I know I am absolutely obsessed with this story. It's the Monroe bullshit hill I would die on, but it's just the most extraordinary
bleeping nonsense.
Her description doesn't make sense. If she fell facing the train, as would be logical, upper body strength wouldn't help her because her arms would be behind her, perhaps in the manner of someone lounging in a swimming pool. Which means she fell facing the platform which...how? She walked backwards off the platform and fell... straight down? That doesn't make sense, you'd just walk into the train and, at worst, one foot would go off the edge, surely?
But then her arse saved her, so how did upper body strength become involved? If her arse was at upper platform level, her entire body would be above the platform. Did she claw wildly at an alarmed passerby?
As I've recounted before, I'm sure you all remember gripped as you no doubt are by my missives, I once fell onto a tube train. My flipflop got jammed under the step and so I went forwards like a plank into the carriage. So it is possible to fall into a train. Off of a train seems equally likely. But under? Under the train?
