"To the public gawking from the bridge, including the man lifting up primary school children to get a better look and to the commuters moaning that they'd be late to work, please think carefully if you're ever unlucky enough to come across a situation like that again - a 16-year-old has seen no way to improve her life other than to end it. Her life, as well as the lives of her friends, family, the train driver and numerous witnesses, has certainly been changed forever. I think work can wait."Speaking to the London Evening Standard, commuter James Regan, 23, said some passengers were left on trains for about 45 minutes after the incident. Many were heard complaining about the delay. On Twitter, another passenger at the station added:
“While girl [was] being placed in ambulance chap beside me complaining loudly to police that being held back was “outrageous” and would there be compensation. We were held back for approx 3 minutes. He showed no sympathy."Mostly though, it seems others on the train that day took their cue from Sarah and kept it all in perspective: https://twitter.com/justafewmoments/status/734654141595844608 https://twitter.com/si_fi/status/734652463156977664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/MrsDervish/status/735011612256571392 https://twitter.com/justafewmoments/status/734660151886684160 https://twitter.com/si_fi/status/734652463156977664 Got a story for JOE?
