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

That sounds like an evil kid. I take it he was arrested and handed off to the juvenile authorities!?

That happened once near where I live. Some kids tossed a brick from an over pass and hit a car. Put the driver in the hospital (nearly killed her, she had severe head trauma). They never found the kid(s).

Practicing at the local fire department, last week we got a call about a 14 year old girl being hit by a train not so far away, we went there and had to clean up, took 3 hours, just to say i have lost all interest in being a fireman, this will haunt me forever.

and i think when you really are down, and really want to take your own lifeyoudont think about what the other people might feel, the train driver wich hit this girl was just a aprentice, and it was his 2nd SUicide victim.
