Re: Teenage Girl's Suicide By Train In Argentina
I'm surprised her courage hadn't failed on her. I mean imagine a fast moving monster of steel running right toward you, and that you'll soon become a bloody smear. I would be running away at the last second. lmao.

Re: Teenage Girl's Suicide By Train In Argentina
I'm a locomotive engineer by profession (hence my username, if you're a railroader, you'd understand it.), and I can tell you the one thing that ALWAYS surprises most when we have a suicide, is the "victim's" complete and utter commitment to the act. In four years at the throttle I've had six suicides (and two more as a conductor), and I've never even heard of someone so much as flinching, or jumping out half-hearted... they ALWAYS do it. Truly mind-boggling human behavior. This particular video gets to me much more than do the 'aftermath' images on this site. Gore is gore is gore... but seeing someone's eye's at the moment they've chosen to end their life is something that continues to haunt me ever since my first "trespasser incident" several years ago. The railroad gives you three days off, and a meeting with a totally useless and clueless PTSD counselor... yeah, that's totally sufficient help for dealing with continually getting a front-row seat to people's suicides! Anyway, I visit this site because I find it very therapeutic somehow... and if anybody has any questions for me, I'd be very happy to answer. This is the only place I know of where I can discuss the horrors I've seen, or even my morbid fascination with the physics involved when 79-mph train meets a stationary 200 pound man. my best, -J1 Reduction Pissneck |
