Probably a psychological talking point that I’m not confident on, but I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can elaborate on this.

Learning someone pushed a person infront of a train would encourage the thought of others to copy. Similar to how school shootings have grained into the American society in the recent years; guns have always been accessible, but the thought of shooting up a school 30 years ago was unheard of.

Also inaction, both by society and political institutions, essentially makes it an acceptable outcome.

School shootings and random attacks on public transportation should never be tolerated in a civilized society.
