Do you think God was watching over this baby :-)

what the hell?!?!?! she must have been squeezing out a big one! (excuse me but its true!)  how do you not notice giving birth??????

Wow!! surely you'd notice???

Luck was definatly on her side. Im more shocked at the idea that you go to the toilet and it just emptys onto the track. UGH!!!

I think it was very premature. 

>Im more shocked at the idea that you go to the toilet and it just emptys onto the track. UGH!!!

As far as I'm aware our own trains are like that too - that's why there was always the notice about not using the toilet while the train was in a station ...

Unfortunately this is not uncommon.
I have been asked to do tests on several babies born down toilets when their ( usually very young) mothers, suffering colic-like feelings, pass an unexpected baby. A huge shock - even though some of these young girls know that they are pregnant, they had no idea of what constitutes labour.

two months is very early but surely you;d notice? its still a largish thing through a fairly wee hole... (lol though with my guts i might not...thanks god there are no babies in the offing)

I had 2 of my babies early 1 was 8 weeks and the other was 10 weeks and they weighed 2lb 10oz and 2lb 5oz, so they were small but not small enough to not know you had actually given birth (i had c-sections so cant say for sure)

Quite right JG, I used to ride the train to work and spent many mornings having to stand near a pile of human waste. It was very disgusting!

Surely thats against the law.
Sewage isnt allowed to be put in the sea, surely the same reasons aplly with trains. The waste needs to be treated

>Surely thats against the law.

Nope! And aircraft 'empty out' at altitude so that 'it' falls to earth, frozen!

It does say:

Kalbi, a 33-year-old woman from a village in Rajasthan, fainted on the toilet seat after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family.

Jeangenie

I can assure you that all aircraft , wheather pressurised or not , do not empty the toilets in flight . The toilets are emptied between flights at the airports .

Also , many women feel like they want to empty their bowels when giving birth as the baby presses on the bowel when being born . Many years ago women were given enemas in early labour to prevent faeces  coming out ahead of the baby ( as it has a tendency to do if the rectum is full during labour ).
i was delivering the baby of a lady from China who couldn't speak English , and she delivered her baby into a cardboard bedpan . Not a nice way to enter the world , but not uncommon .

GAD I feel old. I was one of those women given an enema YEAR AGO!!!!! Its NOT that long ago! my daughter is only 28yrs old!! 

HA HA HA me too!!! my eldest is 26....the enema was worse than the birth LOL. I felt like I was dying.....

>I can assure you that all aircraft , wheather pressurised or not , do not empty the toilets in flight .

Malfunctions can occur!

OMg thats just crazy- glad the lil girl is ok :)

Re the aeroplane toilet question, I can confirm that they certainly do not flush in flight.
Think about it logically.
International Standard Ambient conditions dictate that temperature falls by 1.98 degrees per thousand feet. Let's take an average day in the UK of 15 degrees. That means at 35,000 feet the temperature is going to be around -54 degrees. In truth it will not be that cold, but take it from me it will not be far off. If the "flush in the air" myth were to be believed, there will be thousands of lumps of frozen human waste dropping on the good citizens of the world. The speed at which it then falls (remember Isac Newton with his 9.81m/sec to terminal velocity?) means it will not have time to reach it's surrounding ambient temperature as it descends, and so will remain in a frozen state. The thought of lumps of frozen waste being dropped on the world at the discretion of the aircrew is indeed an interesting one.
The waste from aircraft toilets is deposited into sealed tanks contained within the pressurized aircraft. Upon landing these toilets are then "dropped" into specialised container lorries, and then transported to the usual destinations (no not Blackpool beach).
The CNN article you refer to is probably due to waste leaking around the outlet pipe during emptying, and then not being drained off. This would then have frozen, and dropped off.
I have over fifteen thousand flying hours on commercial aircraft, including Boing 767s/757s/BAe 146/F27/HS 748 etc etc, and have yet to find the famous toilet emptying switch in the cockpit.
