Okay, the worker expressed his disdain in a rather dickish and unprofessional manner. But his frustration, as well as that of the passengers, is valid in regards to people committing suicide by train.

It's like at my retail job, where we go to the breakroom and bitch loudly about the fucking idiot customers. Just gotta remember the walls can be a bit thin.

Fuck that kid, there's several better ways to kill yourself that doesn't involve inconveniencing dozens of strangers.

Tell about that... It's a bane for Moscow metro. Every week or so some arrogant idiot (usually in the rush hours, is it a part of their plan?!!!) jumps under the train paralyzing already overloaded line for 15 or 20 minutes (yep, the responsible services had to adjust to deal with it quickly), more than that, they often survive. This is SO stupid it looks like they do this intentionally.

By the sound of it, people should avoid sending their kids to Fordham Prep.

I'm loving the Russian trains but you gotta keep it safe for work...

>>131898
Not a problem. Didn't think though that boobs are strictly forbidden here too, even if they are directly related to the trains and is just part of the bigger picture (literally). Anyway, it was just closest pic to the topic (not counting documentary photos with consequences of real accidents) I have found.

>>131880
Or remember not to broadcast one's dickishness to the entire train.

I understand your intent, and I appreciate what you were trying to say, but boobs fall under "NSFW", artistic or not. I wish it was not so, even I found that picture to be tasteful, even though it is what we all gnash our teeth about.

Back to trains, eh?

I probably wouldn't be that bad, but I am pretty cold when someone gets minced by a train - largely because I do have somewhere to get to and they were inconsiderate enough to make a driver feel bad. Perhaps to my twisted amusement, some of the other passengers get really emotional about it.

Of course, we should all spare a thought for those in Tokyo every other morning.
On that note - I've always wondered why every subway station has a small tap and a stone sink at every station. Surely it couldn't be for fire fighting so I can only assume it's for filling buckets to wash off the blood. Although apparently some are labelled as drinking fountains? They could've put a lot more effort into making them easier to drink from!
(that's my sperging for the day)

Maybe they use pressure washers to clean the platform area? You know, from substances other than blood too.

How fast they can remove the body, btw? Fast enough so the commuters can finish their journey in a bloody train?

>>131924 Wow I once said something similar and the whole board pounced on me for being cold hearted.

>>131930 -- As I recall, you worded it like it was all a joke to you.

If you want a tall tale, a mutual friend on the railway tells of a driver who had 50 or so mincings in his career to the point of earning a nickname. The one that did him in being a child slipping off a platform in an accidental circumstance.

They pick up as many pieces as possible before washing the rest off. I think for the health and safety factor, they pretty much always pull the train out of service (and in the case of a slam on the windscreen, they pretty much have to. If the train washes in Japan are the same as here, there's an oxalic acid wash to sanitise the exterior.
There was a video of the station staff just using water buckets and splashing it off...and another of the trains just running anyway even though there was a decent bit of blood and meat on the tracks. (I'll leave finding them to you).

Cleaning up is pretty quick and in standard Japanese fashion, they almost always have the moving curtain and stretcher even if it's in pieces. That and the staple repeated shouts of abunai with warning tape to keep those too curious a reasonable distance. The big delay as I understand is in the bureaucratic part of getting the police and such to tick the boxes and say yep this wasn't a murder.
Even in Sydney the big delay is the bureaucratic part. They can clean up pretty quick.

I haven't been in a train that's minced someone yet but I've been a station away twice. In one case they froze for about 40 minutes due to Death by Tangara. In another, they were running about 10 minutes behind.
Then there was that time 2 years ago where the train stopped for 5 minutes before continuing. There was an English announcement to the tune of >This train will perform an emergency stop, please hold on to something
and the screens on the train mentioned the usual happened.

>>131940
You were at the station around the time this happened, right?

Hah, no. That happened way after my Japan trip (which I hope to make again when I'm not broke, maybe once I graduate in 2 years' time). The closest I've been was rolling past the bits left after a girl had tried to run across a quadruple track at Hurtsville [sic] during peak hour as they had the green tarp draped over.
I wasn't far from Yokohama Station when the train stopped for that time in Japan though, albeit on the Keihin Tohoku rather than Keikyu. And every other morning on the screens you'd see notification of delays somewhere in Tokyo due to 人身事故.

Of course, I feel dirty for discussing a subject such as this. My feeling towards the deceased is largely apathy due to needing to be somewhere but even still. It does intrigue me because of how much they try to pretend it isn't a thing (although the railway here will explicitly mention if someone was killed vs an injury on the delays page).
