Just moments before, Sheena Dowe, 22, had left her baby son Amause with a friend in the dining car and taken the friend's toddler to the toilet in the sleeper. When the crash rocked the train, Dowe immediately pushed her friend's son out of the bathroom and screamed at him to run back to his mother. Then the door slammed shut, trapping her within. Meanwhile, as baggage flew and bodies tumbled, June Bonnin, 47, was trying to save her wards. The co-proprietor of an elegant bed-and-breakfast in Nesbit, Miss., was with her daughter Ashley...

My first response to my friend's decision to leave Hungary was to advise her to stay another day, to wait things out, to see what happened. Things would be all right, as they always have been.
