It might seem he was lucky but really he's a superhuman.

Holy shit!

I can only assume the..."lorry" (*sp) kinda lifted up off the ground a little thanks to the speed of the train and that prevented him from being smeared all over that pavement. Those grills or whatever they are on the side of the truck looked pretty damn ominous - I've never seen that type of equipment. Lucky dude.

The second camera angle is so much scarier than the first. When the commentator said there was no time to react, he wasn't kidding. You'd only have time to go "Fu-" and hope you're as lucky as this guy.

There must be some very chilled out people in Turkey,

The driver of the truck didn't see the train.

The driver of the train (I'm guessing) didn't sound his horn

The guy who was hit seemed completely oblivious to the whole situation till the truck was on top of him.

Thats a whole lot of "Im oblivious to to everything going on around me LaLaLa!"

Most of the Turks who live around here are not quite as chilled

Some nights its like GTA V

He must have invincibility frames at startup. I wonder if Samuel L Jackson was driving that train.
