Another Smoking Death

Ten minutes to the next stop and this British train rider would have lived to die of lung cancer. The man forced open an emergency exit between cars on a commuter train, or the tube as it is called over there, and leaned out to have a smoke. Unfortunately he slipped and fell off the train which was travelling at 50MPH. The rider was then dragged under the train and decapitated. OUCH, that's gotta hurt.

Well at least he doesn't have to worry about emphysema or lung cancer now.

I think we, as concerned citizens of the world, who may, some day, travel to Jolly Old England, and while there decide to avail ourselves of the local, public transportation, bring suit against said public transportation organization and/or it's officials and/or the operator(s) of said conveyance to ensure our safety if/when we would otherwise find ourselves in danger due to their negligence.

And, now back to the bunny story.....
