Guardian Angel on Duty!

Although it's not my intention, I'm beginning to sound/blog like a drama
reporter.
Let me tell you of the near disaster that happened here at a train station
in an area called Möhlin in Switzerland.

A young Mother was waiting for the train to roll in - with her was her
6 month old baby in a pram.
When the train finally rushed into the station, the pram was tilt by the
speed of the train, and the baby was tossed out the safety of
the pram and landed in between the train rails ! ! !

According to the newspapers, the baby is alive and well and
escaped the tragedy with only a "bump !"

The Mother was hospitalized - due to the shock of the nightmare.

Strangely enough, when we left our beloved Fuji in the caring hands of
the people who have a dog kennel in Möhlin - before we went to SA for
our Son's wedding in November 2007, we went by train, instead of taking the
car.

We were told to bring the dog to the kennel so she can "sniff out the
area!" before her stay, which we did, but getting back to the train
station, we had to walk down quite a number of steps, and at the bottom
end of the steps, was an alcove.

Before the train arrived I said to Mr. CC , I think we should stand in
the safety of the alcove because when the train speeds into the station,
one can almost feel yourself being knocked off
your feet, from the sheer speed of the great monster.

Eventhough we stood in that alcove, I could feel the strong breeze
of the passing train - it felt as if my hair was blown off my scalp!

Thank the alert angels for protecting the baby on that fateful day, and
as the Germans and the Swiss will say, it was
GLÜCK IM UNGLÜCK - the biggest luck in a badluck situation!!!

amazing.....good thing it was a tiny baby, and could not crawl. No wonder the mother was in shock, I would be too.

I know the train at the airport.....it is a monorail inside for transporting peope to the different terminals, it moves really fast. and if you don't hold on, you will get knocked over.

That was a real miracle, I wonder if the baby will grow up with an unaccountable fear of trains.
