The Woman Who Stopped the Bullet Train

In 1972, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, a famous Japanese actress and UNICEF ambassador, once halted the bullet train over a bear. She had spotted a bear cub tangled in the tunnel gates and persuaded authorities to stop the train, saving the cub. This act of compassion later led to public discourse on wildlife preservation and train safety in Japan.
