    Forget Balloon Boy, Today's All About Train Baby

    If Balloon Boy and his family were looking for publicity, they'll find it's fleeting. There's a new amazing tot on the horizon, and this one survived being hit by a train.

    This poor Australian mother must have had a stroke when her 6-month old's stroller, which should have had its brakes on, rolled on a train's tracks and was promptly hit. Thankfully, the child escaped relatively unscathed.

    Some say disaster was averted because the baby was strapped in, but we prefer to think it was a vehicular miracle.
