'I Lost My Arm & Leg In a Horror Tube Accident' | This Morning

[@firefeethok_tui2355]

I love that she said “i had a very privileged life, you know with four limbs “. So many of us take this simple thing for granted. She’s a lovely lady. And what a great Mom! I could see she struggled to talk about the before the accident stuff. I’m so glad she’s OK. What an amazing woman! Im so sorry this happened.

[@Ramblingpete]

Yes top girl for shaw 👍🏿❤️

[@Ramblingpete]

This is when you love the NHS nice and grateful girl 👍🏿❤️

[@LectronCircuits]

Had a privileged life. We must now speak in the past tense (very grim). Cheers!

[@user_1abc]

Not just 4 limbs but in general - don't take good health and good relations (esp familial) for granted. Needs checks and revisits everyday, every week and month - EVERY YEAR of ur adult life.

[@julianadamico4702]

Some people are even born missing an arm and a leg

[@1stdaughter]

The light inside of her is so very BRIGHT. The smile never left her face. The gratitude never left her voice. What an incredible spirit!

[@erictaylor5462]

I lost me leg when I was 3, so I don't remember that event, but I had an extremely surreal moment when I was around 30 around the turn of the century I ran into a woman who recognized me from high school. He hadn't ever met in school, I think she was in 9th grade I was in 12th, so we had no classes together. But she had seen me and was impressed with how well I got around. She remembered this after losing her leg in a car accident when she was 19. She said I'd saved her life because remembering how well I did, she knew she was going to be okay. It blew my mind that I could have had such an impact on a person without ever actually meeting them or even speaking to them.

[@lynnie9444]

She has such a lovely face and smile, I hardly noticed her missing arm and leg. She is a very brave lady.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Her being hit not once but twice and the length of time she spent on the tracks is the most horrifying part of this

[@DebbieRouse-p7u]

How could anyone not notice her pink jacket or hear her yelling for help. She is incredibly resilient and a very special woman to have survived .

[@katebradbury6000]

Why you didn't stay on the same train the accident maybe not have happened

[@taffycat93]

Her resilience should be a lesson to us all. She's smart, beautiful and she's telling her story. 100 respect! ❤

[@river8760]

It’s crazy that these trains don’t have a type of detection if something or someone is on the tracks! So horrible! She is an amazing person to go through all she has.

[@FourHuskyHomestead]

I suffer with chronic pain & fatigue. Plane crash - spinal damage. So I know how brave and amazing this beautiful lady is. And life is different but it can be so blessed. I’m happy to see her happy and smiling. She has a lovely smile. Going forward pain management is of the highest priority. I’ve been in pain management 17 years. And praise God for it. ❤. May she be bless every day of her long life.

[@irishgirl1753]

Praying 🙏 you are a hero too 👏❤️

[@YouAreTrash.]

when you say plane crash... are we talking boeing size plane or something smaller

[@LornAuArcos32]

The amount of therapy I would need after such a horrific event is astronomical. I would suffer from PTSD forever. And for this lovely lady to be smiling about such a terrible incident is beyond me. What a soldier

[@irishgirl1753]

She would be a great motivational speaker speaker ❤️💕

[@amyfrancis9423]

I'm with you! I guess she has always had a positive mindset.

[@Susanarylander]

[@evangelinereid3853]

I can tell you’re a beautiful soul & stunningly beautiful as well. I’m sorry this happened to you but grateful your alive to show your children strength, courage & fortitude. Your 1st thought was your children. Mothers are incredible

[@mm-ln9sw]

not my american self thinking they meant water tubing 😅

[@Nana-Opa]

American here, I was expecting the tube meant inner tubing down snow on Kilimanjaro.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

I was thinking the rope got wrapped around her somehow 😮

[@MarshMallowMan1976]

Typical London. Everyone in their own world to even notice the woman in trouble. She was on the tracks for 15 minutes before being noticed 😲

[@MrBigMalT]

Came here to say exactly this. Fortunately I don’t often visit the capital, but last time I did, I was navigating the unfamiliar concourse of Waterloo, and literally got taken out by 2 people, both totally wrapped up in their own busy world, who both clattered into me at the same time as they rushed along with their wheeled cases, peering into their phones,

[@vanessaruiz4705]

that's simply impossible. I dont know what really happened but it surely wasnt that.

[@julianajolly9924]

Praise God for positive people like Sarah.

[@kathleennye262]

I too had an accident in March this year..I’m nearly 74 and with my husband we’d travelled home from the airport after a trip to Canada to visit our son, by train ..we got to Farringdon station and I remarked to my husband ,look at that gap and isn’t the train high….he got on the train telling me to wait a minute while he put our cases on. I thought the train might leave so I stepped up with my right leg and my left leg didn’t go up high enough so I fell. My body was on the train my right leg down the gap..I bashed my left leg so hard it was (and still is )very bruised and my knee and shin took the brunt of it.. I went to A and E when we eventually got home to have an X-ray ..nothing broken but I have haematomas in my leg still and walk terrible still..four months later… something needs to be done about this…

[@frankiefranfraser]

Good lord! Thank God nothing worse happened!! Yes! Very dangerous. The new stations, some of brand new Elizabeth line have 2 sets of doors. The station doors, barrier between tracks and edge. Only open when the train is at the platform and stopped opening the train doors. I guessing the planisto eventually have that at all stations and platforms. Scary!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ So relieved you only have a little bruising 😘😘😍😘🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

What an amazing, and lovely person. 20 years ago I had a severe hand injury, and I was so grateful for all the help I received, from the Ambulance people to Surgeons to Phychiatrists and Psychologist's, they were the glue that helped put me back together again. Life is tough but our Spirit is tougher.

Mind the gap……is simply insufficient. In this day and age, that gap should not be there to take the limbs and lives of anyone else. This lady is amazing. She is helping others by raising awareness. She is an inspirational lady.

[@lits3212]

This woman is amazing. So grateful to hear her strength and resilience. There should be sensors and alarms on the tube to prevent this from happening in the future.

This has to be one of the most horrific stories I have heard in my life. Such bravery to have survived this.

[@GoAway-qx4cd]

Give my life for the British people is so natural for me I’m Italian and the heart to this people is so pure beautiful and kindly. It is impossible not to support and from cowards to betray them leaving London alone but looking at them in a sincere way digging inside them you see You understand that it is a people who would like to be happy I confirm to be able to give my entire life to these people because they are simply people who have a righteous soul a very large family value and even if we are completely different the English people are much better than many others in Europe. ❤

When I was a child in the 50s my grandad was friends with a chap who lost an arm and leg in the 1st world war, he ran a smallholding with his sisters and it fascinated me how he managed with heavy metal and leather artifical limbs and gadgets he put on his arm like a hook.

[@jj-if6it]

I'd never heard of this happening before, I guess people don't usually survive. But it could easily happen to anyone in a split second at a wet train station. Wish they were able to make train platform gaps smaller, or put barriers up like they have in Asia!

[@stevenalderley9036]

I'm not altogether sure why in this day and age with the technology and infrastructure capabilities that we now have, why "the gap" is really that necessary. Should there really be any possibility of someone be losing limbs in this way in 2024?

[@nicolad8822]

Legacy infrastructure that takes billions to change.

[@burlhorse61]

will cost a fortune to correct

[@afhb7447]

It's really secure and well made in city where the underground infrastructure are not too old, like Toulouse in France for exemple, that start in 1993, but a lot of big cities have the same old system that's very old like in Paris, I really hope they'll change it too but that's costly and public work are difficult to manage too so... 🙄
