people with a death wish

For the 2nd time in 2 weeks, an idiot has tried to drive across the rail tracks while the crossing lights are flashing and has consequently been plowed through by the Metro light rail train. In the 2nd incident, the arms were even down! The driver consciously drove around the arms, while the lights were flashing, to try to cross the tracks. Six people were injured, hundreds (thousands?) were delayed in getting where they needed to go, and millions were lost on a now severely damaged train. What the hell are these people thinking?

no kidding... there are always jumpers at the train stations in japan. the families of the deceased pay for the damages and clean up costs that their relative incurred.
