Sadly, the babies, Jameson and Jackson, were born without eyes, according to a Fox 30 news report.

The report states that such a birth defect is the result of a condition known as anophthalmia and it affects approximately 780 new-borns in the US each year.

Jameson has only his right eye, but his brother Jackson cannot see at all.

The family has started a GoFundMe account in order to raise money for rising medical costs.

3 trains run over here, and she lives

New York: It’s a story of amazing presence of mind, bizarre circumstance and just plain luck.

That combination kept 22-year-old Mary Downey alive as AOL reports she escaped being crushed by not one, or two, but three trains, in quick succession.

At 6am on a Sunday morning she stumbled onto the tracks as a train was pulling in, but then squeezed herself between the rails just so that the train could go over her.

Before she could move however, two more trains passed over her.

AOL reports that the conductor of the third train noticed her waving. Downey suffered a broken shoulder which she apparently broke when she fell from the platform.
