A speeding train does not create suction that pulls people onto the tracks; instead, the high-speed train creates a powerful wall of air that pushes objects parallel to and away from the tracks, as demonstrated by MythBusters' experiment with a 200-pound dummy in a stroller at 80 mph.

Will a Speeding Train SUCK You In? ππ¨ #shorts #science #mythbustersAdded:
Can a speeding train actually suck you onto the tracks? It's a terrifying urban legend, but the MythBusters had to test it. They placed a heavy 200-lb dummy in a baby stroller right on the danger line. Then, they sent a massive train blasting past at 80 mph. The sheer force was devastating. It instantly shattered the stroller and slammed the heavy dummy face-first into the concrete. It looked completely lethal, but the high-speed cameras revealed a massive twist. The dummy wasn't pulled in at all. The data proved that the brutal wall of air actually pushes everything parallel and away from the tracks. There is absolutely zero inward suction.
