japan is a ridiculous place, but a train delay is logistically a whole problem theoretically affecting 10s of millions of people as it cascades.
this is a televised american football game of two trash teams where the broadcaster forces play to stop routinely for +15 "TV timeouts" so the folks at home to be told about a new type of bacon flavored toothpaste. the end time of an american football game has like 30-45 minutes of flex to it. there is no logistical problem with taking a delay. it is entirely a strategy to paper over it and diminish how much of a screw up it was. that dude free fell the entire height of the stadium. he didn't slip the last 20 feet and land bad, but i guarantee any mention of it will frame it that way. lots of emphasis that he didn't die on the field immediately, but instead was pronounced dead later at a facility. the way disney does when somebody gets killed at one of their theme parks.
