Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In a video that will leave you chewing your fist and quietlymoaning, a young Canadian man is seen lying on train tracks as a freighter speeds inches over his head, before scooting out during a split second gap between its wheels.

Like something straight out of Trailer Park Boys or possibly that train scene from Breaking Bad, the man lies flat on the tracks apparently as some kind of stunt.

He quickly regrets it however, having the following haunting exchange with the guy filming:

"Fred, you're f*cked."

"I know, I'm gonna die."

I f*cking imagine you're gonna f*cking die you're underneath a f*cking train...that's f*cking awesome though."

After a worrying moment in which "Fred" claims to be bleeding, his friend suggests he has time to slip out when there are no wheels passing him, which he ultimately does just moments before a set roar through.

Lesson learnt: stay well away from train tracks, you're not Steven Seagal.
