Near Miss between Man and Train + PIC AND VID!

[Harper]

Caught on camera: Man just milliseconds from death as he leaps out of path of speeding train | Mail Online

A split second from oblivion, he saunters across a level crossing, seemingly oblivious to the train thundering towards him.

After suddenly realising his fate, he manages to leap clear of the 75mph express , but only after it catches his trailing foot, sending his trainer spinning into the air.

This astonishing CCTV footage, taken in Rainham, East London, shows an unnamed 19-year-old ignoring warning lights and climbing a barrier to follow a friend who had crossed the track ahead of him.


The footage was just one of the hair-raising clips released by Network Rail yesterday as part of an ongoing TV and radio advertising-campaign warning of the dangers of level crossings.
