... who was horrified by a) the incident and b) the complete lack of personal responsibility in the US. I'm glad I'm not alone (and, I'd guess, most of the posters here are from the US, which changes my mind about them even more :) )

I wonder if parents would sue Transport for London (who run the underground) if an kid jumped/fell off a platform and was zapped by the middle rail.... and if TfL would then turn around and charge them for the downtime and on-the-track fines (which I think is around £2000).

anyway....
