Look at the picture below and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail, right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was traveling.
Now look at the 2 ND picture below...
If this guy didn't believe in God before, do you suppose he believes now ?

I can't see the 2nd picture, but my imagination can fill in the blank.
While I will concede that the laws of physics may be able to explain the truck's movement, I'll say the miracle is that the truck went through the guardrail at the exact spot, at the exact momentum, and at the exact angle necessary for it to land where it did. (I can think of other things that would have to be exact, also.) If any of those elements were changed by the tiniest fraction, the result would have been disastrous.
Sometimes it's just easier to accept that God may have had his angels working overtime!
Physics or no physics, miracle or no miracle, God controls both..Since physics is unexplainable to me, I call it a miracle of God.. Either way I thank God that everyone was safe
If those pictures are an accurate representation of what happened here, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you here, b. frank.
If that truck was driven by me or one of my kids, it most certainly would be a miracle that we were still alive.
Regardless of who was driving, physical laws determined the truck's final position.
All we have is photos to go on but I can only believe that the truck had a certain chance of falling over the edge based on speed, velocity, weight, etc. and the chances of landing in that precarious position won out.
Now, if I saw the truck topple down into the cliff, and then fly back up to land on the edge, I would have to admit that something other than physics was in play. But I have not seen that and I doubt anyone has.
Every time you get in your car and drive somewhere, there is a chance that you will suffer a horrific accident.
Is it a miracle every time you arrive at your destination safely?
