Etoile Posted April 7, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2010 A woman jumped off the platform at Mt. Vernon Square today. First responders were able to extract her from under the train with critical injuries. No word on whether the injuries are life-threatening or if she will survive long-term. Will get links soon and update this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted April 7, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2010 This is bad. I hope she survives. Reminder: don't post graphic images here. Use PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etoile Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted April 8, 2010 Would never have occurred to me to post graphic images! Here's the promised links: Mount Vernon Metro Station Reopens After Woman Rescued From Under Train Woman Struck by Metro Train (video) I have not heard anything on her updated condition, but the first article confirms that she jumped and did not fall.

Forest Glen Posted April 9, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2010 This sucks. Suicide doesn't solve any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etoile Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted April 9, 2010 Indeed. Suicide is always a selfish act, too - the survivors suffer the most. And not to be callous, but messing with everybody's commute is not nice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
