In a viral video shared by UNILAD Tech on Instagram, a train driver averted a potential tragedy by kicking a woman, who was dangerously close to the railway tracks, out of a moving train's way.
The video was posted with a caption stating, “Some people are oblivious to the world around them.” In the footage, the woman, oblivious to the approaching train, is seen posing for a photo with her back to the tracks. Despite the train nearing her, she doesn't move. At this moment, the train driver, leaning out from the train engine, kicks her away from the tracks just in time.
Social media users wondered why the person taking the woman's photo did not alert her.
