No news on Red Line jumper last night?

The Red Line was being bused from at least Park to Harvard at 10:00 last night under the guise of a "medical emergency," which as usual was, according to many people waiting, a jumper. Rumor was that it happened at Park, but that the person involved survived. Anyone know any details?

What's up with the jumpers. They always seem too chose the Red Line. Is it the color Red that makes them do it?

Might just be traffic volume. The Red Line carries more passengers than the Orange or Blue...just statistical average.

I guess people don't try to jump in front of the Green Line trolleys too often. Maybe they realize those can usually stop in time (in stations at least).

Maybe the color red reminds them of blood and guts. Or they see that other jumpers choose the Red Line, so they go with what other people choose.

Yes, because the blood blends in with the red paint and therefore the train can stay in revenue service.

ok, that was just plain wrong

But I liked it anyway:-p
to semiquote from Daria:

The orange line has had its fair share in the past too...maybe they were color-blind?
