(I hope this isn't a duplicate post ... I looked around and did not see anyone post anything about this.) You watch this video and, really, there are almost no words to convey how bizarre and incredible this occurrence was. How you wonder, HOW could this guy not have been aware that he was inches from being crushed like an overripe tomato? Yes, according to reports, he was elderly, perhaps his senses somewhat dulled by Father Time. But to be totally unaware? He shows absolutely NO reaction to the train passing by. To not even glance back once you cross the tracks? Does he have NO peripheral vision? I can see not being able to hear a train that's a 1/4 mile down the tracks. But a train that's seemingly a 1/4 inch from your head?? How could you not hear that, feel the vibration? Is he some sort of real-life Pinball Wizard? Deaf, dumb and blind? All in all, this guy must be the luckiest man in South America!!! See what you think.
