Very interesting. And I have mixed feelings about the quote you selected with the commuter asking "so, how long before we get on the move again?" On the one hand, it's a cold and inappropriate thing to say, but on the other, due to personal experiences, I have deep disdain for anyone who chooses to end their own life in a way that will knowingly affect others so badly. In that sense, I almost want to applaud the flippant attitude the commuter had. Why should great consideration be showered on the man who committed suicide when he showed none for the driver of the train that he actually looked in the eye as he purposely involved him in his own traumatic death. I find actions like Henrik's to be the pinnacle of selfishness...or at least in that neighborhood.
