This guy was never on MARTA the night he was injured. He jumped off a bridge onto a moving CSX train.

I hope MARTA sues him or his family for defamation or they get charges for filling false charges, this is BS.

I'd heard a rumor about this early on.

His nickname is "007"?

I would appreciate seeing a mea culpa or an apology from the forum member who posted the orginal thread on this story that we all know about back when it was a fresh & puzzling news item. The thread title turns out to particularly have been wrong.
As we all know, that particular forum member has a severely anti-MARTA grudge that he uses his forum membership to propel forward.
Personal accountability for errors in public & private statements is a really big deal, imho & generally-speaking I'd like to see more ownership taken when a statement or claim is proven to be a a mistatement.

Those whom are anti-transit will never acknowledge their errors because of their hubris...

Remove the 7 and you've got it right.

So basically, this dude was drunk and or high and decided to jump on to the moving train. The only other option if he wasn't is that he is stupid, then again, heavy drug or alcohol use is a characteristic of stupid person.

On a side note, I love how his mom thought leaning on certain peoples idiotic fear of MARTA and the creation of mystery suspects based on stereotypes would get them sympathy. Meanwhile back in reality, this idiot thought parkouring off a bridge on to a moving train would work just like it does in the movies. SMH
