The Seoul subway authority will install toilets in drivers' compartments, after one of its engineers plunged to his death while apparently relieving himself from a moving train.

<p class="article">
The Seoul Metro plans to provide nearly 400 toilets from this month in drivers' cabs, and increase the number of staff bathrooms at stations, a spokesman said on Thursday.

<p class="article">
'A major concern is the smell,' said Kim Kyung-mo.

<p class="article">
The incident that prompted the move took place in December when a driver, apparently suffering from diarrhoea, leaned out of his compartment and fell on the tracks. He was hit by another train, local media reported. Source: (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=83554&amp;in_page_id=2)
