Woman tells of rail attack ordeal
A woman waiting for her train at a station in England complained to a couple of male passengers who were smoking on the platform (which is illegal). They started harassing her, and when that wasn't enough, pushed her onto the tracks. She landed within inches of the 750-volt third rail running alongside the line, narrowly avoiding death. Fortunately staff shut off the current and pulled her to safety before a train had time to come along.
Had the power been from overhead catenary, her life wouldn't have been in quite so much danger. Of course, her life wouldn't had been in any danger at all had a couple of immature bastards not tried to push her on the railway tracks.
