Hi everyone, welcome. Welcome indeed. I'm Murray Stewart, your presenter and host, and this is Blind Magic in Alice Springs, brought to you by Blind Magic Communications. This is episode 1025.

In this episode, we discuss a recent tragedy in Sydney where a gust of wind caused a pram with twin girls to roll onto train tracks, resulting in the death of a heroic father and one of the twins. This heartbreaking incident raises questions about safety and the preventability of such accidents.

We explore potential solutions, including the redesign of rolling stock like prams and wheelchairs using AI technology to prevent them from ending up on tracks. The episode also touches on past efforts to innovate safety measures, such as alerts for children entering water, and calls for engineers and manufacturers to step up and create safer designs to prevent future tragedies.
