Killed by BART


BART officials said:

"A man possibly in his 20s appears to have voluntarily stood on Bay Area Rapid Transit tracks before he was fatally struck by a train at a San Francisco station around noon Saturday. The man stood in front of the train waiting for it to hit him. He did not make any attempt to get out of the way.

The man was struck and dragged under the BART train at the San Francisco Civic Center Station, halting all trains at that station for nearly three hours and causing system wide delays."

This is a real tragedy when people get killed, what amazes me is that BART is more concerned about delays than the life of one of its passengers.

bart cares more about keeping trains running and not getting sued, as long as it's not an employee getting killed.
