Yep, it's unforgetable nearly 20 years later.

A while back, probably nearly ten years now, a Metrolink engineer acquaintance of mine left Metrolink and returned to Amtrak after hitting his 20th pedestrian. I need to check back and verify the number, even if it was HALF that number, it is bad. LA leads the world in “suicide by train” incidents. I don’t know how the company combats that mentality?

Actually Japan leads the world, but since they have a phrase other than one that translates to including "suicide". Since suicide is not in the translation, the accurate numbers usually don't get picked up in basic statistics gathering. IIRC it translates to "human accidents"
