Wow - of all the ways to off yourself, I can't see jumping in front of a train being one I'd choose.

I think I'd go with jumping out of a plane with no parachute. That would be one hell of a ride.

Overdose for me. I'd jack myself up on a drug cocktail the likes of which the world has never seen.

Still not 100% reliable. Out of a plane with no chute is pretty much guaranteed. I'd personally use a combination of techniques.
 
It is sad that people have to resort to suicide.
As harsh as this sounds "Life sucks get over it" is something people have to consider before they do themselves in. 🙁

Take a couple dozen tabs of acid and jump out of plane without a parachute. You'd die of freaking out before you even hit the ground! 😉

That's what my grandfather did - gunshot wound to the head, but he rigged a noose up so he'd fall and hang if the gunshot didn't kill him.

I don't know... I think that fall would give me too much time to reconsider. And of course, it would suck to be a foot above the ground and suddenly think: oh sh|t.

I think you'd be dead before you hit the ground.
 
This is a cruel, mean world. It's unfortunate that many humans have evolved to, for the most part, take pleasure in others' misery and work to achive it. I can understand the desire to end one's own life. You're mad she made a train late? Be glad she didn't get on it with a gun & take others out 😉

i hope all the comments i was reading were sarcastic
cuz being late 2 hours don't mean ****** compared to a person's life.

Let's say somebody jumps in front of the #4.

Each car has over 200 people in it, with 10 cars per train.

That's 2000 people, just in that train.

So that's 4000 hours lost right there, almost half a year.

Then you take into account the likely 3 trains in between the jumper and the next express station and that's 12,000 hours.

And the trains farther back that they hold everyone there for half an hour before kicking them out and saying to take the local instead probably account for another 100,000 hours, or 11.5 years of lost time.
