i went to primary school with jess, she was a good friend of mine.
her father is the music teacher at our primary school and he changed my life forever with music, it is now what i get by with.

i went to the services and funeral, and im so glad i did, to farewell such a beautiful girl who never deserved to leave this world.

How tragic and very sad. This poor family.
And, Deity, you have my deepest condolences.

Deity - I just read your post after posting my own. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

What a dreadful story. I use London Underground every day and there have been so many instances of people falling, jumping and being pushed - yes, really. It's unbelievable. The Jubilee line is the only one which is covered (by a huge plexi-glass barrier which stretches from floor to ceiling) and it feels incredibly safe to use. Luckily I just switched jobs so from now on it will be my tube line of choice! :-)

Deity, I am so sorry for your loss. You must be devastated. My best friend died last year and it is still difficult to accept. My thoughts are with you and her family. I am here for you if you need to talk or vent.

My condolences also to Jessica's family.

Thanks, surfer......

So sorry Deity for your loss. It gives us a sense of our own mortality when one of our friends goes, especially when they're so young.

Same thing here--no barriers, so of course there are the jumpers, those that are pushed, and the others that either faint or lose their balance. It's really scary that there are no barriers to protect people.

This story hits home. I buried my BEST friend today. she was only 40 years old. She was at a retirement party 2 weeks ago and had a bite of cake. Little did she know, there were hazelnuts in the frosting, and she was deathly allergic. She didn't know there were hazelnuts b/c she didn't even know what they tasted like. She had 2 daughters and was the last surviving child out of three.Her parents don't know which way to turn, and I don't either.
I don't mean to be a downer to everyone, but I am cried out and needed to share with people that don't know me. Thanks

That episode of "Homicide" with Vincent D'Onofrio scarred me for life.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Aaah, SEPTA. I remember I used to look for the train and then stand well away from the platform. Poor, poor girl.

What a beautiful young lady. This is a very sad story, & my thoughts are with them at this time.

god how completely horrific for her brother to see that carnage.

my heart goes out to them.

2008-05-15T11:45:00.000-07:00

I miss trains almost every day because I won't go stand close to the edge. So if the train is packed, I will most likely miss it because I wasn't right in front of the door when it stopped.

What a sad story...about Jessica Jacobs, that is.

2008-05-15T11:44:00.000-07:00

i'm always the one holding the pole or standing w/ my back up against the wall when I'm waiting for the train/ subway... Because i always had a horrible fear of falling like this! This is just so sad. sending them prayers & strength.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Jacobs family.

I don't know why there aren't any barriers on the subway platforms, either. I live in NYC and the platforms get unbelievably crowded. Several people die each year because they accidentally fall from the platform or because someone pushes them. I thought this was the only country without safety railings on subway platforms, but I guess not.

2008-05-15T11:27:00.000-07:00

I was on vacation many years ago in Peru, climbing up and down steep trails with 8000 foot drops. My parents asked the guide why there weren't any railings. The guides said: People are more careful when there aren't railings. They had railings for awhile, but stupid American showoffs kept climbing over them and falling to their deaths. Got rid of the railings, fewer accidents.

how tragic! I hope her brother and family can find some strength to get through this.

This is so sad. She was so young.

RIP Jessica.

I know what you mean about the train platforms, last week a woman was killed when she either was pushed, fell or jumped (sorry can't remember) in front of a train here. shudder
