Daughter, 5, Lives After Father Holding Her Jumps Onto Subway Tracks in the Bronx
NBC New York ^ | September 24, 2019 | Andrew Siff and Michael George

A man holding his 5-year-old daughter jumped onto subway tracks in the Bronx during Monday's morning rush, killing himself but thankfully only leaving the child with minor injuries, police said.

The man had the girl cradled in one arm when he jumped in front of the train as it rounded a curve and slowed at the Kingsbridge Road station just before 8 a.m., police said. The man, identified as Fernando Balbuena, was killed by the Manhattan-bound train — but the girl lived, getting trapped underneath.

With the help of two strangers, the little girl crawled her way to safety. One of the good Samaritans said the girl was calling out for her father the whole time.

"Papa, Papa, Papa, that's it. She didn't say anything else," said Antonio Love, who went down onto the tracks with another man to help the child.

She was rushed to the hospital afterward, but after only minor injuries were found the girl was brought home by her godfather to her mother, who expressed gratitude to those who helped her daughter.

"My baby is in perfect condition, thank God ... to the angels who protected her," Niurka Caraballo said in Spanish hours after the ordeal.

She probably doesn’t speak English. At the YMCA I go to I hear russian, Arabic, Spanish. Migrants used to be respectful and try to speak English. Now none of the foriegners care to do so.

Possibilities:

I hope that your sister at some point turned her life over to Christ. In which case she is not destroyed at all. She will be in His presence waiting for you.

Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers, lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.”

A little off topic but after watching that vid and many more i have a question.
Besides African Americans are there any other Americans still in living in NYC?
Besides the elites that is.
In the vids i hardly ever see them...

” He can choose to wipe out the entire earth as He did with the flood. He can choose to wipe out a kingdom and their descendants. He can choose to wipe out a family. You can rebel against your Creator, or you can make peace with Him. ‘

So much for the ‘loving Father’ image!

“It’s not fair. But how would you possibly make it fair? “

You want me to play God?

“I hope that your sister at some point turned her life over to Christ.”

She never had the chance.

“Maybe it had less to do with her and more to do with someone else. “

LOL!

I'm just trying to get you to understand that we are created by Him and there is no point on dwelling whether things are fair relative to others. There needs to be variety.

If she never had the chance to accept Christ, then she is in Heaven. The following two articles might help.

“If she never had the chance to accept Christ, then she is in Heaven.”

After living 60 years as a vegetable ...

Yeah, even after living 60 years as a vegetable.

If she had a chance and willfully rejected Jesus, then no. But if she never had the chance, then she is in Heaven and she has a new body and it’s healed.

In another age, she wouldn’t have survived that long. And she would have been with the Lord sooner. But we try our best to prolong life as I think we should in most cases.

I understand the pain & doubt that comes when someone we love is taken but miracles are not earned they are given out of love of humanity.
Not all can be saved, healed, cured. We cannot know the rhyme or reason we can only be grateful that there are miracles and grieve for those who suffer & die. My sorrow for your loss of your sister, may God hold her in the palm of his hand and bring you peace and the joy of the good memories.

“miracles are not earned they are given out of love of humanity.”

Obviously no love of humanity here
