If someone attempts to die by being run over by a plane and succeeds, maybe we'll have less suicide cases.

It is not known which platform someone has fell onto the track. If it is confirmed at later that it is on either westbound or eastbound platform, then it could be due to raining that has wet the floor on the platform edge. But if it's on middle platform, it is highly possible that it may be yet another suicide case.

Woman faints onto train track

A YOUNG woman fainted and fell onto the train tracks at Jurong East MRT station yesterday, just before a train drew into the station.
But some quick thinking by another commuter and an SMRT employee prevented what could have become another train-related tragedy.
The North-South-line train was pulling into the station at about 7pm when the woman, a Chinese in her 20s, fell onto the tracks.
Fortunately, another commuter on the platform was quick to react and activated the emergency stop plunger, and an SMRT employee, who was patrolling the platform, called for assistance, an SMRT spokesperson said.
The incoming train came to a halt just a few metres away from the woman, after which about three people climbed down to the tracks to lift her onto the platform, Mr Benny Tan, 43, told Today.
The police were called in and the woman, who suffered lacerations on her head, was taken to the National University Hospital. By then, she had regained consciousness.
Eyewitnesses said the woman, who had golden streaks in her hair, had looked pale and had passed out without warning and fallen onto the tracks.
Mr Lim Boon Liak, 37, said he heard a loud thud, followed by screams from those at the scene.
An SMRT spokesperson said the train service at Jurong East was disrupted for five minutes.
Mr Tan observed that the first-aid procedures at the station could be improved.
"They could have paged for anyone who's a doctor to render first-aid immediately, instead of just telling us that help was on the way," he said.
"The SMRT staff were speaking on their walkie-talkies and trying to control the crowd. But one good Samaritan who had helped her up tended to her."
There are no safety barriers at the station, which was packed with commuters and was wet and slippery due to the weather, Mr Tan added.
"(SMRT) should put up safety barriers. It is not merely an issue of cost. After all, so much was spent to build the entire MRT line. Every life saved is important," he said. -
all thanks to the commuter and the mrt personnel who saved her life.
well done!!! -
I saw the SCDF people. They couldn't find the victim in the MRT station until someone said platform area. It took about 20 minutes just to find the victim.Originally posted by ^tamago^:someone fell into the tracks at Jurong East half an hour ago but was rescued. train services were momentarily disrupted for a few minutes but have since resumed.
Who wants more info?
Train services-wise ah... like not badly affected. Apparently only 2 Do Not Board trains were going back to Ulu Pandan Depot.
(was your event during evening peak rush-hour?) -

some people believe in the right to free diffusion of information to the public when there is some public interest involved.
I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, but not many Singaporeans can understand this concept of guerilla media diffusion. -
20 years old with gold streaks of hair.....chio or not ah?
