Well what can I say? The video says it all. Pretty awesome of the others who rushed to help

A woman waiting on a railway platform was lucky to escape with her life, after a fainting man accidentally threw her into the path of an oncoming train earlier this week.

The incredible CCTV from Argentina showed the moment a man standing on an underground station platform in Buenos Aires suddenly fainted among a crowd of people.

As he fell, a woman standing towards edge of the platform was lurched forward by the force, and thrown onto the tracks. At almost the same moment she fell, a train emerged from the end of the tunnel, hurtling towards the helpless woman.

Amazing. Good on them!

You know, there's a real strategy for boarding a train. If you're first, you wind up stuck in the middle of a gob of people. If you're last, you might not get on. The trick is to be one of the last ones to actually get on the train. That way, you're right by the door.

Yeah, just don't hop the train after a cubs night game..

Did that once, NEVER again.

Drunks fighting and puking all over, screaming like children. And the gangbangers are fun too.

Nope, I'm done with trains.

There is just a creepy guy looking at me with a binocular, as if it was necessary because I am sitting right in front of the screen.

They say the man fainted, but he crawls after falling, and the train seemed to be aware, as it stopped a long distance away from the woman, that seemed to have lost consciousness.

???

Yeah funny that... the crawling seems unnatural ( wouldn't his face be smashed? ) And then he casually goes back to pick his stuff up?

Yeah good idea. Out of all the "metros" we've caught while travelling around the world, the Manhattan subway was the most interesting - colourful characters. haha
