"Driven by debt, lost love, terminal disease and other miseries, 95
people killed themselves in Seoul's subway system last year, up
from the 58 in 2002. So far this year, 37 people have ended their
lives the same way.
"The suicide rate is marginally higher than in neighboring Japan,
where 32,080 people killed themselves in 2003. Japan's total
population is roughly 126 million.
Oh man! Why do they want to die in such a traumatic way? Not to
mention, a death by this method inconveniences the public who uses
the transport system, and the poor cleaners who have to scrape the
human gunk off the tracks later! 
"Subway suicides have also been a problem in Japan. In Tokyo,
authorities once installed mirrors on the wall at the incoming end
of platforms, where most people jump, theorizing that people would
change their mind if they looked at their own image.
Y'know, they forgot that if someone is unhappy with his / her
outward appearance, or if their mates left them for someone who's
prettier / more handsome, putting up mirrors will only increase
their resolve to commit suicide!
