A Swedish tourist who missed his return flight on Sunday tried to kill his 7-year-old son and then committed suicide at Tel Aviv Airport.
He threw his son over a guard rail some 8 meters above the railway tracks and then jumped to his own death. Both landed in the path of an oncoming train but the son was saved by a janitor who stood on the platform and waved to the slow-moving train, allowing it to stop a few meters before hitting the two.
