Silly comments don't provide answers to questions that actually have no answer. Just hope the lady who was injured makes a full recovery, and that she isn't fearful for her safety in the future.

After living in Japan for over 24 years I am now beginning to do something I have not done in a long time, developing my street smarts and watching what's going around me.
