There was a doco on tv a few years ago about a guy cut in half by a train,he was railway worker who got caught between train and concrete platform in New York,he was alive for quite a while as the train kept the pressure on his torso,he was able to see his wife and kids and say goodbye.When the train was shifted the trauma killed him,just as the rescue team thought.

Does this say something about the value of life in some cultures? Maybe it's a product of too many people in too small a space.

What I find amazing is he can see his lower half lying next to him and doesnt freak the hell out. He even tries to sit up at one point and sees he is cut in half.

I would like to know how his little walker works.

I might have stolen his wallet......

A lot of people that watch that video are always shocked that everyone's standing around and doing absolutely nothing..

What I have to ask is, what exactly do you do?

The ambulance has most likely been called a hundred or so times already, and all you can really do is wait.

No one would touch him at fear of his guts falling out or just generally making it worse. There's people talking to him, making sure he's still about.

Essentially, I myself would just stand around in a panic, not sure if i'd be able to film it though.

Exactly what i was thinking or you would be in so much shock you wouldn't know what to do
