Tady Virál, a streaming channel known for its daily dose of internet virals from around the world, has released a video that sends shivers down the spine.

Captured by industrial cameras, the footage shows a senior citizen crossing the road with complete calm just seconds before a train passes by. Meanwhile, other bystanders meekly wait for the train to pass, adhering to the instructions of the transport operator. Does it seem like the pensioner knows the rules of impeccable behavior near railway lines by heart, to use the vernacular?

Generally speaking, attempting to cross railroad tracks right in front of an approaching train is extremely dangerous and can lead to tragic consequences. Crossing the tracks, even outside of designated crossings, endangers not only the pedestrian but also the passengers and staff on the train. Many railroad companies promote safe behavior at railroad crossings.

Retirees and other vulnerable groups should exercise caution and follow the rules for safe conduct near railroad tracks.
