Tokyo Train Accident

On the way home from Akihabara today, there was an announcement in the station - a person got hit by a train. One hears these announcements from time to time so I didn't think much of it. A few minutes later however, I saw a person being mopped off the train tracks...

It was only last July when the train I was on actually hit somebody (wrote about it here) but luckily didn't see anything.

99% of these cases are of people jumping in the tracks and most of the jumping happens before or after work - it was about 5 in the evening.
Below: I look out the window and see yellow tape keeping the other passengers out of the way.

Below: I walk down the carriage and see that the windows are open and there are a bunch of spectators. Below: Move towards the window to see the rescue team rescuing....the left overs. Below: Some bits of the jumper is in the red buckets. Below: And the rest of the person is behind the green sheets used to hide the mess. The amount of blood on the tracks was horrific. It was a dark cloudy afternoon and one could see the rain falling in the huge pool of blood. Looked more like a small lake as it was mixed with water that the rescue team used to wash away the blood. That moment in time didn't seem real. Took some footage of the rescue team below - no blood/only 18 seconds. The JR Yamanote line resumed service after about 20 mins.

I guess theres not much point asking in the polls "have you died before?" so I guess it will be "have you been in a serious accident before?"

The worse accidents that I've been through have been falls from skiing or roller blading - all three times involving injury to me legs/knees/ankles that left me limping for months ToT - and they all happened since I arrived in Japan ^^;
