A senator unintentionally demonstrated his point about train safety when he almost got struck by a locomotive during a speech.
Richard Blumenthal, who is a Democrat from Connecticut, had been talking at Milford Metro-North station when a train whistled past at a high speed.
The force of the Amtrak train was so much it caused him to stumble and a chart he was holding nearly fell over.
Ironically, the train had almost hit him at the exact moment Milford mayor Ben Blake had said: 'Safety, as you know, is paramount.'
Senator Blumenthal had been campaigning for greater accountability from Metro-North railway after it was revealed it had paid $552,000 (£328,904) in fines in the last decade.
The politician's close call with the train happened on Friday.\metro\
