Two Japanese Killed and
Seven Injured In Bizarre
Express Train Accident
TOKYO m — A severed human
f«K>t crashed through the window
pane of a speeding Japanese ex
press train Friday night, causing
the death of one passenger and
injuring seven others.
Authorities gave this account of
the accident, believed to be the
wierdest in Japan's rail history:
Waitress Tokiko Ishikawa, in the
diner of an express headed from
Osaka to Tokyo, said she saw a
man of about 22 suddenly lunge
through a window of the speeding
train. He left his sandals behind
in Japanese suicide tradition.
Meanwhile, another express
train passed in the opposite di
rection and the impact apparently
catapulted the truncated foot thru
the window of the second train.
The flying limb struck Shinza
buro Tanabe, 38-vear-old tax of
ficial and he later died of a
smashed liver. Seven other pas
sengers were cut by flying glass.
There are more $20 bills in cir
culation today than there were
$10 bills two decades ago.
