Riding on a Train, and You Leave a Big Stain

Diarrhea, ptptf ptptf, Diarrhea, ptptf ptptf! Yeah, I’m 6 years old today.

Passengers on the Brown Line in Seoul

From Reuters here:

The Seoul subway authority will install toilets in drivers’ compartments after one of its engineers plunged to his death, apparently relieving himself from a train that was in motion.

The incident that prompted the move took place in December when a driver apparently suffering from diarrhoea leaned out of his compartment and fell on the tracks. He was hit by another train, local media reported.

The toilets consist of a collapsible seat that stands a few centimetres off the ground and a receptacle. The device can be stored in a compartment about the size of a thick briefcase.

So what happened to the train when the driver sharted himself to death? Did it slowly coast to a stop or was it computerized (like the ones in DC) and just go into the next station driverless?
