Woman survives being run over by train
An Israeli woman laid herself on the tracks just before a train roared through a crossing in an apparent suicide attempt. But seconds after the train passed, she got up and walked away almost unhurt.
The incredible scene was captured on the closed circuit security TV system at the Kfar Vitkin level crossing in Israel's north.
The video shows the woman calmly approaching the tracks and lying down between them. The train passes over her at high speed, and then she gets up, picks up her shoes and walks to her car.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Tuesday that two days after the bizarre event, police have not yet found the woman. Rosenfeld speculated that she was attempting suicide or mentally unbalanced.
