Two of our technicians were killed when a trailer rammed into them in the wee hours of the morning -- they were carrying out some work on the side of the road and their van was parked behind them (reports in Wan Bao today). For reasons that only the trailer driver will know, the trailer rammed into the van and the van smashed onto the two technicians. Although I do not know them well, I have bumped into them on and off in the 2-3 years I was in their section. I never thought that one could get killed in my line of job (even in operations), but risks are everywhere, so it appears on hindsight. In this instance, after pondering over, this was really unfortunate and could have been avoided if not for negligence on the trailer driver's part.
I am deeply saddened by this and felt a deep pain throughout the day especially thinking about their last moments and how their families reacted when they heard the news.
Condolences to their families and may they rest in peace.

Oh dear, my condolences to the families of the 2 technicians.
Is there a review of the safety procedures to prevent such an accident from happening again?
I may not know our fellow colleagues, but my thoughts are with their loved ones. A tragic waste of lives.
