London Banker Commits Suicide - Distraught At Credit Crunch

Back in 1929 Wall Street brokers literally leaped from the windows of the brokerages to their deaths. It was not a figure of speech, it was real. Now in this latest financial crisis a banker in London did something similar.

Kirk Stephenson, a banker who was married with an eight-year-old son, jumped in front of a 100mph express train at Taplow railway station, Berkshire, England. The city of London is in shock and hopes are that the credit crunch will not move others to the same grizzly fate.
