Akihabara Incident one-year anniversary

08.06.2009 by Adrian A. Lozano

Today marked the first year anniversary of the Akihabara stabbing incident leaving the intersection where everything happened flooded with news casters and cameramen. If it had not been for the events that happened a year ago, Sunday would have been a perfect day to have enjoyed the walkers paradise. Unfortunately that era of Akihabara's innocence has long since ended.



Camera crews were set up on all four corners of the intersection since Sunday, taking footage for Monday night news casts.



By early Monday morning the news media had taken over the Sofmap corner of the intersection where the memorial service would take place later in the afternoon.



Prior to the memorial service another location was set up across the way where local and government officials took part in additional services.
