Not for those who see it anyway(me), the Caltrain operators, the emergency personnel, and especially the family. It certainly is not something I want to see again, and I’m pretty sure everybody else who saw this, including the San Mateo police, fire, and ambulance, feel the same way
Rest in Peace to the woman who stood in front of the train and waved bye bye today near the Hayward Park Caltrain station
from The Chronicle (all comments removed???) and Examiner
update, the woman was identified as Tammy Lou Sanchez
and if you’re thinking of doing it, please call suicide prevention 1-800-273-TALK
I believe Caltrain’s own signs on the edges of their stations have 1-800-suicide
Also, here’s two articles about how Caltrain itself has been dealing with the issue, problems with the press, walkathons to raise awareness, etc
