Public education needs to change. Government encourage people who drink to take public transport, and this is what happened.Originally posted by ^tamago^:i wonder if we need to be more vigilant........... one death too many.... -

Thats why I dun believe. I only believe that I stand at least 2 meters away from the yellow line when trains coming. I dun need a good seat. All I needs is only a small standing space will do.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:san gu liu po de hua ke yi xiang xin?

hmm i tot he jumped cos of a girl..Originally posted by ^tamago^:UPDATE: According to a local source in HWZ, the person is said to be a local indian national, was believed to be drunk when he fell into the track and was sliced into 3 pieces by the impact, which explains the complexity of the clean-up operation. -
tat we can't confirm. we dun even noe for sure if it was a suicide or accident now.Originally posted by shinta:hmm i tot he jumped cos of a girl.. -
I got word from my sources the guy collapse and fell into the oncoming train. So it wasn't deliberate. Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
-
My sources said he walked into an oncoming train, or should i say, the train happened to cross into his path. Whatever.

I guess cynthia phua now has sufficient justification to erect barriers at the cost of a fare hike.

Second man hit by train in four days
Wednesday • December 6, 2006
ABOUT 21,000 commuters were held up yesterday morning when a man was hit by a train at Yishun station. According to the police, the deceased was an Indian man. He had fallen onto the tracks of the south-bound train around 6.50 am. Train service resumed about an hour later, at 8am.
In its statement, SMRT said south-bound trains were turned around at Sembawang station and some north-bound trains were turned around at Yishun station. Passengers who were affected were travelling from Sembawang to Yishun. Ms Shaliha Rashid, a webmaster who was travelling to work from Woodlands station, was one of them. She told 938LIVE: "I had to wait for 10 minutes before the train services returned to normal but, at every station, the train stopped for two to three minutes before moving off."
SMRT said passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption could claim a full fare refund from the passenger service centre in any of its 51 SMRT stations, over the next three working days. Police have classified the case as unnatural death. Investigations are ongoing.
This is the second such case in a week. Last Saturday, the south-bound train service was disrupted when a man, believed to be a Chinese man in his mid-20s, was hit by a train at Admiralty station. Some 6,000 passengers were affected by the incident.

Perhaps trains should be blasting their farking horns from now on, when entering stations. So people on the verge suicide, or those whom can't bloody stand behind the farking yellow-line, can wake-up their farking ideas before something happens.

1. noisy
2. those who happen on the verge will tio shocked and lose their balance by the deafening sound and fall down. -
Coming from personal experience, sometimes people does have to be shocked into logical thinking when attempting something stupid. A little wake-up call on whatever their planning on doing ain't worth it.Originally posted by ^tamago^:2. those who happen on the verge will tio shocked and lose their balance by the deafening sound and fall down. -
SMRT should show everyone the CCTV video leh, like that more transparent mah.

Something interesting through Google..., interesting news article, recommend for reference...
STOPPING THE SUICIDE TRAIN
http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2004-04-15/news_feature.php
Torontonians know little about subway suicides because, as a rule, the media, police and TTC do not publicize the tragedies. But Ontario Coroner's figures suggest there have been between eight and 22 subterranean suicides in the past four years. Less known but more alarming are the number of failed attempts.
...
Every day, Wayne Moore hopes it won't happen again. In his 28 years as a TTC subway operator, he's been involved in 13 subway suicides. In 1999 alone, three people were crushed by Moore's train. While the first incident involved a man who fell to the track after suffering a heart attack, the second and third were suicides, leaving Moore so badly shaken he needed muscle relaxants to sleep. "But other drivers have had it worse," he says. "Some have seen as many as 25 or 26 suicides in a 30-year career."
...
Although the exact number is unclear, Bruce Bryer, a TTC ticket agent for 23 years, says that on average one person jumps every week. "Something needs to be done, because we can't ignore it any longer," he says.
...
Canada isn't alone in being worried about this issue. A 2002 study on railway safety in England found that about 200 people commit suicide annually on the country's railways, costing the industry approximately £300 million a year, including 2,000 days off a year for staff suffering from trauma-related sickness.
TTC chair Howard Moscoe doesn't want to sound insensitive, but says $6 million is too much money – money the TTC doesn't have – to consider the proposal seriously.
Moscoe says he's not against experimenting. "If they find the barriers workable and successful, then we can look into investing more over time," he says.
Wiki
Another interesting trend related to train suicide is to wear a brightly colored cap (orange) to help shield your face. This is done out of concern for the train conductors, so that they may not be caused any trauma by seeing the face of the person about to be hit. It is also useful as a sign that the person is indeed intending to commit suicide, and that no one should risk their life in order to save them.
The costs to the surving families by the railway companies' "delay fee" is often in the 100 million yen (approx. 850 thousand U.S. Dollars) range. -

Mind you, this is no pure accident. The man might have gone to drink because of depression, family or financial problems...Originally posted by dragg:so this is no suicide but an accident.
as you know, drinking makes you sadder and the sadder you are the more you drink. The more you drink, the sadder you are...
Then, i believed he is still in a consious state of mind, except drinking makes him braver in committing the suicide. -
