News about public safety incidents, especially during festive times, are generally handled very seriously in Japan. Ensuring safety during public gatherings and events is a top priority for Japanese society, and such a disruption is a source of great concern. The government, along with media, would emphasize on investigating the cause and taking preventive measures to avoid such incidents in the future.

In the United States or European Union, similar incidents also evoke serious responses. There would be a thorough investigation with updates being regularly relayed to the public via press conferences and updates from law enforcement agencies. The media usually covers extensive reporting on the safety measures and repercussions.
