From Aug. 11 to 13, 17 people have been killed (毎日新聞記事) when they enjoy their Obon holidays in sea or pools. It's funny how people are ignorant of the gravity of carelessnes until they are hit directly by the results. While only bad news, scandals etc. can be heard in the media, I always consider the report of accidents such as traffic or drowning type should have some educational effects on people. It would be interesting to study the difference in accident rate between frequent report environment and none at all. One possibility though is that people get so used to the news that they always consider them something far away from themselves, untill it happens to them or right nearby.
