"garment girls" ? nice respectable reference to a group of people who toils to bring in dollars so that politicos and unproductive professional can import duty free goodies

Typical Sri Lankan crowd. In advanced countries the public are not allowed to get close to any accident. Its left to law enforcement and Emergency Medical teams to get about their work without hindrance from what are called lookie loos.
