Nothing to do with luck Nandakanda, all to do with young men, fast cars, and driving like an idiot. Speeding boys again ... I do agree with you though, such an incredible waste of 2 young lives. Very very sad indeed.

kimuzukashii, when I was that age I sometimes drove a fast car like an idiot. Looking back on it, luck (or some other power) seems to be the only explanation for my survival. Doubly sorry for the passenger, who could even have been asleep and quite innocent.

JT:

Could there be a typo at the location of the accident?

In Japanese news, the place is at 阿見町 ... or are these separate accidents?

Moderator: Yes, it was a typo and has been fixed.
