A video of a woman chatting on her phone after a high-speed train passed right over her is going viral and leaving the internet completely dumbfounded over her flirtation with death.
The clip was shared by Twitter user Dipanshu Kabra on April 12 and was reportedly filmed at a train station in Haryana, India according to Meaww.
The video's caption translates to "Gossip on phone, more important" with a face to palm emoji–which pretty much summed up social media users' reactions to the bizarre clip.

The woman wearing a traditional shawl called a dupatta sat upright and got to her feet after the goods train sped over her as she lay flat on the tracks and appeared to take a call as if nothing happened.
Because of the unbelievable nature of the video, many users speculated this was an digitally edited stunt.
I don't think video is authentic. Let some expert give his opinion\nWithout an authentic conclusion, any discussion is waste of energy, and unwanted involvement— Shailendra tripathi (@Shailendra tripathi) 1649990331
Looks edited. There's a time lapse between the train passing and she rising up from the track.— rahulranwas (@rahulranwas) 1649916211

Those less discerning were appalled over the woman being unconcerned with her life.

She is very lucky because of freight train as compared to other incident which was happened in the past by passenger trains.\nFreight car ground clearance is more and passenger car ground clearance is very less because of the hanging batteries under passenger car.— Radical Streamer (@Radical Streamer) 1650084506
What to say for this kind of people.. Fearless. Always time and fate will not like this to escape.. Don't give pain for family and others.— RAJSHEKAR HM (@RAJSHEKAR HM) 1649915944
And others were only able to match the ridiculousness with humor.
