7 years ago yesterday.
I was in the chemistry class of my high school, and our teacher told us that it seemed like a big rail accident just occurred in Amagasaki, where is not so far from our place. As soon as I got home, I turned on my TV and what I saw was just like one scene from a movie - a lot of ambulances & police cars, rescue workers with helmets carrying numbers of injured people, and hundreds of people just standing and watching what's going on. And, just among them, there was something like a huge train car which was crushed flat like a piece of paper and winding around a nearby building. It made me feel like I was dreaming.
Who expected that I would start working for the company that caused this dreadful accident?
I am pretty satisfied with and proud of my current job, but at the same time, even though I'm not a driver, I feel some kind of responsibility of our service that can sometimes threaten people's lives. Every morning at the meeting, we pray for the victims, and I think of them. It really hurts me that some scandals by employees are still happening against the bereaved families' wishes. Yesterday, I headed to the crash site, and prayed for those who lost their lives and had to give up their dreams. Also, I thought about why I dared to choose this company and what I can do now for them.
We must not forget the fact that many people still cannot even ride a train because of the fear from the accident.
But we also must not forget that, there are also many people who are trying their best to overcome their sorrow, and they are waiting for the day to come when they can use our service in the near future, without any fear.
