Scott and SadieHave you ever done something you immediately regretted?
A 40-year-old man from Hungary is lucky to be alive after clinging to the side of a BULLET TRAIN for 20 miles.
It was zipping through Germany last week and had a scheduled stop halfway between Munich and Nuremberg. He stepped off the train to smoke a cigarette, and didn’t get back on before they closed the doors.
He saw it leaving, so he jumped onto a bracket connecting two of the train cars . . . then held on for dear life as it hit 175 miles an hour.
Someone saw him, and officials stopped the train. He said he did it because his luggage was on board, and he didn’t want to be separated from it.
He’s facing charges for “an act disruptive to operations,” and he also didn’t have a ticket. So he boarded illegally in more ways than one.
