You Win Some, You Lose Some

In yet another case of “Alanis Morissette Irony Or Real Irony?”* a man’s death helps save a life:

On Monday night, an unidentified man jumped in front of a freight train at 88th Avenue and 76th Street just off of Cooper Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The apparent suicide attempt, however, may have actually prevented another tragedy waiting to happen. A little further up the line, a woman drove her [car] onto the tracks and was stuck. Her vehicle would have been crushed if the man had not jumped in front of the train, stopping it.

*I’m actually not sure here . . . help!
