Do Miracles Really Happen?

By now everyone knows about US Air 1549 pilot “Sully” Sullenberger’s textbook ditching in the Hudson River. Was it a miracle? Even those that don’t believe in God have to recognize a miracle when they see one!

Cousin Mike says it was a miracle, all right. “No one died, the passengers standing on the wing appeared to be walking on water, news of the ditching knocked Obama out of the headlines for 24 hours, no one in government could take credit, and no one claimed it was George Bush’s fault.” I can’t argue with that logic!

Mike also sent a timely link to this story about another successful ditching, this one involving PanAm flight 943 in the Pacific in late 1956 with no fatalities or serious injuries. Another miracle? You bet! It’s another good story worth a read. And watch the video at the end taken by the guys aboard the Coast Guard ship that just “happened” to be in the area to rescue the passengers and flight crew.

Nope, you can’t tell me miracles don’t happen!
