Story was that it was somebody from one of the rehab centers nearby choosing death by train - probably close to a decade ago now.
The driver must not have had time to brake here as the stop was only marginally faster than a normal platform stop but we had also shed a lot of speed already before the stop.

The driver here pretty much could only say a few times that emergency personal are on the way. The worst part for me was the horrific screams, puking, and faces of the people watching.

I used to be one of the these people are so stupid and just inconvenience me but after being close to it its just sad.
