Since I am a daily North Station Orange Line commuter, I was intrigued when I first heard about this the other day. It hit a whole new level once the video was released this afternoon. Girl gets hammered. Girl tries to take train. Girl falls onto track in front of oncoming train. Girl DOESN’T die. This photo doesn’t do the situation justice. In order to fully grasp the event, you must watch the video (preferably Video #3).

Things that are wrong with this situation:
1.) The girl is so drunk, she can barely stand.
2.) She’s smoking on the platform, another no-no.
3.) The girl is completely shitfaced, yet she is completely alone. I can’t even begin to explain how dangerous THAT alone is.

This girl is BEYOND lucky that a.) there were enough good samaritans there to wave down the conductor and b.) the conductor had the presence of mind to stop the train in time or else she’d be a shredded mess of a former human being.

As if nearly dying weren’t enough, the girl now has to face the public humiliation of having this incident plastered all over the news. I just hope she learned her lesson. Probably not, though.

ADDENDUM: And just like that, our very own drunk girl went international.
