I'm reading an article on suicide jumpers at subway stations in the Ukraine, I'm not going to bore you with all the details, but this is the official explanation of why this happens:

| “The black moon is in the sign of Scorpio, while Pluto, which is responsible for everything that happens in mines, tunnels and the subway, has switched to the sign of Capricorn. This causes fatal consequences underground,” explained astrologist of the Kyiv Classical Astrology R&D Institute Tetyana Nikolayeva. She said that the last time Capricorn had such a strong influence on things happening underground in Ukraine was more than 200 years ago. |
This is the gov. approved answer. Lawls

And as I read on,..here's how they plan to handle it.

| Evidently, the sign of Capricorn played a role in the events in Q1 2008. Director of the Press Service of the Kyiv Metropolitan Nadiya Shumak said the subway administration will fight this problem using human voices. Soon, the names of the stations will be announced by students of an art school in Chernivtsi, whose portraits will be hung up in the subway cars. The words ‘Dyakuyu’ (Thank you) and ‘Bud laska’ (Please) will be added to the sticker saying ‘Ne Prytulyatysya’ (Do Not Lean Against). This initiative will also have children’s voices saying the words “Do not jump under the train, please”. |

But at least the drivers that hit them get 100 bucks and 3 days off @ a recovery retreat.
