There was a bad car accident yesterday evening at Lauttasaari, involving two Espoo buses, a lorry and a van on Länsiväylä. Some 30 people were injured, at least three of them seriously. We heard all the zillions of ambulance, fire brigade trucks and police vehicles trying to get to the spot of the accident. The traffic out west was blocked for hours, and cars were sent through Lauttasaari, honking their horns outside our window, and getting impatient.
Most people seem to take pictures only at their holidays, and at birthdays and when someone marries. That makes for an odd archive of your life, doesn't it? Likewise most news, and a huge portion of blogs focuses on accidents and large disasters. No, i don't think we should pretend there aren't problems, but this hung-uppedness of the tragedy of life makes for a very odd archive of our lives, doesn't it?
