A Tragic Occurrence on NJ Transit

My friend Emily informed me that I'd be remiss in not commenting on the story in the link below.

Earlier this week, a man leaned over a NJ Transit platform to see if the train was coming. Well, it was. The train hit him, and he paid with his life.  Apparently, the impact was so violent that the man was torn apart. It sounds like a pretty gruesome scene, and my heart goes out to his family. 

The yellow safety line is there for a reason, so stay behind it. Believe me, the train is coming. And if it isn't, someone will announce something over the PA. It isn't worth your life to watch the train enter the station.  

This has been a public service announcement. We now return you to our regularly scheduled observations on odd commuter behavior.
