8 Newborns Who Survived the Impossible #7 Will Bring Tears In Your Eyes
#1 The newborn baby who was rescued from a toilet pipe in China
A newborn boy is recovering in a Chinese hospital after being rescued from a sewage pipe below a squat toilet by firefighters, who sawed off an L-shaped section and then delicately dismantled it to free the trapped baby.
It was not immediately clear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide.
#2 The baby who was found crying in the morgue 12 hours after being declared dead
Luz Milagros Veron a name that means "Miracle Light" in English is a strong one year old baby with an amazing birth story. Doctors said the baby showed no signs of life when she was born three months premature, and quickly sent her to the morgue. She's alive today because her parents insisted on seeing her body to say goodbye. After 12 hours inside a sealed coffin, she moved and let out a tiny cry. She was cold as ice, but far from dead. Since then, Luz Milagros has grown and become stronger.
The parents had planned to name the baby Lucia Abigail, but changed it to Luz Milagros after the incident.
#3 The baby who survived after being buried for 24 hours in an armadillo burrow
In 2006, in a bizarre case, local police found a newborn baby abandoned in an armadillo burrow in a small town in the southern part of Brazil. The baby spent up to 24 hours inside the armadillo burrow before he was discovered. When found, only the baby boy's head was sticking out of the ground, the placenta was still attached to his body, and a group of flies had gathered around his head.
#4 The newborn who survived a fall through a toilet onto train tracks
In what has rightly been declared a "miracle," a newborn baby girl survived a fall onto train tracks in India after being born in the train's lavatory. Pregnant woman Rinku Debi Ray was travelling with her husband and four-year-old to her parents' home in Bihar, where she planned to deliver her second child, when she felt sharp stomach pains.
#5 The newborn who survived an eight-story fall after being tossed out by its mother
A newborn baby miraculously survived an eight-story fall after he was tossed down by his mother. The frantic mother tossed her newborn baby down a chute in order to get rid of him without anyone knowing.
#6 The newborn who survived a collision that killed its mom, dad, and big brother
On a Sunday night in March 2012, Gabriel James Wilcox was born shortly after 10 p.m., weighing a little less than 7 pounds and measuring 19 inches long. Two days later, the infant became an orphan when the car that his parents, Marty and Elisa Wilcox, were driving was involved in a head-on crash that also killed his 3-year-old brother.
#7 The baby who survived a bullet in the chest and going without food or water for three days
When one couple in Argentina thought the world was going to end due to global warming, they decided the best thing they could do to protect their children from such a terrible fate was to end their lives. To that point, Francisco Lotero and Miriam Coletti shot their two-year old in the back, their seven-month old daughter in the chest and themselves in the head. Three days later, police showed up after a neighbor let them know about the terrible odor emitting from their apartment.
#8 The miracle baby born two weeks before the legal abortion limit, who clung to life against all odds
At 18 months old, Amillia Taylor is already entering the terrible twos. She is, her parents say with a smile, a "proper little madam." However, it's a fighting spirit which has served Amillia well, because this bright, beguiling toddler was born just 21 weeks and six days into her gestation - a whole two weeks before the existing abortion cut-off.
She is the world's youngest premature baby ever to survive, and the image of her tiny feet poking out between the fingers of a doctor's hand were used to support calls for the lowering of the 24-week legal limit on abortion. When she arrived, Amillia weighed less than 10 oz and was just nine-and-a-half inches long, with skin which tore like rice paper.
The only reason the baby received treatment was because the mother desperately lied to persuade doctors to try to save her
