1) Sleepy Train Driver
A train driver fell asleep this week. In itself that’s not much of a story, except she was driving the train at the time. The incident took place at O’Hare International Airport station in Chicago, the driver admitted she only woke up when the train ploughed into the escalators. This was the second time in recent months that she’d fallen asleep at the controls. I’ve got a feeling she doesn’t have a job anymore.
32 were injured but no one died, which was pretty lucky. The incident happened at 3am so the platform was mercifully empty. Here’s the insane CCTV footage… RUN!!!!
