Port Wakefield rd is a major hwy into Adelaide, The other week (5kms from where I live) a disturbed individual walked into the path of a truck. The poor truckie left 40 ft skid marks in an effort to miss the bloke and ended up on his side in the middle of the hwy. If you want to end it at least choose a way that does'nt involve anyone else! Counted in the road toll as a pedestrian death!!!

I used to work for the railways, the worst was seeing people whod end it in front of a train, there would be cigarettes all over the place where they sit waiting / contemplating. Drivers arnt even aloud to get out if they hit one of them, so it dosnt mess with their heads.

I used to work for the rail too... Worst part for me was crawling under to adjust brake rigging and finding the left overs... Used to really screw with the drivers. One bloke sat cross legged on the track and eye-balled the driver all the way, what a ***** messing with someone else like that just 'cause he couldn't be bothered living any more.

Well the media doesn't seem to have any problem reporting suicide bombers, now does it? I don't see a rush on people in Australia going and strapping plastique to their waist and blowing themselves to kingdom come...

The government doesn't want these deaths reported because we are the lucky country and everybody living here is happy and well adjusted and thankfull for the job they are doing, keeping us safe in the ''war on terror'', keeping intrest rates low,crime/unemployment down ect.

I did a course about 7 years back with a bloke who worked for the melbourne Port Authority, and some of their boat guys would help the water coppers in detecting objects on the river bottom under the westgate with their equipment, then the divers would go down to see it was a body. He said at the time they were averaging finding 1 person a week
