The successful operation done by the firefighters pulling a truck driver to safety is no less than a miracle (“Truck driver pulled to safety after crash leaves vehicle dangling over bridge across Ohio River,” March3, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, the three-vehicle crash on the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge connecting Louisville, Kentucky to southern Indiana was reported around noon, Louisville Fire Chief Brian O’Neill said during a press conference. One other person involved in the crash was immediately taken to the hospital and crews set up to rescue the truck driver from the cab.

The incident of a crash that left the vehicle dangling over a bridge across the Ohio River, and the brave efforts by firefighters who played their best part to save the precious human life, is the best example to illustrate that life and death is in only God Almighty’s hands.

The time of human departure from this world is fixed. Nobody can die a second before or after the time Almighty has fixed for him or her.

Hats off to the brave efforts by firefighters who performed their duties during the rescue operation professionally, honestly and saved a precious human life.
