@newyorkUser1638490019 Oh shit. SO traumatic for the person AND for the motorman/woman. This is incredibly sad no matter what 💔

@BornNYr, heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine how the train operator is feeling, as you mentioned. So terrible for everyone involved and awful that someone was so lost to do this.

We must fight the demon off.. Pray to God have faith

Damn so many comments smh we don’t know peoples minds they don’t plan it it’s just a click in the brain an instance a sec. Who knows what demons that person was fighting

Exactly. People don't have to be under the influence for this to happen. Some people could seem to have the "Perfect" life and still end up doing this. If that's what actually happened .
