IAEA Chief Fears Middle East Might Be More Dangerous Than Liepāja Tram During Fare Inspection
While international experts worry about nuclear safety, we in Liepāja have been living for years with the thought that something could explode at any moment.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi has announced that he is anxiously following military developments in the Middle East and nuclear safety risks. So what? We Liepāja residents have been living for years with the awareness that our tram could decide at any moment to depart for eternity along with its passengers.
Grossi warns of possible radiological leaks and the need to evacuate territories larger than major cities. Interesting - has he seen our Karosta in winter? It already looks like some catastrophe has occurred, but actually it just means it's January and very windy. Maybe he should come to Liepāja and see how people live with constant threats from natural forces.
As local vendor Jānis Bērziņš said: "Well look, they're afraid of some radiation over there, but here we have to fight every day with whether the tram will be delayed by just five minutes or a whole hour." Indeed, priorities are clear.
Meanwhile in Riga they probably don't even know what the IAEA is, but then again they don't have to live with the constant challenge that your public transport might decide at any moment that today it's taking a day off from work duties. We Liepāja residents have long been ready for any unpredictable scenarios.
