Surely there are much easier ways of taking your life that don't cause others more misery than the actual deed itself.

The link provides no information about the motivation for his suicide, blaming the current state of the financial markets is pure speculation.
But it wouldn't be newsworthy if it simply said depressed bloke steps in front of train would it.... needed to have a topical edge to it.Vesuvius 996 said:

Aside from the personal issues here, it is a very selfish way to kill yourself. If you're a driver or passenger who has to deal with the sight of someone who's been hit by a train, it's not something you can forget easily.
A man local to me threw himself in front of a train the day he was due to be charged for having indecent pictures of children. What was left of his body was dragged right down the line for a few hundred metres of line, which ironically backed onto the gardens of many local children.

nt you areI admit I may have misread the part about personal finacial pressures, not making losses for his clients, but I put 2 and 2 together and thought this may be related. so appologise there.
But if I ever decided to take my own life, I would wish to do it with the least distress to my family. I.e. jumping off a high bridge, in the middle of no where, not doing it so it makes the headlines, so my family is always known has the dad who jumped in front of the train.
There is the train driver that will have to deal with this, plus thousands of people on a train, knowing they were on the train that killed someone, plus the fact that the station will be closed for about 2 hours.
I understand that when the time takes you to this level, you may not give a st anyone, just I cannot understand why people see a train as the best way to do this stuff.

Because it's very very effective.I'm sre i read somewhere that quite often, a driver will not actually know they've hit someone, obviously the traindoesnt "jolt" on the impact, and the shape of an express train can mean the mess spreads across the front of the train rather than going ove the drivers screen.... I hope that;'s true, for the drivers sake.....

What you, and many others like you, fail to realise is that acts like this are very very rarely carried out in a rational state of mind.http://news.hereisthecity.com/news/business_news/8...

While I agree with the very basics of your point (ie the trauma experienced by the driver etc), you are doing yourself no favours by being so presumptious. Commenting on a suicide as an outsider is also a pointless affair - unless you had a direct window into the mind of the person in question.
More so than finding a way where you won't affect lots of innocent people possibly for lfe, maybe taking a lot of booze and tabs would hopefully do it, go quietly, i understand where people are coming from with "they lost the plot arguement" but it ain't really a great excuse for the unnecessarily affected.
I was on a train that hit someone who did this. As V996 said - they do it because it works. My train was late and I had to change. Frankly I didn't give a st as being half a hour late is utterly insignificant in comparison. People who do this are not thinking rationally, If they were, they would't do it.
It was not a pleasant experience for me, so for the driver it must be much, much worse.
