crank47 Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 A friend of mine's father used to work for Metro. He said there are suicides/jumpers all the time, but they generally try to keep it quiet whenever possible. Usually they just do that train delayed due to sick passenger or broken train excuse.

candeo Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Yeah. That seriously happens all the time.It's really sad. It's really sad when anybody kills themself, but I guess the rail-jumpers are trying to affect as many people as possible with their final shi-bang.

funkyfreshdc Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Originally posted by candeo I guess the rail-jumpers are trying to affect as many people as possible with their final shi-bang. i have no sympathy. if they're gonna act that inconsiderate and selfish toward not only the train driver but the thousands of people who have places to be, then they really should do society a favor and DIE. have a nice day!
