Asia Pacific Media Network :: The great corporate escape: Blame it on the factotums and avoid responsibility JR West's initial reports had the Fukuchiyama Line train hitting an automobile, and even at the time when the conductors supposedly left for their bowling jaunt the company had not acknowledged the seriousness of the accident. Not until it lost a civil suit over the accident in 2002 did JR West admit that it failed to inform SKR before the day of the tragedy that it was going to operate a special train for a local festival on a stretch of track it sometimes shared with SKR. What this supposed callousness really clarifies is JR West's dysfunctional culture, which, since the Japan National Railways were privatized in the 1980s, has become that of a corporation which stresses profits at the expense of safety. www.asiamedia.ucla.edu /article.asp?parentid=24356
