Obviously they must be aware of the problem by now. There is no reason for this to ever happen again. That’s very sad. Obviously they must be aware of the problem by now.

It appears both of the guys ignored this fundamental & basic safety procedure.

I see all news agencies covering stories like the woman who gave birth to octuplets, what people wore to award show X, attractive white missing girl of the month, or what raucous thing celebrity A did last night. And then there's the trusty classics like "water-skiing squirrel" and "skateboarding dog." Though I'll agree that it's fun when reporters feel the need to break out the props--something the Japanese seem to excel at. As opposed to what other news source?

Don't they have more important news to cover? I suppose they're too busy squashing their reporters with cardboard boxes and making 18cm grips to care. Lol, Japanese news kills me.
