This women is a portrait of everyone that is faced with these hard economic times. With that being said, then you know that she didn’t do anything to jeopardize here life or the lives of others. She had everything to live for and trust and believe that she definitely wanted to see her child not go through the struggles that she was going through. Her personal business was her business, period. Let’s spend more time helping people so that they don’t have to struggle like this women did to survive.

I don’t think the article insinuates that she was suicidal, but agree her personal finances is her business and not ours. I also agree that corporations 1st priority is to limit their own liabilities when something tragic happens, yet the masses are told to be responsible and accountable individuals. the game remains the same, double standards and partial disclosure of the facts.

Her finances or weither she paid her rent on time has nothing to do with the accident. Seems to me that there will be an scapeoat and the person does not have a say because unforunately she is not here to speak on her own behalf. This is what companies do when they are not trying to take blame for their failures in sure she did everything possible to try to prevent what happened. Now the fatigue and other factors may have come into play but to put her private struggles out like that is just wrong. To basically say that her life struggles could have caused her to say I cant take no more and end her own life and take others with her would seem selfish I dont think she was that type of person. A mother to a son who is just starting his life and college I dont see her doing something like that to end her personal struggles she loved her job she could have easily left to persue other ventures. To me metro and the media want someone to blame and all metro needs to do is look in the mirror. Not a pretty picture is it.
