Union Square Subway Baby!

Everyone’s favorite sitcom/police-drama plot just happened today: a baby was born at NYC’s Union Square subway station with the help of beat cops. (Just heard it on WNYC radio, tho I don’t see it reported online yet, but I’ll link soon.) (As of this posting, 6:13pm EST, Bruner Blog has scooped Google News, NYTimes.com and Reuters.com on this story.)
:-)

Here now is the story on NY1.

Back in 1989 or so, I interned for a summer at WOR-TV’s news department (Channel 9 in NY’s market). A generally miserable experience, tho I did get to go out and cover a few stories (tho nothing of my contribution appeared on camera aside from my hand holding the mike). One story I covered was the same thing: healthy baby born on subway. Positively life affirming.
