Shocking Video: Man Survives After Train Passes Over Him During Dangerous Platform Crossing in Telangana

A terrifying incident unfolded at Kesamudram Railway Station in Telangana's Mahabubabad district when a man miraculously survived after crawling under a stationary goods train that suddenly began moving. The unidentified individual had attempted to cross from the second platform to Aminapuram by passing beneath the train on the newly constructed third track.

In the viral video capturing this heart-stopping moment, the man can be seen lying completely flat and immobile between the railway tracks as the entire train passes over him. Bystanders on the platform shouted in alarm as they witnessed the dangerous situation unfold. Remarkably, once the train had completely passed, the man stood up apparently uninjured and was assisted onto the platform by railway personnel and fellow passengers, who immediately reprimanded him for his perilous decision.

The footage, which has circulated widely across social media platforms, was shared with the caption: "Man narrowly escaped death as he tried to crawl under goods train to the other side of platform, at Kesamudram Railway Station in Mahabubabad district."

Railway authorities have launched an investigation to identify the individual involved in this dangerous incident.

Social media reactions to the video varied, with one user commenting about a similar incident in Mumbai: "This same thing happened sometime back in Mumbai, no videos, maybe rumour. Best part of the story was a policeman urging the man to be calm while train passed over him. As soon as the train stopped, he helped the man get out and then mercilessly caned him." Another simply remarked, "Lucky fellow."

Engaging in stunts on railway tracks represents both extreme danger and irresponsibility. Such hazardous behavior frequently results in severe injuries or fatalities. Beyond the risk of deadly accidents, individuals caught performing such actions may face serious legal consequences, including substantial fines or imprisonment under laws against trespassing and endangerment.

Trains operate at high speeds and typically cannot stop quickly enough to prevent collisions. Attempting dangerous maneuvers near or on tracks also places tremendous stress on train operators and emergency responders.

Despite continuous warnings from officials and public awareness initiatives, some individuals continue to endanger their lives for momentary excitement or social media attention. Many of these dangerous incidents are recorded and distributed online, potentially inspiring imitative behavior among vulnerable or impressionable viewers.
