Tragedy struck a worker at the Sentul KTM train station earlier today, when he was electrocuted in front of horrified commuters waiting for their morning train. Early reports suggest that he was trying to remove a group of birds from wires at the station when the accident happened.

The events that led to the employee’s death are not yet clear; however, station safety and employee training are being called into question, nominally by this editor.

An especially nosy bystander felt the need to record a video of the tragic death.
