weekly basis?
