On a Christmas Eve

A 65 year-old man in France tried to kill himself on Christmas Eve by hanging, stabbing, and setting fire, but all of his suicide attempts failed. When he tried to hang himself, the rope broke. Stabbing himself with a knife did not manage to kill him either. And setting his house on fire only managed to get about 30 firefighters to extinguish the fire, not take his life. He was left alive with his house half burnt down.

Driving into the bay

A 22 year-old man in California drove his car off a bridge in a suicide attempt. Apparently having taken pills when he drove into the bay, he neither drowned nor overdosed after 22 firefighters extracted the man from the waist-deep waters. He just ended up ruining a perfectly fine vehicle.

A train and a hand

An 18 year-old woman in Calcutta, India jumped on the rails just as a train was arriving. However, she ended up in a gap between the rails and mostly made it through intact, except for her hands that were crushed by the incoming train. Now she will have to live without hands.

Crashing into a bus stop

A 29 year-old woman in Britain tried to kill herself by crashing into a bus shelter. However, instead of hurting herself, she ended up hitting a teenage boy who was waiting at the bus shelter. With having severely injured another and convicted of criminal charges, having her driving license suspended because of drunk driving may be the least of her worries.

Poor driving

A 40 year-old woman in Britain tried to commit vehicular suicide, but instead killed a little boy and seriously injured his mother without suffering a single scratch herself.
