I do believe that there are people or beings that appear just when we need them, they (the rescuers and the woman) were frustrated and losing hope. The appearance of this man just when needed to calm and inspire them was amazing. I am glad for her that he helped.
Yeah. The people in the crash and the 1st responders were probably not the only people driving on the road.
If it was to be a real miracle, why didn't the priest just wave a stick and part the steering column/wheel away from her torso, kinda like Moses and his stick?
There are quite a few ways of getting into a damaged car. The portapower and it's attachments (what drama queens like to call "jaws of life", which is actually only one of the attachments to the tool) were my fave tools. Not much can withstand 20+ tons of push.
From the article. . .
The Hannibal Fire Department showed up right after that prayer with fresh equipment and was able to finish the extrication. After getting Katie safely into the Air Evac helicopter, at least a dozen of the rescue workers turned around to thank the priest who was no where in sight. The highway had been blocked for a quarter of a mile during the hour and a half rescue, leaving no bystanders and no parked cars nearby. Lentz' family and friends are amazed by the story.
So the highway is the only way to get to the highway? Interesting.
"Where did this guy come from?" Lentz's friend Travis Wiseman asked. "We're looking for the priest and so far, no one has seen him. Whether it was a priest as an angel or an actual angel, he was an angel to all those and to Katie."
"We would like to find this gentleman and be able to thank him," Reed said. "As a first responder, you don't know what you're going to run into. We have a lot of tools, and we have intensive training. In this particular case, it is my feeling that it was nothing more than sheer faith and nothing short of a miracle."
Two witnesses have described the priest to KHQA. Click here for description.
Katie has undergone surgeries to repair several broken bones. She is scheduled for more surgeries in the coming weeks, but friends and family say her spirit has not wavered.
"Both of her legs are very damaged," Lentz's friend Amanda Wiseman said. "Her wrist is broken, several broken ribs, so she's had a lot of broken bones to deal with."
OK, so the angel came, comforted the victim, and couldn't be bothered to heal her broken bones?
Gee, thanks, angel!
Yeah, huh? Where's the sense in that? "ok, I'll make her feel better free her from the car so she can maybe die in the hospital".
Anyway, yeah, people can call it a miracle, I'll simply call it
possibly inexplicable.
