Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks
 
I keep re-watching this video, and is it just me or does it almost look intentional? I mean she just keeps walking right onto the tracks, she didn't trip or get pushed or anything like that

Can't watch the video at work - but the attached description says she is "visually impaired".

Wow, She doesn't pause at all, and she seemed focused coming down the stairs. Maybe a depth perception, but that was a crazy fall. Gotta say the crowd around her immediately started helping and trying to get the train to stop. Good to see everyone get involved!

Also, [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22466-2004Nov3.html"]the image below[/URL] happened when I was working at the EPA. Obviously this happened on [B]my birthday[/B] as I was trying to get home to go out to dinner with my family and it ended up taking a couple of hours. That was a fun one.

Apparently, Schneed is reading impaired. ;)

I realize she's visually impaired, and maybe the video speeds things up, but she looked (to me at least) to be moving forward quite deliberately. Being visually impaired I would have thought she would have moved more cautiously near train tracks

It says she can't see real well.

Schneed10 07-23-2010 09:43 PM

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks
 
I don't think she could see all that great.

Schneed10 07-23-2010 09:43 PM

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks
 
I don't know if she really saw where she was going.

JoeRedskin 07-23-2010 11:06 PM

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks
 
I wonder if she could actually see where she was going.

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks
 
Hey Schneed, do you think she could see well?

Do you?? Are you sure you are not ... impaired?

If I am seeing correctly it's safe to say she fell on the tracks. But there's no way to tell if she can see correctly.

But no seriously that was a nice save. Great job to the driver of the train for stopping in time and great job by everybody for waving at the train and getting the lady off the tracks.

doesn't matter if you can or can't see when you are f-ed up, i bet she was drunk or high on somthing. i'm with ss she b lined it for the tracks it looks like a staged stunt

I don't think she saw the oncoming light at the end of the tunnel.
