| Man loses arm, fractures leg after being struck by train |
| 2018-07-02 |
| [NYPOST] I don't want to seem unsympathetic but if I'd just been hit by a train, I wouldn't be doing anything dangerous enough to cost me an arm and a leg afterward. |

| #2 Possibly overthinking it, dear Spolulet Clunk6935, though I would not dream of discouraging the practice when the results are so very interesting. ;-) From the article, two suggestively contrasting sentences: The 50-year-old is clinging to life after he toppled onto the tracks, according to police and the MTA. It’s unclear how the man ended up on the tracks but police said he was not the victim of a crime. |

| #1 Not to nitpick, but shouldn't we consider the possibilyt that the poor man, having lost his arm in some unreported mishap, was only then, justifiably distracted rather than negligently careless, hit by the train, only to fracture his leg while fleeing the unlucky scene in a perfectly understandable, if belated, transport of caution? Or am I overthinking this? |
