Suicide Inconveniences 14,000

How thoughtless people can be sometimes!

They can't just take their lives quietly. Nope…gotta go out with a bang. Get some attention. Cause a ruckus….even though won't be around to see it for themselves.

All hope lost or perhaps he just leaked something from his computer, a man jumped in front of an oncoming train at a railway station in downtown Tokyo in mid-morning.

Police say it was a rapid service train….they go faster than the local, stop at every station trains. I guess it means he will died faster, too.

Interestingly…instead of reporting on who the guy was, whether or not there was a suicide note and such….oh, and did he take off his shoes before

he jumped…express.train%2Cjapan.jpg someone calculated that he 'incovenienced' some 14,000 passengers for 30 minutes while 21 trains were delayed.

30 minutes? That's all it takes to clean up body parts from a track? Seems rather quick to me. But then, the Japanese are an efficient bunch.
