DO THE TIME WARP

I stepped onto the El Shuttle today, that is, El Shuttle de TIMEWARP. Let's party like it's 1980 y'all. It was a pretty hectic day and it seemed like most people didn't know about this but my sister had called earlier to warn me about subway difficulties because there was a jumper at 8th and Market. Not something we really hear about around here but this is the second incident this year.

This is what Wikipedia says about suicide by train in Japan.
Trains are also used as a means to commit suicide. Its relative popularity is partly due to its practical ease, and to avoid causing a nuisance to one's family, though families are often charged or sued by the railway companies to compensate for the trouble caused by the accident... The costs to the surviving families by the railway companies' "delay fee" is often in the 100 million yen range.
Talk about two hits in one blow.
