  That's a German ICE train entering a tunnel... like a bullet entering a canon. :D

  No kidding, that's still one of the "popular" ways for people to commit suicide. It's on the news quite often that someone jumped in front of a train again. It does put the job of train driver in another light and that of those that need to clean up the mess afterwards.

  Yeah, from what I've read train drivers can mostly cope with 2 or 3 such accidents or suicides and then they never drive a train again.

  If you look around the net, I'm sure you'll find pictures of what happened to the front of a shinkansen when someone jumped in front of it as it was passing through a station in October last year. I haven't seen the pictures myself, but I'm told that there wasn't much left of the nose of the train. Not a very pretty way to go, and, given the high rate of people getting hit by trains in this country, not something that seems particularly funny.

  My comment wasn't really ment to be funny. It was more of a comment me and my friends use where we know something really bad would happen if done and we tell the other to do it and both goes "yeah, that wouldn't be pritty".

  I've seen the maglev, but unfortunately not while it was moving. It's on my list of things to go for a ride on.
