South Korean Subway Suicide Prevented

Comments

Today’s video comes out of South Korea. Here we see a man jumping into the tracks to commit suicide. For some reason he lies down in the middle of the tracks at the slow end of the platform. If he really wanted to die, he’d have done this as the train is entering the station and would have stood up, right? Maybe it was really a cry for help.

Luckily some quick thinking passengers jumped onto the tracks, picked the man up and got out of the way just as the train entered the station! What a heroic move. I’ve seen this type of move numerous times and it’s awesome each and every time.

Sadly there are always people who think like this:

That was very greedy of the man jumping in frount of the train.If the train had killed him they would have to stop all the trains passing that station for hours and it would cause the train driver a huge amount of depresion and shock.
