it's always sad whena guy wants to kill himself, and he ends up taking innocent people with him, or instead of him. Just like the guy who shoots up his former workplace, before turning the gun on himself. Only if they'd just killed themself first.

I by no means encourage suicide as an alternative, but if you're gonna do it, don't kill other people in the process.

You mean you're really buying this half baked story?

The guy decides to not kill himself but leaves his vehicle on the tracks to take out a train. Come on people! This story would be laughable if it weren't tragic.
We wouldn't want to upset the masses with news of real terrorism. Especially since we didn't have the terror aroma alert system set up yet.
Nothing to see here, keep on moving.
