By The Associated Press


MOEHLIN, Switzerland - Reports today of a miraculous survival in Switzerland.


Swiss police say a baby suffered little more than a bump after being blow onto railway tracks and being run over by a train.


The incident happened Wednesday in the northeastern Swiss town of Moehlin, close to the German border.


Police say the six-month-old was in a buggy when a strong gust of wind blew it off a platform and into the path of an oncoming train.



"There wasn't much left of the buggy," said Bernhard Graser of the Aargau cantonal police

That's a lovely story. I was so horrified when I read the first few words, and then greatly relieved to hear the little critter was sound and well.

Kinda reminds me of the scene from Small Change where the baby falls out of a several-story window, its fall is broken by a bush, and the baby rolls over several times before ending face up, giggling1

This story reminded me of a movie called "Unbreakable" with Bruce Lewis. Did anyone watch that movie? I think it is so amazing that the baby survived virtually unharmed. What a miracle it was!

Wasn't that, like, based on a true story....?
