Where is our humanity? How is this keeping anyone safe? Trump and ICE are traumatizing our children, ripping apart families, and terrorizing our communities. The cruelty is the point.

Platform screen doors save lives. How many more people need to die before we stop this needless cause of death and disability?

Massachusetts officials have broad autonomy in deciding what they release/confirm to the public. As traditional media has lost control of the platform for the broader public dialog, there are fewer levers to apply real pressure on these officials for information.

These preventable tragedies aren’t enough to force change. Too few truly break through; when they do, the town can explain them away. None of the deaths linked follow the same pattern of events, yet all three of these men (and many more) could be alive today if the T had platform screen doors.

Platform screen doors save lives. How many more people need to die before we stop this needless cause of death and disability?

The reality is, we often don’t hear about the people killed by our failure to invest in this basic safety infrastructure because they’re either trespassers or victims of medical emergencies.

And... the media isn't solely to blame for the lack of a spotlight. Here’s the DA release announcing jail time for the person who stole White’s chain. White is not identified in the release and was only ever identified by family.

wcvb.comFamily identifies passenger who died trying to board moving trolley at MBTA stationA man has died following an incident early Tuesday involving a Green Line trolley at Boston's North Station.

Adam White was killed while trying to board a moving Green Line train after a Celtics playoff game.

His death got press because someone stole his gold chain, and it happened after a Celtics game. He was technically “trespassing,” usually a third rail for the media and, as such, rarely generates follow-up coverage beyond the active scene/delay—the traditional thinking to discourage suicides.
