I keep re-watching this video, and is it just me or does it almost look intentional? I mean she just keeps walking right onto the tracks, she didn't trip or get pushed or anything like that

Can't watch the video at work - but the attached description says she is "visually impaired".

Wow, She doesn't pause at all, and she seemed focused coming down the stairs. Maybe a depth perception, but that was a crazy fall. Gotta say the crowd around her immediately started helping and trying to get the train to stop. Good to see everyone get involved!

Also, the image below (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22466-2004Nov3.html) happened when I was working at the EPA. Obviously this happened on my birthday as I was trying to get home to go out to dinner with my family and it ended up taking a couple of hours. That was a fun one.

I realize she's visually impaired, and maybe the video speeds things up, but she looked (to me at least) to be moving forward quite deliberately. Being visually impaired I would have thought she would have moved more cautiously near train tracks
