My friend saw all this go down last night, had to push the emergency button, then I received a traumatized phone call.

Have you ever seen anything significant go down?

This sort of thing happens once a week. And as if he/she would have seen s***.

Train stops quickly
everyone gets off
100 rumours do the rounds
police/ambos turn up
tell everyone to f*** off

well, i nearly saw a blind guy get creamed at dutton park station a while ago

heaps of blind peeps around annerley (i think there is a support centre there for them or something)

anyway, im sitting down at dutton park station, during my pleb days (when i used public tarnsport) and this big blind guy comes tapping down the way to the other side of the station

hes making his way along the platform, when for somereason he veered off at 45 degrees, and stepped straight over the edge of the platform!

the station chick came running out, screaming abuse at this poor dude, who is lying on the tracks!

station bird got over to him, pretty quick and helped him back up onto the station, but the whole time, i just felt bad for him, that he fell off the platform, and then got yelled at when no doubt he was already feeling embarassed and hurt!

but i guess station bird was just trying to save him also (in her own funny way)

also, i see lots of pix of what trains do to people on ogrish

plus that young sydney bird got cleaned up just the other day in front of her mom at a train station cutting across the line;

it happenz;

See steps post about taking labels off (ie fences) and letting evolution sort itself out

A couple of years ago as I was catching the train to school some guy did a jumper in front of the train and got royally messed up. There wasn't too much blood, and it was at a station so we didn't have to wait too long to get out and see the body.

EDIT: Oh, and he was killed.

There is a difference between getting hit and going under

Spook, right next to the dutton park station is the centre for the blind people, they have workshops and stuff there and give them jobs. One of the things they make and sell is hardwood poles.

Saw a guy get beat up at a train station. Got kicked off the train for being drunk and he tried picking a fight with the guard. Some other guy stepped in, after a bit of talk they go at it and off the platform. One gets up and runs away to his bike while the other crawls up with a face full of blood.

Gotta love it
