Holy mother of.... Has anyone read about this yet? That baby was soooo lucky! I bet the mother is gonna have a death grip on that stroller from now on.

(http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_au_an/as_australia_train_hits_baby - broken link)news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_au_an/as_australia_train_hits_baby (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_au_an/as_australia_train_hits_baby - broken link)

MELBOURNE, Australia – Police in Australia say a 6-month-old baby has miraculously survived a train hitting his stroller that had rolled onto the tracks.
The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet (40 meters) along the tracks before it stopped.
Security video footage released Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform and onto the tracks. The mother panics as she looks back and sees the oncoming train hit the stroller, but the baby boy survived with only minor injuries.
Victoria state Police Sergeant Michael Ferwerda called Thursday's incident a "lucky escape" and said people should be cautious in train stations.

I saw the video of that on TV earlier this morning. It was absolutely a miracle that baby wasn't killed!

I just seen it on the news. The mother should go to church every day and light a candle. That baby definitely had an angel watching out for her.
