Penn Station Train Horror (not whore!)

I am really unsure how come I did not hear about this, but as usual I’m bringing you some great news (even if it is a day late). The NY Post Reports,

December 4, 2006 — A man was badly burned yesterday when he came into contact with high-voltage wires as he tried to climb on top of a New Jersey Transit train at Penn Station, authorities said.

An Amtrak employee, who quickly called for paramedics, spotted the man.

NJ Transit officials said the man was trespassing on locked-down Track 2 at about 3 a.m.

Police said the train had not been scheduled to depart for about two more hours.

The victim might have been homeless and trying to get inside to sleep, authorities said.

When he couldn’t open the doors, he climbed to the top, they speculated.

He was taken to the burn center at New York-Weill Cornell Hospital suffering from burns covering most of his body.

His name was withheld pending family notification.

How funny is this? Are you serious? I would have bought this guy a train ticket or given him a ride to where he needed to go if he really needed to get somewhere that badly! I mean buddy, save your skin! Neutrogena can’t help you now!
