That is terribly sad. I witnessed the same about 30 years ago. I noticed 
her before because of her agitated behaviour, but what do you know? 
Then, when she jumped, in front of my eyes at less than 10 m, for a 
short second, I thought: "Oh, she needs to cross to the other platform". 
The mind refuses to accept the evidence.

You know John, it remains an image branded on your retina for the rest 
of your life. I wonder how drivers cope with this. Apparently they are 
confronted quite often to such experiences, at least in some areas I am 
told.
