I was very shocked to see this accident yesterday! I pray for the victims and their families, and that the rescue workers will be able to help find anyone the can.
At first, I thought that the collapse of the bridge could have been terrorism. It doesn't seem like that at this time, and I'm relieved to know that terrorists didn't blow up the bridge.
But, when I think about it, there are 40-year-old bridges around here in Japan, and I hope that the local and national government is taking good care of them, so that this kind of incident does not happen here. Knowing the scandals here in recent years (姉歯, 日本道路公団) it does not make me think that the possibility of the same thing happening in Japan is zero.
