Accident with Casualty

Jinshinjiko means accident with casualty, and mostly used in suisidal accidents on railroad.

Today, the train I commut with daily stopped suddenly right before a station. The crew member calmly announced: "Jinshinjiko".
There was a minor disturb among the passenger, the calm resumed. After a while, sirent could be heard. Soon a fire engine were visible.
Everybody waited patiently in the car, in silence. There were announcement of progress once or twice.
About eighteen mintes later(per the apology of 18m delay by the staff), the train started moving again.
Japanese are so used to suisids now. Stress is there daily company. Maby it is simply natual for them to see others to end stress and life all together this way. Amen.
