Woman’s baby slips into train tracks, survives with minor injuries

This is the craziest thing I’ve seen all day. On Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, a woman’s stroller carrying her 6-month-old baby slipped directly into the path of an oncoming train. The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.

The Transport Accident Commission of Victoria premiered this 3-minute PSA across all three major network channels in Australia (Channel 7, 9, and 10) on Wednesday, February 20, 2008. The PSA was a chilling reminder to all drivers that speeding is the number 1 cause of vehicle-related accidents in Victoria. The video uses a cover of “Pictures of You” (originally by The Cure) sung by Angie Hart, and according to Melbourne Metblogs, she cried when she saw the ad for the first time.
