Stephen Wright had been standing on the edge of the railway platform feeling nauseous and did not spot the train speeding towards him.
As he leant over, he felt a bang on his head from the packed commuter train, which was not scheduled to stop at the station.
His two sons Kye, seven, and Keon, five, who he had collected from school in Chadwell Heath, were standing behind him on the platform at Goodmayes station in Essex as he was struck last Wednesday just after 6.30pm.
Although in deep shock and bleeding from the mouth, he managed to stagger across the platform with his sons and board a waiting train to Stratford afterwards.
Baffled police searched the tracks all night in vain for his body after the alarm was raised, and the line was closed for two hours.

I once almost got hit by the lights of a bus behind me, but it was driving really slowly.
Also a 15-year old got hit by a tram a few months ago as he was jaywalking and apparently didn't even bother to look around. He also didn't react when the tram bell rung, allegedly because he had his music too loud. I'd have loved to beat him up for causing grief to his close ones by being a complete moron, but he died in the hospital.

Then no further punishment would ever be necessary... he died for it! Even if he wouldn't have, he would've taken a hard hit and that alone is punishment enough. Too much, even.

The punishment is all on the driver, guests (
how do you call people sitting in public transportation?), family and friends. At least from the point when he died... he probably suffered a lot before that though. :(

I completely disagree. It's unpleasant to see someone die, but it's a lot easier than actually dying. The rest of them still have their lives ahead of them.
And I can't think of a term for people sitting in public transportation. Maybe just "commuters", but that's kinda vague.

Yes... but a lot harder than being dead.
I would like to put stress on the second sentence of the post. I don't actually disagree with you in that regard.

Not existing is the worst of all phases, though. Sure, they can't feel it anymore, but they don't even have the option to... A gift was taken from them and now they just aren't there. I mean yeah, it's not like people lived in eternal hellfire before they were born either, but I'm basically saying one has to account for "what could have been" too when speaking of emotions.
I get where you're coming from, and I actually kinda somewhat agree with you, but the reason everyone's hurting so much is because they know how much is lost in simply not existing. Even if only they can feel it at this point.

That is the point. To grieve about what could have been is something I leave to the poor people who knew and loved him. Of course you could complain about a former fellow human having lost all opportunity in life, but to whom would you direct it? I know no one who is directly responsible or could do anything about it.
