   I was in the front car of an ICE train in Germany, when I heard a thud under   
   the carriage.  Turns out a man jumped in front of the train at a station.   
   We waited there for, oh, about an hour.  Another train came along side and   
   we walked across a suspension bridge between the two trains.
