Vincent Donofrio plays a man who was pushed in front of a train by a deranged man. He's alive, but eviscerated. The only thing keeping him alive is the fact he's pinned against the platform and it is acting as a tourniquet of sorts to keep his blood above his hips... <br /><br />when they move the train, he dies.<br /><br />it's an amazing episode. Andre Braugher spends the hour talking with him, trying to get info from him, while Bayliss tries to figure out who pushed him. <br /><br />I believe Donofrio won an emmy for his role as the dying man. At the very end, he says something about how before it rains, leaves turn themselves on the tree so you see the bottoms of them. And i hear his voice when i look out at the trees before it starts raining and they're doing just that.<br /><br />(I came via Universal Hub to visit).Christine G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17781551364340088590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-30748431633986128382007-01-21T14:00:00.000-05:002007-01-21T14:00:00.000-05:00ok you just made me terrified of Buses and trains ...ok you just made me terrified of Buses and trains now:) Just kidding.nice post.KAYLEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482455511208786156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-84976252121520510592007-01-21T04:12:00.000-05:002007-01-21T04:12:00.000-05:00Thanks for leaving that in my mind.

I did have the bus break down on me twice, though it wasn't because we ran over anyone.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198762158401756973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-37420776396265689902007-01-19T20:35:00.000-05:002007-01-19T20:35:00.000-05:00Suldog,

There is a pedestrian bridge across the river where you can watch the falls (and the falcons). That bridge gets a fair number of "jumpers" and I never knew that until I talked with the old time falcon watchers. The news media does not report on suicides or suicide attempts. I guess it may be out of respect for the families or an attempt at not glorifying suicide. Perhaps that was the case with the man you saw also.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368654034853253265noreply@blogger.com
