When they blew their head off with a shotgun, they said in their note now I look how I feel. Then I could understand, not forgive them, but understand them. Everytime I hear about these awful metro suicides I remember that.

Rob may not have been compassionate in his delivery, but this was a selfish act in every conceivable way. Agreed with ET.

I'm sorry, but this was a totally and completely selfish act on their part. Because of this act, now the driver of the train - and all the people who were on the platform - has do deal with the emotional consequences that he became part of because he just happened to be the driver of that metro train. The person that committed suicide just committed a totally selfish act by passing some of his misery on to someone else and I don't think I am being mean. I am going to save my compassion for the driver and other witnesses and hope they get past this.
