An Israeli woman laid herself on the tracks just before a train roared through a crossing in an apparent suicide attempt. But seconds after the train passed, she got up and walked away almost unhurt.
The incredible scene was captured on the closed circuit security TV system at the Kfar Vitkin level crossing in Israel's north.
The video shows the woman calmly approaching the tracks and lying down between them. The train passes over her at high speed, and then she gets up, picks up her shoes and walks to her car.
One report saidthat police had not yet found the woman. Another said she had been taking for treatment.
