i don't know

just a thought

The last time I saw a person decapitated in a traffic accident I asked them how they were doing.

I'd hate for anyone to think me impolite.

What did they say? Just can't get ahead?

hondaciv I will admit you do come up with some interesting videos but is that what you do all day? Cruise Live Leek for the latest beheading and people getting hit by buses etc.

Would it really have the voltage to push through you if you were wearing shoes and pulled him off without touching any of the rails yourself? Seems like it got him because of the amps and with good contact with two rails.

ETA: If not, surely you could make a big overhand knot in a jacket and pull it tight around his leg and drag him off of it.

He was dead the moment he hit. What are you trying to accomplish?

Thankfully, that's far from the case.

That was a sad end to a sad and wasted life. I am hoping the dude was too high to feel much and died quick.

People hit by buses? Hmmm... I don't recall posting any of those.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm amazed they have not put up rails to prevent this by now. You can't buy a handgun but they let you just walk right onto the subway tracks.

Not necessarily. It is better to get hit with DC than AC, as it does not cause fibrillation in the heart. He may have survived if he was pulled off in the first few seconds.

It's still a 600 Volt line. He was cooking from first contact.

Yea, but like William Gray said, he may have survived if he could have been pulled off quickly. He would have been burned and felt like the devil got a hold of him, but he would have likey recouperated.

I personally know guys that have been hit by 600VAC, and 848VDC. The worst I have seen was not even a direct contact, but burns from an arc-flash when a contractor let go and shorted two phases.

I stood over a thug once as he bled out from a GSW. I did the whistling bit from Life of Brian. I don't know if it provided him any solace, but it has provided me with a lifetime of chuckles.

Can we conduct serious business for just one thread? I was getting all amped up for a good discussion. It's time to pull the plug on this one.

Thank you for taking charge and bringing this thread back to the ground.

This is the sort of tragedy I'd expect to see in DC. That it happened in NYC is just terrible.

This thread should be inducted into the hall of fame. It has a lot of potential for positive change.

I dunno, the comments keep alternating between good and bad, but I guess that's better than just a continuous load of crap.

Oh yeah, because it really smelled like a rose garden in there before he up & roasted hisself.

My first thought when he started smoking was "I wonder if it smells like BBQ".

I've seen stuff A LOT worse than this in my days on the internet. 99% of it didn't even bother me....i guess that whole desensitized business.

I don't know why this vid gets me........craziness. I could hear that noise he made right when he fell on it when I went to bed last night.

That's NYC subway. . . and FWIW, there is no "34th St Train". . .however there are several lines that stop on 34th St in Manhattan. . .

And another observation: there is always at least ONE person who thinks they know better and demands that somebody else "DO SOMETHING", or yells out what they think should be done in these types of things. . . and their understanding and knowledge of what is taking place and what should be done is in direct inverse proportion to how insistent and loud they voice their exhortations. . .

i feel a little sad for the girl that was trying to help him stay away from the rail before he got fried. And maybe a little disappointed, but really expected no different, that none of the several males standing around didn't try to pull him up.

Anyway get falling down drunk sometimes "everyday things" can kill you.

but fuck the girl who kept yelling "someone do something" once he made contact it was a lost cause

Sounded like the same girl who said "why isn't anyone doing anything" was the same that said "nobody go down there!"

It would suck to watch, I would be on the phone but not to take video

Its ok she has his shirt too.

Souvenier?

I was on the subway one morning when an older gentlemen was standing between the cars and either fell or jumped. What a 3 hour mess. Nothing left but his hat and a copy of the NY times.

Ummm, maybe because most people watching someone die tend to get upset?

That siad, I'm glad none of the folks who apparently didn't understand he was already dead didn't jump down there to "help" him.

Chances are if the guys on fire, he isn't kicking his leg because he hears you telling him to come get his shirt.
