Train Driver Stops to Buy Peaches

There is nothing better than a ripe peach.

Tunisia’s national railway company said on Friday that it had opened an investigation after a video emerged online showing a driver apparently stopping a train to buy peaches.

The short video, reported filmed from inside a train in the Sahel region, shows crates of fruit placed at the edge of the railway and a vendor climbing onto the train to give a plastic bag to someone.

"Look, he stops an entire train to pick up peaches," said one passenger, while others stood up to watch the scene.

Hassen Miadi, communications director of the Tunisian national railway, described it as an "isolated case".

"We have opened an investigation into this video and will take the necessary administrative measures," he told local radio.

Chinese Daredevil Jumps Under Train and Lives

The man hoped to achieve fame online.  I think he accomplished it.

The 28-year-old performed the stunt one night at a deserted station on the Shanghai subway.

He filmed a train pulling into the platform and jumped onto the tracks as it drew close.

He then lay flat on his back and carried on filming as the train passed overhead.

The whole incident was captured on CCTV.

The train conductor slammed on the brakes and, fearing the worst, went to check under the train.

To his amazement the man he had just run over was standing before him alive and well.

He told him he had slipped off the platform but confessed it was a stunt after he was arrested by police.

He said: "(I thought) if I filmed from under the train, I would get a great view down there as the train passes over.
