CTA accidents and self-centered passengers

According to an article on Tribune’s ChicagoBreakingNews, this morning, a person was hit and killed by a Red Line train at the Sox-35th station. It is still unclear if this person was accidentally hit by the train (which can be caused by being too close on the blue safety line), if this person intentionally jumped in front of the train, or perhaps was pushed in front of the train. The ensuing operation by emergency responders caused the line to be shut down for a time, and even upon restoration, caused massive delays along the red line in this morning’s rush hour.
