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

WUSA9.com | Washington, DC | VIDEO: Woman Falls Onto Train Tracks, Rescued By Commuters

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!

Yeah, I had that happen to me when I worked downtown after college.

Also, the image below happened when I was working at the EPA. Obviously this happened on my birthday 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.

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks

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.

Re: Commuters Rescue Woman After She Falls Onto Train Tracks

I don't think she could see all that great.

I don't know if she really saw where she was going.

I wonder if she could actually see where she was going.

Hey Schneed, do you think she could see well?
