matt weighs in

I am going to try to start doing a Daily Rave, which may or may not end up being daily. I think that some weeks it could end up being most days, but that in the end, I will write about something that either caught my attention more than others that day or something that I really enjoy, such as a good beer, cheese, video, movie, post somewhere else on the web, or whatever else I decide I want to rave about. You can rave or rant, your choice, but hopefully I can find some stuff in my world that may or may not interest you.

With that…your first Daily Rave:

On Tuesday, I watched two videos caught on security cameras involving humans falling onto the tracks in subways. I think they are making the rounds on the internet, but I just so happened to watch them within an hour of each other. Both ended up with positive outcomes (meaning non-death outcomes), but watch, and you can see that either one could have ended horribly.

First, a very drunk woman passes out stumbles onto the tracks in Boston. If you have time, search the web for another version that shows it from three different angles in full. It’s amazing.

Second, a baby stroller rolls onto the tracks a second before the train comes into view, after the parent lets go of the handle. The stroller is parallel with the tracks at first, and if you watch closely, the parent slightly turns it toward the tracks, lets go to turn away, and then the stroller continues turning and rolls in front of the train.

They ended up well. Again…no deaths. So don’t hate me for getting your heart racing. They are safe. And that’s my rave for today.
