Commuters Push Train To Free Trapped Passenger In Perth (Super Human Strenght)

A passenger on a commuter railroad near Perth, Australia, was rescued by his fellow passengers after he slipped and got his leg caught in the gap between the train door and the platform -- and the entire scene was caught on video. "He stood in the doorway and as he was sort of taking up his position there, one leg slipped outside the door, slipped outside the gap and he was stuck," Transperth spokesman David Hynes told ABC Australia.Passengers were initially told to move to the opposite side of the train in the hope their weight would shift it away from his leg, a passenger who gave his name as Nic told The West Australian newspaper. But when that failed, staff told commuters to get off the train and about 50 of them lined up in a row along the platform to tilt the carriage away from the man so he could be lifted out. "It is the first time we've seen something like this happen," Transperth spokeswoman Claire Krol told AFP.One passenger said the man appeared to be in shock but not in pain, and was lifted to safety by two other passengers once the gap widened. Paramedics treated the man but he was not badly injured and caught a later train. The witness said the mishap made him rethink the warning “mind the gap”. “It’s not something you sort of think about or really take seriously,” he said. “I always thought it was a bit of a joke but now, yeah, you kind of do.”
