THE Perth teenager who survived being hit by a train has made a remarkable recovery even attending his school ball.

Miraculously, he only sustained minor injuries – a broken collar bone and some cuts to the face.
Doctors said the teen was very lucky to have survived.

Amazing footage captures tiger sharks and a giant saltwater crocodile eating huge humpback whale carcass in world first
STARTLING drone footage has captured the moment tiger sharks and a giant crocodile dine out on a huge whale carcass off the coast of Australia.
Wildlife experts at the National Geographic say it’s the first time the saltwater reptile has ever been seen feasting on any kind of whale.
A drone captured the predators eating side-by-side on the 50-foot humpback, which was spotted floating near a sandbar off Montgomery Reef, Kimberley.
It is also believed to be the first time the two species have been filmed together sharing any kind of meal.
Dr Austin Gallagher, of the campaign group Beneath the Waves, said he’s been studying sharks for more than a decade and has never seen anything quite like it.

Man run over by 300 trains after driver mistakes his body for a dead fox
A MAN has had to be identified by one of his severed feet still left in his shoe after he was mistaken for a dead animal and continually run over.The victim’s remains were left mangled on the tracks for 14 hours while the Piccadilly Line continued running, The Sun reports.
A train automatically stopped just before 11.30am on December 28 after a rear trip switch was activated. But a manager who went to investigate believed he had simply found the carcass of a dead fox.
The service resumed as normal — and the London Underground now faces claims staff were under pressure not to disrupt commuters.
The blunder meant by the time police were finally called hours later, they were left trying to identify the victim using fingerprints and a severed foot still in a shoe.
The incident happened at 11.27am on December 28, just 160 metres into the tunnel at Holborn in the direction of Russell Square. A manager was sent out to check the area but reported seeing a fox lying dead.

Bill Cosby’s conviction is one of the greatest show business downfalls of all time
RELATED STORY: ‘America’s Dad’ Bill Cosby convicted over drugging and molesting of a woman
From America’s Dad to convictions on all three counts of drugging and sexually assaulting a young woman — Bill Cosby’s downfall is complete.Today he shuffled from court on his cane to the waiting black suburban SUV pursued by news helicopters as he tried to shake the press.
The choice of car and cane (which often didn’t touch the ground) were humble for a man of his means and an attempt to manage a toxic image.
He failed to convince the most important people, the jury, and he’ll likely face an even humbler ride to prison in the near future.
Last year, I covered Cosby’s first trial which ended in a hung jury after six days of deliberations.
