My neighbour deals with this sort of thing daily. Takes a special kind of person. He’s able to compartmentalise. I wouldn’t project your reaction to everyone else’s, and yes, he leads a normal life otherwise.
It doesn’t sound like a suicide. It does sound like reckless stupidity. If stupid people are fried, then so be it surely? Isn’t that why the Darwin Awards were created?
I hung around for an hour chatting after the game and was back home in S.Bucks before you! Jeez, sounds horrendous on trains today. But sadly not unusual.
