For some reason I am NOT buying the "I only wanted to kill myself" defense. One doesn't need THAT MUCH cyanide to merely kill oneself... It only takes a VERY SMALL amount (remember the Tylenol poisonings).

Perhaps they are right that the flares wouldn't cause enough heat, but given the amount of trash in those tunnels I'm assuming he could have easily found enough fuel to start a fire strong enough to create the heat necessary...

Emperor Bloomberg doesn’t want the truth to get out. If this kid wanted to kill himself, he could jump off the GW Bridge like the other fruit loops do.

R4F: I ended up posting the article I found about it at the NY Daily News. It contains more information than the AP reports...

I do NOT buy the “suicide only” story.

Posted already over here.

It would seem to me that someone who wanted to kill themself could find an easier way to do it.

Subway tube prevents gas dispersal; poison is concentrated and WAY more lethal; same deal as the 1993 Tokyo subway sarin gas attack.

Worker gear and flares would convince the subway driver to stop and wait, then everyone dies while waiting for the “accident” to clear —fumes are concentrated.

Clearly an attack attempt —muzzie likely.

No, nothing fishy about this at all. Just some poor chap upset over a breakup...you know how sensitive these kids can be.

Why can’t people just off themselves without inconveniencing the rest of us?

My thoughts as well.

[Osage Orange]

Seems to me...the guy went to a lot of trouble to attempt to kill himself.

He could have just jumped in front of Jesse Jackson on his way to AZ........

[Secret Agent Man]

So what’s his name, they seem to have omitted that. What’s his ethnic background? If he’s islamic, there is no way that story is true, given the amounts of sodium cyanide he had.

[EEDUDE]

I would guess that the “water” he carried was hydrochloric acid. Mixed with the sodium cyanide he carried it would produce large quantities of cyanide gas.

Flares to stop the train?

Suicide attempt my ass.

[Carley]

Suicide bomber is more like it.

Ping and here’s another article from the NY Post with more info:

You don’t go through the trouble of having workgear, safety vests, flares, etc. when you’re trying to kill yourself. He may well have been suicidal, but in my opinion, that was part of his mission. It is not stated whether he had a respirator. This guy had a QUART of cyanide, several water bottles, Inside a backpack he was carrying: “investigators found a quart-sized bottle of Sodium Cyanide tablets, five road flares and several bottles of water, police said.”

[GovernmentShrinker]

What were the flares for? To make sure he didn’t get hit by a train? When he was supposedly there to commit suicide?

Who knows. Maybe he’s just some totally irrational kid, and suicide really was all he had in mind. But I want him publicly identified, so we can decide for ourselves. None of this HIPPA privacy BS, not releasing information because he’s mentally ill.

[ViLaLuz]

He wanted to kill himself: True
He didn’t want to be found: True
He wanted to kill many others: Left out
It wasn’t a terrorist attempt: Lie

Thank you Ministry of Truth.
