AHMADABAD, India-

This story is pretty darn crazy and shocking. It was supposed to be just another train ride for a young Indian woman named Bhuri, who was on an overnight excursion with her family. Bhuri hadn’t expected so much excitement would follow her on her travels. Late in the evening, nearing the midnight hour, Bhuri excused herself to the restroom. Two stops later family members began to worry because she had not returned, so they went to check on her. They knocked on the restroom door and Bhuri opened it covered in blood. She had sat on the toilet and given birth 10 weeks premature to a baby girl, who then fell into the toilet. This sounds really bad and you’d expect her to quickly pull the newborn out and seek immediate assistance.

Well, in India, it’s not quite that simple. Because in India, toilets on trains are typically open holes to the tracks below, and on this particular train this was the case. After the delivery into the toilet, Bhuri immediately passed out and was not revived until she heard the knocks on the door.

This is where the sad part of the story typically starts, but on this particular night this newborn baby girl’s guardian angels seemed to have been working overtime. After two hours on the tracks, she was found, alive and in decent shape.

The moral of the story: NEVER EVER walk on train tracks in India.
