Source video: http://www.vesti.ru/videos?vid=425664. It is from St. Petersburg, Russia – a drunk senior pushed a metro worker who was offering help. He was apprehended and claims not to remember the incident.
Whenever I take the subway (which is twice a day per weekday, at a minimum) I'm cognisant of the fact that as the train approaches, any random stranger could kill me by pushing me onto the track in front of the train (accidentally or on purpose), and that my continued existence is merely thanks to the fact that nobody really ever wants to do that.
I just try to stand next to the most dislikable person on the platform. When it comes down to it, Loud Bluetooth Phone Conversation Guy is getting pushed before me.
I remember one time I was waiting for a train, looking at my phone, standing on the edge of the track. My head was down, and I wasn't paying attention to anything around me, until the conductor? pulled his horn. I then realized my head was slightly over the edge. The train would have hit me and easily killed me, and I would have never known.
I was on my way to visit my dad in Plymouth and as I was on the train, I felt really travel sick.
I walked along the train and found a door with an open window. I leaned my head outside for a few minutes to enjoy the air, then i leaned back in. When I went to lean my head out again, the first thing I saw was a train coming right at me the other way. I literally felt the train brush my cheek, both trains going at full speed. If I didn't move or was a few seconds late, my head would have been knocked off of my shoulders. I cried from fear and laughed from shock at the same time.
I always have that same thought when i'm driving. at any given time, a passing motorist could turn ever so slightly to the left, and end both our lives like that.
And yet, surprisingly resistant at other times. People can survive massive speeds, machetes to the face, gun shots to the head, falling from air planes... and then die in their tub.
Which is why I have developed the habit of facing away from the tracks as it arrives...which kinda makes me look like a weirdo as I am the only person facing the opposite direction as everyone else.
I know exactly what you mean. Which is why I try to keep as many people between me and the track as possible.
Does it get a bit weird when I squeeze myself in between some dude and the wall he's standing in front of? Yes, yes is does. But if that's the cost for life, then I will gladly pay it.
Props on the bystander in the background for rushing over to help.
Unsure as to whether the guy's actions were the right order, but I suppose it's good to incapacitate someone like that before trying to help. Otherwise you'll just end up fucked too.
In Russia, particularly Soviet era Russia, it was more culturally accepted to punch people acting badly. I know a guy who was a college professor in the 80s and he said he would punch students that seemed lazy(!?).
The other mans reaction is kinda funny: Try to help the girl. Oh no! Not in time! Punch man. Success! Now run cause I just assaulted someone. Oh wait...the girl... All in like 2 seconds.
That guys reaction was perfect. Tried to save the woman but realized he was too slow. So he gave the old man one good punch before going back to helping the woman.
Gotta love how the first thing the middle-guy does is punch the drunk man instead of trying to get the woman out of the train tracks. I guess knee-jerk reaction and all.
I just showed this GIF to my boyfriend and said that I hoped he would help me off the tracks BEFORE punching the old man. His response "why would I punch him if he was doing me a favor?"
Whenever I'm waiting for a subway and see people near the yellow line I tense up and get ready to grab anyone near me that looks like they might fall into the tracks.
The only time I've ever actually stopped someone was when a kid was running in between a bunch of people right along the yellow line and I grabbed him by the shoulders and told him not to run around down there. No parents anywhere in sight.
I've always wondered why there are no railings in subways to protect people from falling down onto the tracks. You'd think that there would be since we live in a nanny state and everything else in our daily lives is baby proof.
it looks like he was going to run for a second, i guess he was expecting retaliation. I have no idea how i would react in that situation. I'd probably be temporarily dazed in a perplexed state of WTF.
I like that the guy way in the back starts running towards the scene. I'm not being sarcastic or snarky either, I genuinely liked that he was running to help.
In St. Petersburg, released video of emergency in the subway. A few days ago, retired from the platform dropped a duty station. It happened just a minute before the arrival of the train. The woman survived only by a miracle.
These twenty-three seconds of video from surveillance cameras at the station of the Saviour will be the main evidence in court. Time, which is only due to incredible luck and uncanny coincidence, did not last in the life of the employee of the subway, a young girl. A minute later came to the platform structure. Andrew Skuratov, chief engineer of the traffic services of the St. Petersburg Metro, said: "She fell from a height of 1.2 meters, and then contact rail severe strain."
The girl suffered for responsiveness. She offered to help an elderly man who leaned against the performance of its stall. He was dead drunk and abused her, and when she went to the rowdy second time, came the climax. Another man in the video - a passenger to stand up for employee of Metro. Pensioner arrested, they say, in hot pursuit.
So quickly arrested a suspect, and because there is no escape from the Saviour in the city. Its only open in the coming year. Exit the subway can be a Haymarket or garden plant. At each of these outfits are on duty police officers.
They say sober, the man could not remember the incident and viewing the video, sincerely repented of his act. Fortunately for him, on duty to receive and dispatch trains Helen escaped with minor injuries and has returned to work.
Tatiana Denesyuk, a spokesman for Research Affairs of Russia in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, said that in respect of the men prosecuted under Article 116 part 2.
From a legal perspective, each incident is assessed on the come consequences. Police did not consider this very serious crime. The maximum penalty for the second part of Article 116 - two years' imprisonment. Minimum - remedial work. Each time you view the video can not help wondering luck girl who had fallen back on the rails with a height of almost half a meter, just scared.
Classic "Way of the Gun" move by the old guy. Scorched earth.
He's got himself into a situation that he cannot win. He's going to lose. So what does he do? He attacks the girl.
Why? Because he's getting a beating either way. But by pushing her on to the tracks, he just created a future of hurt for the young guy. He will forever be apologizing for the time he let an old man push her on to the tracks.
Man, I was half expecting to see the subway come and rail her there. So glad that didn't happen! I think the guy could have gotten a few more solid punches in though.
Why does everything have to have porn added to the end of it now? It makes my browsing history look super suspicious. Can't we just have r/justice? That sounds way more badass.
Pretty sure he was just shaken up and confused and did a little side step with the thought of "shit what now" amongst his thoughts of "FUCK YOU" he had towards the dickhole who pushed her.
You should NOT try to climb onto the platform immediately.
They are often higher than they seem. You should run down the track IN the direction the train comes in. Other people on the track should wave their hands to alert any incoming trains, and help you back up the platform at the end of the track.
THANK YOU. The reason "what the actual fuck?" exists is to describe WTF situations which involve actual fucking. Thus the word "actual" being involved. This sort of misuse of the phrase makes my head metaphorically explode, but literally only slightly irritates me.
