Well, at least it wasn't in the Transbay Tube -- a woman went into labor on the steps of the Berkeley BART stop today. With triplets. Watch where you're walking this afternoon! People at first ignored the woman's cries for help (when asked about this, a BART spokesperson hypothesized that it might have been because she "looked homeless"), but finally, a Berkeley High School teacher on break ran up and caught the first of the woman's three premature babies in his t-shirt. The teacher called an ambulance, who took the baby to Oakland's Children's Hospital, and then transferred the mother to Alta Bates, where she had the other two triplets. All three babies are all doing well. BART, ever budget-conscious, noted that "We do not have any plans to give them lifetime passes at this point." Meanwhile, folks, be a pal and give up your BART seat to that nice pregnant woman struggling to stay upright as the train speeds to MacArthur. Do you want to give up your t-shirt to save her child? more ›
