A Lifesaving Text Message
||
One week after the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti, a miracle was created by a text message, which saved a life.
A student was successfully rescued by aid workers after he had sent out a text message. The student was trapped in the rubbles of his collapsed university in Port-au-Prince for six days.
We call it a miracle not only becasue of the lifesaving text message he sent, but also his tenacious vitality. As we all know, the prime time for rescue is 72 hours in the wake of an earthquake. After that, the hope of survival diminishes greatly. But he survived after nearly one week. We cannot say it was not a miracle.
