Kannur: A man miraculously escaped after lying low on the railway track as a train passed him at Pannenpara. A video of the incident, captured by a passerby, went viral on social media.
Pavithran, a Chirakkal native, said he was walking on the track and looking at his mobile. "I was walking on the track as usual. I take this every day. When I heard the train's horn, I threw the phone away and lied as low as I could," Pavithran told Manorama News.
"I was confident that I would not be hit by the engine or any part of the train. I was not afraid at all. But I was really scared when I saw the video of my escape. I thank my stars. I think I was destined to meet my children, and that's why I escaped unhurt."
He told Manorama News that he would think twice before walking on the tracks.
Sreejith, who captured the video, told Manorama News that he was still in shock after seeing the man underneath a speeding train. Sreejith said the man walking along the tracks fell to the ground when he heard the train's horn.
