About a week ago in Fukuoka, I was on a Nishitetsu line heading towards Tenjin downtown going about 100km on the Express line. The train was packed, the weather cloudy and ironically, I happened to be sitting in the first car behind the train operator, just enjoying the scenic route and all of a sudden, out of my left blind spot, I saw a quick blur of a guy jumping on the tracks as if he wanted to stop the train. The whole incident lasted 1 second and I just saw his left arm hit the windshield and he was of course, subsequently, he was pulled under and you could hear his body being chopped up and it was a seriously messy site. Stuck and hot and sitting at an angle for about an hour and 20 min. Waiting for the cops and the crime police to come. When the operator announced that they had ran over someone. For a second, people gasped and the next, everyone took out their cell phones, called and acted as if the incident never happened. Because this happens so often, people have become to desensitized over it. Personally, when you witness something like that, it's a really fucked up thing. If you are going to kill yourself, does it have to involve hundreds of people commuting to work or for fun???
Gas yourself, swallow cyanide pills, whatever, but as to why Japanese often choose this way of suicide beats me. These people are so selfish that they have to hinder innocent people from their daily routine.
I also heard that when you kill yourself like that, they go to your family and you have to pay damages if your kin kills him/herself. Don't know how much truth is in that, if anyone has any ideas, please clarify.

They kill themselves because they aren't thinking properly.
Can't really expect people to commit suicide in a rational manner.

List of countries by suicide rate
No.1 is Lithuania, and No. 2 is South Korea.
Japan is No. 5 (damn ... can't be no. 1 at anything anymore).
The U.S. is 39, Australia 45, and the U.K 49.

I remember reading somewhere that it goes much, much slower than it was originally designed for because of complaints by airport bus companies whose businesses would have been destroyed if the N'EX was got people to the airport too much quicker than the buses.Taro Toporific wrote:Actually, the N'EX hits a top speed of 130km/h* but it "slows down" while going through stations to allow more people to jump in front of it.
