Video: Man Vs. Metro

by Meg Nesterov (RSS feed) on Feb 26th 2013 at 2:00PM

Ever been on a subway train so slow you thought you could walk there faster? A man in Paris decided to see if he could run from one metro station to the next, catching the same train he just got off. With a camera strapped to his head and friends documenting his race from the street and the train, the anonymous Frenchman tries to run between the Cluny-La Sorbonne and Odéon stations. The stations are close together, but he has to navigate a busy street crossing, stairs, and the turnstile when he re-enters the metro, plus, you know, outrun a train. Watch the split-screen video to see if he catches the next train.

This is great, though I so wish the guy actually beat the tube, he got stopped by that nasty barrier, I'd be so tempted just to vault it just the once!
