She said she is still in shock.
Last week, we told you about the baby whose stroller rolled into the path of an oncoming commuter train. Miraculously, the baby survived with only a small scrape. Now his mom tells her incredible story to the "Today" show.
"It was maybe just for a fraction of a second, I just took my hands off from the pram, and it happened so quickly, in the blink of an eye," Shweta Verma, the 29-year-old mother from Australia, told Matt Lauer. "Before I could get hold of the pram handle, it was off the platform."
The engineer saw the stroller fall in front of his train and put on the brakes, but the train rolled another 100 feet before coming to a halt.
"I was [in] complete shock," Verma told Lauer. "As soon as the train stopped, I ran toward the platform where it stopped, and there was this young guy who came and offered to help. And he was going to get down off the platform and then, I told him that I want to come along.
"We both went down under the train on the tracks, and as we were approaching toward the pram, I could hear [my son] crying," she said. "I was relieved and feeling that my boy is alive. My son is alive. And he's crying. And to my knowledge, crying is good.
"The second thing I noticed is there was no bleeding or blood of any sort," she said. "That was better, and then my only concern after this, that he shouldn't have suffered any internal injuries."
Verma concluded: "He is destined to do something, something good, something great in his life. That is why God is there, and I [give] thanks to him again and again. Now I don't let him out of my sight."
