      RIP,what an awful way to go. Why put trainees in 12m deep underground ? Sounds like a risky process which experienced workers should handle.
      Prolly a ‘black kigyou’ with lax osha measures.Must come with severe punishments but wouldn’t hold my breath

      So many unknowns. Was there a language barrier? Did someone take safety shortcuts? Could the accident be prevented if all the workers were Japanese veterans?
      I suppose we’ll know soon enough

      The amount of people being thrown into jobs they weren’t supposed to be doing is alarmingly “there’s something deeply wrong in the hiring and companies system feeding from this business and no one is actually doing something about it because there are bigger interests from bigger fishes who have big friendships with big politicians”. Or something around those lines.

      Drowning in cement is a terrible way to die.

      And how do they reclaim the bodies and then clean them up for the family？

      Poor bastards.

      Kind of like when Vietnamese trainees were allegedly misled into cleanup work related to Fukushima. Exploiting poor foreign workers has always been easier.

      The fact that this tragedy not even being on main pages , not having the fraction of coverage of the crappy baseball coach slapping his daughter , shows the real journalism is dead in this country
