By now, some of you surfing the net will know that on Sunday a 25-year old rented a small truck and rammed it into a busy Akihabara intersection before attacking several people there with survival knives.
I was just one station north of that area, in Okachimachi (Ameyoko) but I had thought of dropping in Akihabara that day but got a late start (leaving the house after 1 PM, long after the incident had played out) and went straight up to Ameyoko.
I know the kind of crowds that gather on weekends in Akihabara and it surprises me little that the suspect chose that day. I feel terrible for the visitors among the dead who probably had no idea that this was coming.
Perhaps there will be a greater police presence and there may some kind of crackdowns, but this could happen again at any other station and without warning, so one needs to always be prepared ....
