Google Earth, unites a family

Guys! Prepare yourself for an amazing story about a man, who managed to reunite with his family by using Google Earth after 26 years.

This persons name is Saroo Brierly, who is an Indian born Australian who got lost from his family on a train when he was only 5 years old. While he was traveling with his brother on the train he fell asleep and when he woke, his family were not there and he had entirely no idea where they had gone.

Briely was lucky though, only a short time after he was declared a lost child he was adopted by the Brierly family of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. He grew up surrounded by memories of his old home back in India thanks to his adoptive mother's support and care.

Many years later Briely actually tried to find the train station where he had gotten lost from his family. By using Google Earth he managed to find his old home town and even his family's house.¨

He travelled back to India and when he got to the house he used to live in, he ran into his mother and was reunited with his family.
