ICE to Basel stopped by moron jumper, everyone into regional train, bus through Kenzingen, now being told tracks are free again. #DB #fail
-
@greve sounds like it is the season. last weeks train to stuttgart got delayed near schaffhausen because of a jumper.
-
@tjensch Apparently number of jumpers multiplied by 4 since November when DE media made big show for suicidal ball catcher as 'fallen hero.'
-
@tjensch What's extra tragic: Most of those additional suicides would not have happened without the media 'fashion trend' nudging them on.
-
@greve the financial crisis could also be of influence ...
-
@jwildeboer: Maybe it's #crippleware that drives them over the edge... ?!?
-
@tjensch Completely fail to see what is heroic about forcing an innocent third to live with having been your involuntary killer. Truly evil.
-
@jwildeboer Maybe a little, but likely not that much. Well known & proven phenomenon that public suicides trigger tag-alongs.
-
@greve jumpers are quite a usual thing here in MUC. Dunno if absolute numbers are rising or not.
-
@jwildeboer Check out last weeks Süddeutsche Magazin, that's where I saw the 'up by a factor of four to season average since November.'
-
@greve, @jwildeboer: Maybe it's just a German fashion statement thing?
-
@kanarip just as dutch governments going titsup is a dutch fashion statement? ;-)
-
@jwildeboer if only it were really #titsup...
-
@jwildeboer suicides are not quadriple what they used to though; we have more political murder?
-
@greve that is true. i pray for the train drivers. statistics say, they hit 3 jumpers during their career. this comes with severe mind probs
