he couldnt see the train, he was in such ridiculess peril, sort of smacks of being typical of a total lack of regard of safety from the top down, inherient and endemic in these 2nd world cutures.
He's lucky he took a couple of steps to the right just before the train hit otherwise he may have survived the lorry taking him out, only to be split in half by the train wheels! Not sure how the lorry driver didn't spot the train coming??
