It seems someone was not aware of the 3rd rail and it's application on the NY Subways.

Poor planning leads to a fatal end. Of course the fact he was committing a crime didn't help either.

well i don't know about the specific location, but most places in the world, they actually sort of are.
most commonly there's a kind of plastic cap-thing over the top of them with only an opening for the third real shoe.
(some places they are mounted in such a way that the shoe runs on the underside and the top is completely covered)
there are also giant warnings about not entering the non-passenger areas. i know new york has those.
its such an older system it may not have as many of all the other modern safety measures against this though.
once upon a time, before the car was taken for ganted as the default, people were aware and paid attention to such things. usually.
(i'm sure you CAN find historical examples though. just not common, because people DID pay attention.)
something i see a lot these days, is people who don't think they have to care about anything,
who seem to think everything only exists in their head, or in books about invisible people who live in the sky,
who forget that whatever humans might or might not be liable for, there's a real universe that doesn't begin and and with humans,
or even living creatures, and doesn't owe them protection from their own ignorance.

Interesting fact: Back in the old days, the Market Street El in Philly had multilingual warning signs not to go on the tracks. Not in English and Spanish, mind: English, Polish, Greek...and Yiddish!

really the way people are now, that nothing seems to exist for them beyond their phones and maybe some sort of beliefs, it seems like a sort of universal autism has set in.
now i like being by myself a lot, and maybe that's why i don't need the substitute of being always connected, but when i walk outside my door, beyond whatever requirements to do so, i want to see the world i'm living in, not some remote face on the other end of a phone.

That's good to know about the plastic cap, helping people not to be fried by accident. My joke didn't work out well, but still better than the subject of the article. People take cars for granted these days as well so still get hit, yup people need to pay attention to heavy, and or electrified objects. (even now a days).
Cops believe he was electrocuted.Actually, the autopsy will show he twisted his ankle, really, really bad.
When I started working at the nuke plant back in 19-ought-80, one of my classmates was just coming from a thirty-month stint as a New York City Transit Police officer. Just during that time, two felons made the same exact mistake, with the same results. Like the old Cheetos commercials said: "Quick-fried to a crackly crunch."
The Third Rail takes no prisoners.
