RE: And Yet Another Train Incident

I don't like to refer to cases like these as train incidents. I think of them as "stupid people incidents". It's more appropriate since the train didn't just jump off the tracks and hit the woman.

From reading the above article I can't help but wonder if this is an attempted suicide. Sad if it is.

I guess, when New Year's resolutions fail, it's time to go dumb and get killed by a train. Really weird, have had like 10 news-making accidents already this year.Joe LeMay
