Reply to comment by LightBound in A man was shoved onto Blue Line tracks in Revere. He landed on his feet and just barely missed getting hit by an oncoming train. by _Hack_The_Planet_

I don’t want to sound callous but whoever that was earned themselves a Darwin award. Are you familiar with Downtown Crossing? You would literally have to jump down onto the active train tracks in order to touch the third rail. It’s nonsensical that anyone would put themselves in that position.

I’m not saying more safety would be bad, but what I am saying is if you go to DTX and look at where the third rail is, it is baffling that someone could have touched it without deliberately climbing down onto active train tracks and trying to cross to the other platform instead of walking around the proper way which takes all of two minutes. You can’t break into electricity’s house and then act surprised when he’s home!
