Video: Girl has near miss with passing high-speed train The subject of the video, a girl by the name of Christa, is encouraged to stick her head out of the train window for a photo opportunity. But as she removes her sunglasses and smiles at the camera she seems unaware of an oncoming train on the opposite track. With a split second to spare as the speeding train passes, the young woman pulls her head back into the carriage and collapses on the floor, clearly in shock at her near-miss. The 30 second film which was uploaded to YouTube has been reposted several times with the headline 'Why you should never stick your head out of a train window'
