Amagasaki Train Accident

On a sober note - the accident at Amagasaki was a terrible disaster - my condolences to family members of all who lost their lives.

I travel from JR Osaka to Itami stations quite often - passing through Amagasaki. I have always admired the dilligence with which most JR drivers operate - their manners and devotion is quite different from the staff you see in public transits in USA. However, it seems that all is not as it seems - corporate greed and cutting corners on quality and safety is being imported into Japan from USA, just like layoffs, outsourcing and other things.
