Maybe the press should agree to report such attempts as murder-suicides.

"Today a woman attempted to murder 50 bus passengers, but was herself killed."

Might change suicidal behavior a little since if they really wanted a murder-suicide (very rare) they'd do so.

I very much doubt that it would change anything. If you're contemplating doing that to yourself, then you're not really thinking of the consequences of what might happen to others along the way. Pretty desperate place if you ask me.

In this case the bus was empty except for the driver (as said in the article) but I get your point. Makes sense I guess...

But the true tragedy here is, I believe, that a woman felt she needed to commit suicide in the first place. Poor girl...

I'm sure the jumper never considered how many people might have been killed. Kids that drop rocks off overpasses don't think they'll kill, either, but it happens every year someplace.
