I myself would be wondering what drove to make such a decision.

But hey, that's just me.

I feel more sorry for me, having to see the same comments on JT every time some geezer offs himself by train.

well I guess its original. why would you wana die by gas in the bathroom, brickets in the car, hanging in your bedroom, killing your family and then offing yourself or just plain old jumping off a platform when you can tumble 300kph into the darkness and surprise yourself.

lazarus0202...Agree completely. Anyone who feels more sorry for someone who was simply delayed for a couple of hours, than a man who felt so depressed that he jumped from a bullet train, is truly warped. How smug of BidDude and Sidwarwick are. Taking pot shots at a man driven to take his own life -- that's really impressive. My sincere condolences to this man's family.

Charcoal is cheaper, fewer are affected.

Sure hope this doesn't become the next great way to off yourself in Japan.

jerseyboy: Yes, my 2 hours lost in the train does not worth a human life but explain me why he had to share his reject for life with thousands of poeple who are just asking to go home after a hard day's work? We all have problems. The 1st hour you are sorry for the guy and his familly and in the 2nd hour, you are pissed off.

We might hear that the guy was next to the door when it suddenly opened.

My condolences to the man's family.. Why these people are doing this , dragging others life also into trouble...Why don't they select some private area for killing themselves..!!
