A DRUNK woman escapes death by just inches in this amazing video after falling in front of a tube train.
The woman teeters on the edge of the platform in Boston, US, before toppling over on to the track.
She briefly tries to get back up but appears to knock her head and collapses on her back.
She lies on the track, almost motionless, as the lights of an approaching underground train can be seen.
The woman is totally unaware of what is going on.

As the extraordinary clip unfolds, two men on the platform frantically signal to the train's driver to stop.
He slams on the brakes and brings it to a halt just moments from striking the drunk's head.
Woken up by the train's bright lights she stands up and tries to get back on to the platform — but falls back on to the track again.
She is eventually hauled up on to the platform by her fellow travellers.
The whole nail biting sequence lasts less than a minute.
