A youngish-looking idiot videos a train passing over him. No doubt his friends egged him on.This was not shot in North America. Note the high-pitched whistle and the concrete sleepers ("ties" in these parts).
This is very dangerous. Trains sometimes have objects dangling underneath them.
Take it from an old railfan who's chased Norfolk-Southern trains for years: the fool was lucky this time.
It supposedly happened in Russia a few years ago--and every stupid blog on earth is talking about it.
