    Anyone know what happened on 7th avenue by TD Square. There was like 5 cop cars in the intersection, 1 ambulance and the c-train service got disrupted hardcore.

    It was probably his own fault. So many people cross the road when it says not to and the train operator honks at them, some stop, the rest dont give a shit.

    Hope hes ok thought.

    Apparantly it might be suicide. The guy jumped from the platform right when the train showed up.

    the guy jumped off the platform in front of the c-train!!
    he hits the train and fells down and then rolls under the c-train for a while!!
    it was crazy!! there was blood everywhere!!! i saw the whole thing with my eyes!! CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE DO THAT!! i think he tried to kill himself or something!!
    i wasnt sure if he was alive or not cauz they made us empty the platform!!!
    that was some crazy day in my life!! never seen anything like that before!!
    people were screaming and crying and stuff!!
    hopefully i will never have to encounter anything like that ever again!!

    yo fast_cars, I am sorry to hear that man..I know what it is like to see stuff like that! over time you do begin to forget about it, but it will always be with you. I wish I could understand why people feel that they need to end their life in such a way as to destroy others in the process. I think suicide sucks, but damn why do it that way? get some counselling or help of some kind. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers go out to all the people and the familys affected by this!

    shit, that musta been messed up to see, watching someone Die like that is something you'll never forget( if he died)....a couple years ago, me and my buddies were driving down Mcleod, around 7-8pm( still light out, and lots of traffic).....and we witnessed a guy commit suicide by jumping off the pedestrian bridge that crosses over too Chinook from Home Depot. Police had that whole section of Mcleod blocked off, so much comotion, ii was intense......after 15 minutes of trying to get him down, an officer reached over to grab the guy and then he just let himself fall back, dont think i have ever, or will ever hear a grosser sound then when he hit the ground.

    What a horrible thing to happen!! for you, for the person who jumped, for the driver, for all the witnesses. Hearing your side of the story makes it so much more real than just another story on the news. Things like these make me value life so much more.

    i was thinking exactly the same thing!!
    i mean we hear news and stuff on the tv everyday which doesnt make any difference to me!!
    but looking it by yourself makes you think billion times about it!

    when i think what that guy must be thinking when he jumped that really bothers me!!
    i mean i wonder what must be going on his mind right before he jumped!
    he prolly didnt jump in front of couple of other trains..he probably was thinking of jumping and then get scared and back off!!..and then eventually jump...thinking of his state of mind at that time messes me up!!

    another train station incident today, I am sure that a bunch of you guys coming for coming for 8 o clock exams today at university also saw this:

    At banff trail station there was a guy on the ground being worked on by paramedics. They had like 2 ambulances, 3 fire trucks and tons of police. Paramedics were doing CPR on the guy and the whole scene didn't look good, they had his shirt ripped off and the guy basically looked like he had no life in him (sprawled out like a mess basically...). Police were questionning people around the station who were waiting for the train if they saw anything happen and stuff, they had the whole area blocked off.

    Kinda freaky to see this right on the way to school, I thought he might have been shot or stabbed or something but it turns up that he died naturally. He died on the scene right then and tthere at the train station......
