World's luckiest railway track inspector?
The video says it all.
Y'know, if I were him, I'd have my hearing checked. How the heck he didn't hear those trains coming, even if he didn't see them, is beyond me!
He was probably drunk. My father, as a 2nd job, was a track inspector for the Illinois Central RR in the '50s. I went with him frequently. You can FEEL a speeding train approaching. And the ones on the IC RR weren't as fast as those in the video.
You're kidding me!
ReplyDeleteQuick, get him to pick a lottery ticket!!!
Unbelieveable- I'd have loved to know what his BP and heart rate were after that!
ReplyDeleteThat HAD to be staged...........
ReplyDeleteIf it were me, I believe I would find another job.
