December 4, 2006NEW YORK - A man was badly burned Sunday when he came into contact with high-voltage wires as he tried to climb on top of a New Jersey Transit train at Penn Station, authorities said in a story published by the New York Post.
An Amtrak employee, who quickly called for paramedics, spotted the man. NJ Transit officials said the man was trespassing on locked-down Track 2 at about 3 a.m. Police said the train had not been scheduled to depart for about two more hours.

Authorities speculated that the victim might be homeless and trying to get inside to sleep. They speculated that when he couldn't open the doors, he climbed to the top. He was taken to the burn center at New York-Weill Cornell Hospital suffering from burns covering most of his body. His name was withheld pending family notification.

Good Gravy,

Here's another person who will probably cash in(read millions) because some jury feels sorry for him. They can speculate all they want about his reasons, but the guy is an idiot, plain and simple.
