Russian train driver's warning horn scares careless walkers
A terrifying video from Russia is circulating online, showing two women walking along the tracks, clearly engrossed in conversation and not reacting to an oncoming train. The recording captures the train driver's reaction.
A viral video from Russia recently appeared on a Facebook account with the name Conductor Przemek, which is followed by 26,000 people. "How to effectively stop wandering on the tracks? Like this," wrote the author of the post.
The women were walking on the tracks just ahead of the approaching train
The video shows two women walking on the tracks, and the person recording is in the driver's cabin, right behind him.
The women are walking slowly, and although the train is getting closer, they are completely unaware of it. Ultimately, the driver has to use the horn, which he does with apparent satisfaction.
Upon hearing the horn, the women immediately jump off the tracks to the sides, causing the train driver to burst into laughter. He refers to them in unflattering terms.
The post received a lot of interest from Conductor Przemek's followers. It has nearly 5,000 views and close to 160 comments.
Some internet users support the driver's behavior. "And rightly so. I would have nudged both ladies with the bumper - he was going slowly enough that they wouldn't have been hurt, but they would have learned their lesson," one comment reads.
Others point out that the man's behavior was irresponsible. "There's nothing funny about it. There are probably rules that require you to use the horn earlier. If one of them had gotten her foot stuck between the rails, it wouldn't have been so funny," another commenter writes.
However, many agree that the most irresponsible behavior was from the women walking on the tracks. Many internet users emphasize that you really can't hear an oncoming train, so such practices are very dangerous.
