I’m not sure if it’s a quirk of the culture in general. I think it’s more pleasing that there’s great transparency which allows the world to learn from mistakes.
The Japanese proverb for it is: "Kusai ni futa wo shire" - if there's a stink, put a lid over it.
I have never heard this in nearly the same frequency or predictability from members of any other culture. It's almost cute in how revealing it is when you hit their weak spot.

What's actually revealing is how you were quick to assume my nationality and spit out racist insults.
And it's 100% Japanese culture that creates these types of dangerous accidents. South Korea has them too, because they culturally so close (confucianism and remnants of feudalism being at the core of the problem).
