Spoiler alert: she survives.
In the clip, 27-year-old Charice Lewis is shown perilously weaving about on a Boston subway platform before falling onto the tracks. As Lewis stumbles around on the track, hugging the rail and unable or unwilling to reach the horrified bystanders trying to frantically alert the conductor and reach out to the girl, the train rapidly approaches. Police say that the woman, who was treated for “scrapes,” had been drinking heavily for a long period of time.
Luckily for Lewis, the conductor manages to grind the speeding train to a halt just short of where she stood on the track. The train operator, who was not named, describes the experience:
“The people were waving, but they were waving too much, and they were really, really close to the yellow line, which you are not supposed to be. It was telling me, ‘Slow your train down. Slow your train down.
“As I was approaching, the lady pops her head up, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. Someone is in the pit.’ I threw it into emergency, exactly what I am supposed to do, and it stopped just in time not to hurt her.
“After the fact, she came up with a big smile on her face.”

That’s an impressive story. I wonder if all her life flashed in front of her eyes, or she just didn’t realize what was going on. I just hope that the lady had something like an “Aha” moment and she will stop drinking - she’s been given another chance in life, better not waste is for booze.
