Default Woman walks off subway platform

WTF? Are you THAT oblivious that you can't tell where you're walking? Do you have no depth perception?

That's what I thought at first, but watching the video in the link, it doesn't appear to be the case. She also stated in the interview that she thought the far train was right at the platform she was on, rather than being on the far platform. Watch the vid, she literally walks right off the platform, wil-e-coyote style.

Wait, I've seen this movie... isn't it some crazy plant pollen thing where they're making us try to off ourselves?

She was a dot head-Indian. She looked across the platform and walked. Too bad the other train was 100 ft away.

Haha. Pause it @0:58. Kid looks more fucked up there than when he hit the deck.

Damn.

Though I will say that it can be somewhat plausable. There isn't anything between the train on the other side and the train train she thought she was getting to. I know in the Atlanta trains you have beams and basically a steel beam going down the tracks that you couldn't mistake for being another train. Like a tree between a train and you.

Add a whiny kid in the city, being tired, a very crowded subway, and possibly no husband in the picture causing her to stress about everything else, I can see where hte mistake could happen.
