Suicide
It took ages to get home tonight, there was some disruption with the train service, and they were making everyone use replacement buses after the train terminated at Footscray.
I assumed a train had broken down (again) due to the unseasonably warm weather (36!) we were having today. But no.
When the bus went past the scene of the accident, all I saw was a mangled mess of metal being loaded onto the back of a truck.
To get an idea, buy a can of coke. Drink the coke. Put a red grape inside the coke can. Sit it on the ground, and squash it with your foot. Ok, now you’ve got the picture.
Driver dies after colliding with train
October 12, 2006 08:10pm (Courtesy of news.com.au)A 42-year-old man has died after his car collided with a train in West Footscray in Melbourne’s west.
The man was driving in a service lane between a railway yard and Sunshine Road when his car collided with the passenger train about 4.15pm (AEST) today, police said.
There were about 300 passengers on the train, but none were injured. They were ferried to their destinations with buses and taxis.
Police are investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the coroner.
For the record, there is no service lane. There’s the main road and a gravel track crossing that railway workers (only) use to get to the Tottenham Railyard, where they work.
Lets rewrite that article, shall we?

Incase you haven’t guessed, I have no sympathy for this moron. Firstly, anyone who kills themselves is gutless pussy. It takes way more guts to ride out the troughs of life than to give in and top yourself. Secondly, inconveniencing that many people in the process, what a selfish cunt-act. If you’re really going to be that stupid, go jump off a bridge in the middle of nowhere, nobody gives a rats ass.

So it’s definitely a suicide?
I personally think that people who commit suicide should do it in their own time, in the privacy of their own home. Preferably in a bathtub (or a toilet, as I’ve suggested before) so it’s easy to clean up the mess.
The absolute worst are those who throw themselves in front of trains – the method of choice in London, I must say – and make everybody late for work.
sad… sad.. sad…
Death is really the only thing that is certain.
no, taxes are certain, too. and so are stupid people. they are as certain as the fact that too many people are ball-less.
God, I totally agree! Death is sad enough but to seek it voluntarily? WHY!
