Man Barely Survives A Massive Car Accident, And Weeks Later He Realizes What Saved Him

9-miracle-car-accident
If you think about it, the word “miracle” gets thrown around too often. It’s frequently applied to silly, insignificant things, or to situations that have perfectly reasonable explanations.

Every once in a while, though, something positive happens that, on a purely logical level, should not have occurred at all. Perhaps there are varying degrees to which things can be considered miraculous, but what other word is there to describe something so wonderfully inexplicable?

That’s the situation in which one Imgur user found himself. He was involved in a gruesome car accident, but what ended up happening to him was truly nothing short of a miracle!

The Queen has presented the Duke of Edinburgh with a rare honour as a special anniversary present as they celebrate 70 years of marriage.
As the royal couple reached their milestone platinum wedding anniversary, Elizabeth II appointed Philip a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) for services to the sovereign.

Libya will investigate alleged slave trading in the country, the internationally recognised government announced Sunday, following the release of video footage appearing to show migrants being auctioned off.

Chaos-ridden Libya has long been a major transit hub for migrants trying to reach Europe, and many of them have fallen prey to serious abuse in the North African country at the hands of traffickers and others.

US television network CNN aired the footage last week of an apparent live auction in Libya where black men are presented to North African buyers as potential farmhands and sold off for as little as $400.

Call Of Duty: WWII reader’s review – Reader’s Feature

Call Of Duty: WWII reader’s review - Reader’s Feature

A reader, and long-time COD fan, offers his verdict on the story campaign, Zombies mode, and multiplayer of WWII. Call Of Duty is a franchise that has certainly had its ups and down the past couple of years, not helped by three year development cycles that has meant the past five titles have been near future or futuristic with 3D movement.

And while many have called the franchise ‘dead’ online, (despite Black Ops III topping 25+ million units last year) the news of a return to its roots this year was met with euphoria all across the community, old and new And with the news, as I’m writing this, that Call Of Duty: WWII has broken the record for the best-selling digital full game on PlayStation 4, and has surpassed $500 million worldwide in it’s opening weekend, it seems it’s been a hit. Although World War 2 isn’t anything new to the franchise, it sure is a refreshing change of pace. A necessary one, and I’m glad to tell you that it’s a great game. Although the campaign isn’t great, the multiplayer sure is.
