A father's courageous attempt to save his twin daughters after their pram rolled onto train tracks in Sydney has resulted in a heartbreaking loss. The man, identified as Anand Runwal, 40 years old, tragically passed away along with one of the two-year-old twins at Carlton Station near Kogarah in the city's south. The incident occurred yesterday when the couple was getting out of a lift on the platform and the pram rolled onto the tracks.
In a shocking turn of events, Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the US presidential race. This news has left many in disbelief and has caused quite a stir. Meanwhile, the other twin has miraculously survived and is being treated at St. George Hospital along with her mother, Punam Runwal, who has now been discharged. The Indian community, to which the family belongs, has come together to support them during this difficult time as they had only moved to Australia last year.
Flowers and messages of condolences have been left at the station in memory of the father and child. One heartfelt message read "hero dad, angel baby," showcasing the love and admiration the community has for the brave father who sacrificed his life for his children. The family's last moments were caught on CCTV footage, showing them looking happy and relaxed before the tragedy struck.
According to NSW Police Superintendent Paul Dunstan, it seems that the parents' hands slipped off the pram for a brief moment after they got out of the lift on the platform. It was in that moment that the father made the courageous decision to jump onto the tracks to save his children. Sadly, a passing train that was not scheduled to stop at the station struck and killed the father and one of the children. Police arrived at the scene and rescued the other child while investigations are still ongoing.
Witnesses at the station described the harrowing scene, with many still in shock. Lauren Langelaar, who was at the station at the time, shared, "The father has jumped down to try and grab the children and the pram and as he's gone to lift it up onto the platform the train has just come. I was lying on the platform screaming out the husband's name. I could only hear one kid crying, not two." The tragic news has also reached the father's school friends, who have expressed their condolences on social media.
Sreyas Gopalakrishnan Thottarath, a school friend of Mr. Runwal, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, saying, "Dear friends, it is with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news of the untimely passing of Anand Runwal and his daughter. Our deepest condolences go out to their family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time." This unfortunate incident has also caught the attention of NSW Premier Chris Minns, who lives nearby and has described it as a "terrible, terrible tragedy."
