SCARY video here.

For those of us just in Boston, we know how narrow those platforms can be.

Saw this on the news this morning, scary doesn't begin to describe it.

Lady was pretty messed up (intoxicated, not by the train).

CCTV captures the moment a drunk woman falls into the path of an oncoming train... and walks away uninjured

Quick-thinking: Train driver Charice Lewis laughs
as she recounts the incident to reporters in Boston
yesterday


If the "driver" had not been able to stop in time, and the train had run over the "victim," would the victim have been able to survive if she stayed in the position she was in, i.e., down on the roadbed, between the rails?

i don't know how much room there is between the car and the bed. I've seen it done in money train(the train rolls over the guy and he cuts the bolts to a hatch on the floor of the car to gain access) but that's Hollywood and a modified R22 subway car from the new york city subway.
