The Week Ahead: Bay Area Concerts 11/23 - 11/29
Following on the heels of this week's Caltrain suicides, "a pedestrian was struck and killed by an Amtrak train in Berkeley Thursday morning, the third person to be struck by a train in the Bay Area in a 24-hour period.," according to CBS 5. Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said that the unidentified male intentionally jumped out in front of the southbound train heading to Oakland near the Grayson Street crossing. On Wednesday night, just a few hours prior to the Amtrak death, a man hurled himself "into the side of a moving Caltrain at the Menlo Park station." He is expected to live. The Amtrak victim, however, died at the scene.

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Don't mean to sound insensitive but it's better than them taking other people with them.
Murder-suicides are so last April.
They may not be taking anyone with them, but the poor person driving the train will have to live with that forever - not to mention the trauma and inconvenience to everyone on the train. Why not take a fistful of pills and just go nitey-nite permanently? Seriously, I don't mean to sound insensitive, either, but if you really want to kill yourself, why involve other people at all?
are you kidding? if i drove a train i'm sure i would be thinking of outside people as cattle by the time it came to give a shit.
And that's why you're not driving the train.
And that's why you're not driving the train.
Maybe if the media stopped giving them so much damn publicity, there would be fewer copycats.
Brock is media. I think the train-suicide fascination around here is a little bit unhelpful.
Caltrain delays can be reported as just that.
Guns don't kill people, trains do. Not until we ban all trains these senseless murders will continue to take place. You have been warned.
Get people back into their cars already!
