A video shows a man narrowly rescuing a baby from getting hit by an incoming train.
A video purportedly showing a man jumping down onto a train track in order to save a baby in a stroller from getting hit by an oncoming train went viral in June 2017: This video was originally uploaded by Instagram user @Tinto_bro on 26 May 2017. Although @Tinto_bro did not explicitlyÂ say that this footage was fake, his brief Instagram bio says that he creates video with â€œgraphics and interesting editing.â€ Sure enough, his account is full of digitally edited videos: Â < Â A post shared by Ð˜ÑÐ°ÐµÐ² ÐÑ€Ñ‚ÐµÐ¼ (@tinto_bro) on Jun 1, 2017 at 11:00am PDT Â > In addition to the source of this video, the footage itself also contains a few clues indicating that it is a forgery. One of the most glaring mistakes (other than the lack of panic from the two actors) is the â€œheroâ€™sâ€ shadow as the train approaches. If you look closely as the train approaches, you can see that the manâ€™s shadow on the train tracks instantly vanishes and does not match the characterâ€™s movements:
