Subway Tales: Police "Investigation"

There was a bit of a train delay today and they announced that it was a police investigation. I used to think these were situations where the cops were looking for someone who was traced to a certain train at a certain time. But Jim, who is our contact in the police department was telling me a few days ago that many of these "investigations" are actually police cleaning up the mess of someone who fell onto the tracks or was hit by a train. That was surprising to me because these accidents never make the news most of the time. So there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The delay might be annoying, but someone might have died... which is even more annoying for that person. Also, be careful on the platform... especially if you're standing at the rear. Jim said that a lot of these accidents happen when someone standing towards the rear takes a peak as the train enters out of no where (rounding a corner).
