Shocking train near-miss

CCTV pictures have caught the moment two women escape as a train speeds over the top of them in the United States.

They had been trespassing on a railway bridge in southern Indiana earlier this month and appeared to have nowhere to go, with a 24-metre drop below.

One crouched down and the other dropped as the train passed over them.

They remarkably escaped unhurt, with one complaining of a stubbed toe.
