This afternoon, when I was cycling on Lions' Gate Bridge, I happened to see a traffic accident including three cars. Fortunately there was no injury, but the traffic was completely jammed for a while. This time I couldn't watch the exact moment of the crash, but I have once watched the scene in Japan. I remember it just like a slow motion video. I know that when cars crash, they look like cardboard boxes and make a noize just like cardboard box crash. And the front glass is broken into thousands of grains which splash like fountain. It is of course misery, but a little bit beautiful.
