She told an Argentinian TV station: 'I suffered a sudden drop in blood pressure and fainted.

'I don't know how I'm still alive. I'm still trying to make sense of it all.'

A witness to the incident said: 'This girl has been reborn. It's a miracle.

'We were waiting for the train and suddenly she fell onto the track. Amazingly it was just a scare.'
