It's on par with the so-called moon landing but that's more a function of improved technology than anything else. You hardly need a Hollywood studio for this type of **** nowadays.

Re: Guy escapers from under a moving train.

Yeah it's not like there's CGI or anything, it's just the careful merging together of two video from the same spot.

1. Record the traing going by
2. Record the dude in the exact same spot after the train has passed, matching up his motions to the first footage.
3. Profit.

The camera isn't as important as the video editing software IMO.

Re: Guy escapers from under a moving train.

I don't think it is fake. I work in the rail industry. I've been a freight train conductor and now I am a yardmaster. Nothing in that video looks fishy to me. Stupid yes...but nothing impossible.

In my youth I used to work at a theme park. When the park would close we'd ride the roller coasters and have a contest. You start the ride in the very back seat of the train. When the train returned to the station the goal was to be in the very first seat of the train. Its not hard to move from seat to seat when the roller coaster train is moving slow. If the freight train is moving slow enough(and it looks like it is) there would be plenty of time to escape from underneath it.

Lay down on the ground and measure how far you can move in a couple of seconds.
