Breath taking experience

This is picked up from the today's edition of Mid-day newspaper and its worthy to be shared and thats why its here so take a look!


Like you, this man too, had a dream.

Like you, he too pushed his way into the crowded train

Like you, he too wanted to get going before he got delayed

Unlike you, he slipped and fell in the gap between the train and the platform at Kandivli station.

And eight bogies went over him!



The man obviously has a guardian angel and supportive bystanders who told him exactly what he shouldn’t do — move. And so, the man lay absolutely still as eight bogies of the train passed over him — centimeters from his head. Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the man clambered out, unaided, unhurt, but too shocked to speak after his near-death experience!

Shows sometimes bravery is more important then smartness; because some people would freak out in that situation and get hurt.
So it was a 50/50 situation that turned out alright.
Oh do you mean 'bodies' not 'bogies'?

glad you brought it up..
such incidences usually pass off as common daily occurrances...
they need some introspection.
