A TOURIST needing the loo at a railway station was killed by having a wee — on a live track. The victim was electrocuted after he crept into a recess to relieve himself.
It is thought his urine splashed on the line and he died instantly when a 750-volt charge leaped up at him.
Staff found his body after he was filmed on CCTV going into the nook at Vauxhall, South London, and failing to come out again.
The man, a 41-year-old married teacher from Poland, is believed to have been on a visit to Britain to improve his English.
It took police a week to identify the victim after the tragedy, which happened at around 5pm.
The station has no toilets but there are public loos in a bus terminus nearby.
A source said: “Perhaps because he was from Poland he had no idea the rail was electrified. His family back home are heartbroken.”
About 40 per cent of Britain’s 10,200 miles of train track is electrified.
what a stupid way to die. which fully grown adult pisses on rail tracks? i'd have pity if he was like... 12 or some shit, but this guys an embarrassment.
OKAY, fine, He's an idiot, I agree, but I feel bad saying mean things about dead people. I mean, yeah it was stupid, but he was just an innocent guy with a family back in his country....... and they probably do shit like that in Poland all the time. lol
many existing direct current systems are still in use — e.g. in South Africa, Spain, and the United Kingdom (750 V and 1,500 V); Netherlands, Mumbai, Ireland (1,500 V); Belgium, Italy, Poland, Russia (3,000 V), and the cities of Washington DC (750 V).
That's crazy and dangerous. Well, I guess they gotta sell their stuff somewhere and this is the only place they could find. But if someone got killed, I wouldn't feel bad. That's just stupid...
yeah... that footage is wierd as hell. i don't know where that was filmed, but it was somewhere where the health and saftey guide line manual doesn't exist.
T you see how Poland is on your list of countries with electric trains...? that just solidified my "his a idiot" theory...
the bam stuff in jackass, ALOT of it is lifted from the CKY vids....the stuff thats on those vids that didnt make jakass, IE the 2 clips above, are so funny.
i really thought i was gonna hate them when i borrowed them from my friend, but the CKY's are so funny....
Bam and his friends were such fucking pricks, but its funny tho....
