Baby Survives Fall Through Train Toilet Onto Track
Baby Survives Fall Through Train Toilet Onto Track

AHMADABAD, India -- A newborn girl fell through the toilet in a moving train and onto the tracks moments after her mother gave birth prematurely, surviving nearly two hours before being found, relatives said Thursday.

The infant's mother, who uses the single name Bhuri, was traveling with relatives on a train when she went to the bathroom shortly before midnight Tuesday and unexpectedly gave birth, said Arjun Kumar, her brother-in-law.

"Later, she fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," he said. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door."

Bhuri opened the door, soaked in blood.

"When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks," Kumar said.

2. I remember the first time I went to the bathroom..
on the train. I didn't know it opened to the tracks and when I glanced down. I got vertigo while trying to hold on to my purse, lift my sari, and keep my balance while the train was rocking. I am surprise this doesn't happen more often.
