In India there are no doors on trains.
It is usual for passengers to start boarding or exiting well before the train has stopped. It really has to be seen to be believed but the fight for a place really can be an aggressive free-for-all.
This chap slipped and fell in the gap between the train and the platform at Kandivli station; and eight bogies went over him.
The man obviously has a guardian angel and supportive bystanders who told him exactly what he shouldn't do — move.
And so, the man lay absolutely still as eight bogies of the train passed over him — centimetres from his head.
Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the man clambered out, unaided, unhurt, but too shocked to speak to us after his near-death experience.
