He could have been attempting suicide and refusing help.

So? Push his chair off the track, turn it off and wait for police to show up while there's no risk of traumatising a poor train driver.

That's one of the things I hate about these, for lack of better words, attention seeking suicides. For them it's probably over quick but they traumatise the driver and the people that have to clean up the mess after.

I'm simply saying that it's possible, or even probable, that this dude was actively resisting being moved off the track.

Honestly, If I was driving along and I just saw a dude in a wheelchair stopped on a track, I don't think I would stop.

And yes, suicide, public suicide, suicide by cop, etc., is awful and self-centered. Literally the easy way out while leaving others to pick up the pieces.

I knew a guy once who was part of a cleanup service that came in after fires, suicide, old person corpse rotting in an apartment for 2 months, that kind of shit. He said the deathfats were by far the worst, but after that, shotgun suicide. He also didn't seem that bothered by any of it. I guess after you've seen enough... He was an odd duck.

You have to be in that field of work, it's why you have to warn some people out of certain professions because they mentally cannot cope with that kind of work.

First thing that comes into my mind is veterinarians, too many people think 'I get to look after all the cute animals' not realising your job is to deal with them when they are weak and sick usually...

Worst part of being a vet is the owners who come in demanding a pet be euthanized because it is “inconvenient”, or because of a fairly minor behavioral problem, and who aren’t willing to re-home said pet…

And then it becomes ethically murky, because yes, in some cases you can refuse, but then the dogshit owner can just “shop around” and find another vet who will do the deed…

I’m not talking “mercy kills” here, either - I’m talking selfish-ass pet owners who do this shit, all the damn time…

That, in fact, is pretty much why I decided not to be a vet.

So I agree, but it goes even beyond just that, into the territory of “Fuck, aren’t humans terrible?”

Sadly…

Yeah, even I, as one of those, have thought very clearly about ensuring that, if I did ever do it, I would leave as little mess, and as little trauma, as possible…

Still awful, of course, but… I would try to minimize the direct “impact”, in this sense.

Trouble is, though, ensuring lethality, which is why… The shotgun route is so popular.

How incredibly morbid.

After seeing what’s going on in my area after new train started running I’m inclined to believe this. Three homeless people threw themselves in front of a train, another homeless man was clipped by one, and a lady “broke down” on the tracks with her less than a year old daughter in the car. We didn’t even have this train running for a year.
