rooster59 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 ‘Drunk’ man’s legs amputated by train in Ayutthaya By The Nation A man described by police as being drunk sat on a railway track in Ayutthaya’s Muang district Saturday morning in an apparent suicide attempt and was severely injured when a train amputated both of his legs. Police said the incident happened at 9.30am on a railway in front of Wat Koh Kaew in Tambon Kamang. The man was identified as Atthapol Maiyawan, 34, from Surin. He fainted shortly after the incident. Narit Puksor, the driver of the Bangkok-bound train from Lop Buri, parked his train after the incident. He told police that he saw a man sitting with his legs hanging over the track so he opened the train’s whistle to signal the man to move away. Narit said he tried to stop the train after the man did not move but the train was running at full speed and its momentum prevented it from stopping in time. Police suspect the man intended to commit suicide.

However, witnesses who are living near the scene of the incident, told police that they saw him wandering at the scene, about three kilometres from Ayutthaya railway station, before the arrival of the Bangkok-bound diesel train.

You are so right. "sometimes" a friendly conversation could change a mind before this act of despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I wonder if the train driver will be getting any counselling, I though not ... At times like this he just becomes a passenger. He can't stop, he can't swerve, all he can do is operate the horn and hope the obstruction moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it should be equally accepted that people have the right to die if they choose too. It should be available and in a better way as can be done now.

Ron 19, spot on mate, why some posters get kicks out of somebody elses misfortune is beyond me. As i have already posted the poor man obviously has some issues that he needed help with.
