    More Darwinism at work

    Wandsworth Common death: Man killed 'leaning from train window' - BBC News

    Yes, and the paramedics were called 'to attend a passebger with a head injury'.

    The head being 2 miles down the line...

        Unusual to be able to open train windows these days. I think some of the east coast mainline carriages have this still.

          The torygraph are reporting he was looking out to see why the train wasn't going very fast.

            If it's not a fast train then commuter trains in the SE have these windows you can pull open but you have to be a contortionist or have a small head to get through the gap.

            I reckon he did the former hence his head being elsewhere...

              They have said that he wasn't decapitated

              I did wonder how he got his head out a window.

                Now all train operators are going to have to pay for expensive signs like they had on slam door trains.

                  Witnesses on the train saying he was decapitated. Bit of a waste of time calling out the air ambulance, in that case. I mean they're good, BUT...
                  His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
