Watch: Man survives after falling on a railway track as a train runs past

Fortunately, Bhola Singh survived and only sustained minor bruises. In videos of the incident, Singh is seen lying in the thin space between the railway track and the platform with onlookers watching the train pass by. After the train crosses the station, Singh is seen getting up and folding his hands as if thanking his stars before he picks up his luggage.

Earlier in the morning, a passenger identified as Bhola Singh fell on track while attempting to board Agra Fort-Lucknow junction intercity at Bharthana railway station (Etawah). Bhola survived without any injury. pic.twitter.com/WHODSvb5Nv

Why people try to board the train when it starts running.Don’t they have enough time to catch the train on time.Always be on time,and if not able to baord for any reason,don’t try to board running train. Everyone is not having same good luck, like this man. Life is more precious.

In June this year, Bharti Tiwari, a reservation supervisor, saved the life of a passenger who had fallen between the platform and a moving train at Mumbai Central Railway Station. In a video, Tiwari was seen pulling the passenger to the platform just in the nick of time before the train passes by.
