Joyce M Judge gave birth on a Boston subway train yesterday. The former nurse refused help from her fellow passengers - "They couldn't do anything on the train so I thought it was better to get to the hospital" - and this was, after all, her third child so she reckoned she knew what she was doing.
Still, there's perhaps being too nonchalent. Quoth a witness:
"I saw a head, then full baby fall out from her skirt, hit the floor sideways and slide the length of the doorway, stopping when he bumped up against the next row of seats. Still she stared out the window. Either she didn't know it happened or didn't want to acknowledge it."
