Hayabusa and Pro-wrestling Accidents

A former popular pro-wrestler Hayabusa died at age of 47. He was too young to die. He didn't perform on the mat since 2001 because he got heavy injury when he was fighting in FMW ring. He fell down from the top of the rope bending his neck in the right angle. It was terrible accident. 

I really liked watching pro-wrestling, but I rarely watch their performances after the accident. Recent pro-wrestlers' are fighting too much danger in order to make audience excited. I like old-fashioned performance. I could enjoy watching ancient pro-wrestling matches. 

 More dangerous performance is "amateur" pro-wrestling. That's weird amateurs fighting like pro-wrestlers, but you can see that kind of performance everywhere in Japan. I don't like these pre-like performance. Even real pro-wrestlers often get injured, so something serious accident will happen in the future.

A light plane crashed into residential area in Chofu-city, Tokyo on Sunday morning. Three people were killed and five were injured. The incident occurred right after the plane had taken off at Chofu airport. The reason of the crush was not revealed. 

There are many small airports for light planes located near urban areas and Chofu airport is one of them. Some accounts have occurred in these areas. Small planes are convenient for some people, but we have to think about the location of small airports.

South Korea Ferry Disaster

A ferry carrying over 400 people, mostly high school students, sank near Jind island in Korea yesterday. One hundred people have been rescued but 300 passengers are still missing. The government is trying to rescue passengers but they have to fight against the severe conditions of the sea.
Why did this tragedy happen? It's still under investigation but some sources say their faulty repair are to blame. They added a one story cabin on the top of the ship after they purcahsed it from a ferry company in Japan. The vessel might have lost its balance due to the new constraction.
I don't know if it's true or not, the captain was rescued immediately without helping others but I hope the rescue team will save as many people as they can.
