When you are in intense painful agony. You don't want to die, but you are desperate for the pain and suffering to stop, whether mentally, physically, or both. Generally, emotional pain induces genuine physical pain. This is why we should think before we speak or write because sometimes, a tiny little cut, even if it appears to seem harmless or miniscule or trivial, into a deep pre-existing wound, is enough to drive a person to the edge.
Yes, I realize this. My own cousin placed his service revolver to his head and pulled the trigger. It has left the family with more questions than answers. His parents have beaten themselves up wondering what they said or did. His suicide has impacted the family in ways unimaginable.
I think you have that backwards. Very frustrating when you have things to do at work, and can't get there because of some miserable, inconsiderate moron. At least it's something they can only do once.
I guess that depends on whether you'd rather be at work or at home. The old live to work or work to live question.
We had a co-worker at my old job who did this. He was only 25 and an only child. He got drunk at our office party and was saying things out of his character. I had already left when the situation got out of hand. They took his keys offered to drive him home etc... it got so bad that 3 guys from the office had to restrain him. They called him a cab he was dropped off at this bar by the Baldwin train station and proceeded to have 2 more drinks. The bartender should have known he was drunk and refuse to serve him. The point is he got on the train platform and was going to go one stop and then walk home, instead he jumped and the train hit him. This was in 2003. I still remember how I felt.
It's a fairly well known "secret" that there's a suicide on the NYC subway every two weeks on average. In fact, most times one hears that a subway train is being held due to a customer illness, that's code for suicide.
I think the frequency for the railroads (LIRR and Metro North) is not that different.
It's frustrating either way if you're on a train that strikes a person. It's one of the problems with the LIRR, and probably other railroads.
suicide by train happens all over the country, you just don't hear about it. Many are on freight railroads with no passengers, some with Amtrak. You have the ones that step out in front of the train, and you have the ones that are in their car and wait for the train and then pull out in front of them. 50 mph freight trains vs cars or people.
