MEIZHOU, CHINA — Humans are a rather ingenious species with a special knack for doing the extraordinary—this however is not one of those times.<br /><br />According to a clip posted on Miaopai, a boneheaded selfie couple from Guangdong province had the fantastic idea of trying to film themselves posing next to some train tracks, in order to catch a train speeding by directly behind them. <br />Apparently, Thing 1 and Thing 2 positioned themselves a bit too close for comfort next to the tracks. <br />As the locomotive zips past the couple of the century, it clips both of them, introducing their faces to the ground in front of them. <br /><br />The two survived their meet and greet with the train. The female was taken to a hospital where she was treated for some broken bones. The boyfriend was not seriously hurt. <br />As for the train, it looks like it will continue choo choo-ing along.
