Natural selection is alive and well.  Wink

She got away with it this time though - maybe she'll think about giving up the booze?  Undecided

She is completely out of it, bless.

Something similar happened outside my house a few weeks back... They passed out on the tracks (they said they fainted or something, but many assume it was being drunk), and they got hit by a train losing an arm and a leg. He is still alive and lives in my town, I've seen him around a few times.

Stay away from the tracks until the train arrives. I can't believe some people can't realise that they are so drunk they can't stand still, yet they still go near an edge and hope to not fall down it.

Woopsie-daisy... Cheesy

It is amusing, but I think if I saw someone that inebriated near the edge of the platform, I'd try to steer them away until the train stopped in the station.
  Amazingly, though, in all the hundreds of hours I've spent on subway platforms, I've never seen anyone quite that stumbling drunk. On the trains, yes... but not on the platform.  Grin

She's also very lucky she didn't make contact with the 3rd rail... the way she was thrashing around down there, it might have happened. 700+ volts will do more than curl your hair!   Shocked
