Holy freaking smokes, almost getting hit by a train doesn’t get closer than this. A young woman in Sao Paulo, Brazil, had apparently dropped her phone onto the metro tracks and foolishly jumped down to retrieve it. She couldn’t get back on the platform, the train was coming into the station fast, AND SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED.
Miraculously, two guys managed to pull her out right before she would’ve gotten hit. It’s terrifyingly close.
You can see in the video that she barely escapes getting hit. It’s so, so, so close. Half a second later and she would have lost her legs, a second later and she would’ve lost a lot more than that. As much as it sucks to lose your phone, it just isn’t worth it to jump onto the tracks and risk your life for some shiny piece of rectangle that sends text messages. I wish more train stations had glass walls separating the tracks and the platform so that nobody could ever get foolish enough to make that jump. DON’T DO THIS, PEOPLE. [R7 Noticias via Neatorama]
