Office workers take part in an emergency aid drill using dummies at Roppongi Hills on Monday morning for National Disaster Prevention Day. About 250 employees joined the training with instructions by police and the fire department. Some 1,300 employees in the area will conduct internal emergency drills at their offices.

    These things make me cringe but my first reaction is not as important as the drills, great way to unite and attempt to be be prepared. Should be done regularly, much more regularly.

    Can't see any office workers, just lots of fire and other emergency staff in nice, colour co-oordinated uniforms.

    Unless of course yellow trimmed with red is the new uniform of the Roppongi Hills Bankers?

    Noone from Goldman Sachs there, they would have lost about 50 billion yenz in lost revenue just by showing up.

    Fools!

    The first lesson of emergency aid is to write off the redshirts.

    speaking out my opinion : -

    The picture clearly shows that the Japanese Government have begun taking steps to prepare it's citizen to face a new natural disaster and a new war with Russia and North Korea.

    "Hey, this dummy's not responding!!!"

    And the two guys in the background are treating this as some sort of amusing lark, chuckling to themselves no doubt about the thought of administering mouth-to-mouth to a male mannequin.
