The selfie footage of the moment an Indian man was apparently struck by a train went viral, and was reported by media around the world.

As reports emerged that the man had suffered head injuries, it even prompted a statement from the Indian Railways Minister, warning of the dangers of the selfie-taking craze on Indian railways that has spawned the term “killfies.”
