Perhaps change the title to “Atlanta transit CEO kills himself, stepping in front of train Friday night” or at least capitalize MARTA.
Would definitely be interested to hear how he got in this mental state. It's a matter of frustrating and predictable reality that people who are poor and non-influential easily end up in a suicidal spiral. The same cannot be easily said of CEOs, especially ones who work for the public good, particularly combined with reformative policy and a progressive attitude to the workforce. I can't help but think there is significance in his choice to commit suicide by means of the thing he managed.
Wow, he decided to end his life through the very product he managed. bizarre.
Same thing happened a few decades ago to a local transit CEO here as well.
The engineer in charge of that train is not to be messed with.
