A chilling video depicting how even the slightest carelessness on a railway track can be fatal is going viral on social media. The video clearly shows a young man fearlessly crossing the railway track with earphones in his ears. He hears neither the sound of a train nor the warnings from bystanders. Suddenly, a speeding train appears, and a mere few seconds save him from death.
Young man narrowly escapes being hit by a train
In the viral video, the young man appears completely immersed in the music. As the train approaches, danger and fear become palpable. At the last moment, the young man realizes the situation and hurries off the tracks. The train passes so close that even those watching the video are left breathless. The people filming try to warn him by shouting, but those wearing earphones can hear neither the train’s horn nor human voices.
Death is just one step away from the habit of earphones
The video clearly shows that the young man narrowly avoided being hit by the train by just a few seconds. The train’s speed appears to be exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. Had the collision occurred, the consequences would have been horrific. This is why this video is shocking people and rapidly going viral.
Users reacted sharply, and questions were also raised about the cameraman.
The video has garnered millions of views across various social media platforms, and thousands have commented. One user wrote, “The earphones could have led to a very gruesome death.” Another commented, “This happens when Yamaraj is not in the mood.” Another sarcastically wrote, “History bears witness: the cameraman has never helped anyone.”
