Yet Another Metro Suicide
If you are an attention whore, the ultimate way to off yourself to gain the most attention is to commit gruesome spectacular suicide in front of bystanders, while also creating a massive inconvenience to thousands of people. It happens quite regularly in the DC Metro area- people jump off the Woodrow Wilson bridge during rush hour, and several people like to jump in front of the Metro Trains, stalling subway traffic for hours.
From WTOP here:
Green and Yellow line trains are single tracking between Mt Vernon Sq and Archives with delays in both directions due to a person struck by train at Gallery Place.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:00 a.m. when an adult male placed himself in the path of an arriving northbound train. The incident appears to be intentional.
Customers should expect delays in both directions on Green & Yellow Line. Yellow Line customers in Virginia should consider using Blue Line as alternate.
The surest way to ensure everyone hates you and whatever your life stood for is to cause a traffic delay in the DC area during rush hour. That’s why no one bothers to post the names of suicide victims who dive under Metro trains.

This has become such an epidemic in NYC that the MTA is now trying to figure out ways to alert the trains that there is a person on the tracks. It frustrates me so much that people are choosing to die by public transportation. SO INCONSIDERATE.
Yesterday a woman fainted and fell on the tracks and was run over by a train. Can you imagine if there’s an afterlife and waking up from the faint and wondering what the hell just happened? I would be pretty pissed.

You know an obvious solution would be to put a big red emergency button on the platform that someone could push in case someone jumps or falls onto the tracks. If only New Yorkers could resist abusing that button for kicks…
