Messed up. I wonder if the guy was mentally ill.

A lot of crazy people riding the TTC these days. But of course you can't say that publicly.

wheres is the other half

 

[K Douglas]

I won't even attempt to watch that.

 

[whitmore]

Am I understanding this correctly? How is this not on the front page of the news? The dude was literally sliced in half? WTF?!?

He was pushed or TTC was at fault, it would be reported.

Suicides on the TTC common.

Fuck me neither.

Last week a worker in Sherbrooke area in Quebec fell on an industrial mechanical saw in a shop. No pics went to the press. As it should.

Ok, so it was the train that severed his body. Possible suicide, being pushed, accident, etc. Some of these news headlines are just terrible.

CTV news didn’t indicate the reason. Some lowlife took pictures and reported to US site for entertainment.

10-15 years ago I came across a suicide on the 401. Someone ran in front of cars travelling 100-120km. The news media only reported that police closed the 401 for an investigation.

I was just relieved I missed it. Judging by the cars stopped, it only happened a couple of minutes prior.

That's crazy, I always be careful on the subway, I stay away from the yellow line and look around.

And the guy was just filming it. smh.

From the video it may have been stuck half above the platform maybe trying to climb back up and the train came (other half is probably below the train ) I guess that was his Final destination

Now you know why so many emergency workers develop PTSD

 

[JuanGoodman]

And the guy was just filming it. smh.

right, he should have been giving him CPR

That's why I think he must be mentally ill.

It's crazy how a man can get ripped in half on the ttc and barely any coverage is on it.

 

[DesRicardo]

And the guy was just filming it. smh.

At this point that's all you can do. Film the craziness for entertainment.

Because if they did report on it they would get thousands of complaints from viewers

I was talking about the video where guy was setting his T-shirt on fire.

Western news reporting is heavily sanitized. Gory details are usually left out due to the the sensibilities of the populace.
