A video clip circulating on the social media showing a rescuing of a girl falling from a local train is going viral over the social media.
The woman in the video can be seen adjusting her earphones, and standing on the foot-board of the train compartment. She loses her balance and falls off the train only to be pulled back inside by her co-passengers.

Many people were concerned over how unsafe it is to travel on a foot board of a train.
kindly see the age of girl & her style? how she was standing,like a film shooting in progress having no fear factor in mind,ITS not her luck it's bravity of the standing passenger who holded her hand & pooled up back in quick time,regard to the standies & their bravity,Jai Hind.
