Miraculous Moments of Narrow Escapes

It's a Good Day to Wear Safety Goggles

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, it feels like the universe is playing a crazy game. Jeremiah wore safety goggles while angle grinding, and boy, was he glad he did. The blade flew, piercing the goggles and the wall, but somehow, he still has his right eye. It's hard to believe he managed to walk away from this experience unscathed, but he did! It's incredible how we manage to make it through the chaos of life.

These images will make you sweat as you witness the unbelievable moments when danger is just an inch away, but it gets worse, as you will soon see.

Karma Is Real

The universe has a funny way of working things out. Take, for instance, the story of this insane car accident. When a driver rear-ended a car and sped away, it seemed like the victim was out of a ton of cash to repair his car. But thanks to his dirty car, justice was served. The perpetrator's license plate number was engraved right in the dirt on the victim's bumper; who could've guessed that would happen?

A stroke of coincidence that helped the authorities identify the hit-and-run driver. It just goes to show that even in the most unlikely circumstances, things have a way of working out.

Whale Statues to the Rescue

In a bizarre turn of events, a tram in the Netherlands failed to stop in time and broke through the emergency barrier. But instead of plummeting into the water below, it was caught by the statue of a whale's tail! It's hard to believe this is real, but the stunning image of the tram precariously perched on the tail is proof. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the driver was saved.

It's not every day you see a statue save the day. It's hard to believe this is even real, but it is!

The Coins That Were Bulletproof

A family heirloom has recently resurfaced, and it's nothing short of amazing. These coins passed down through generations, have an unbelievable story attached to them. During World War 1, they stopped a bullet and saved the life of the owner, the great-grandfather of the current owner! The proof is right there on the coins because you can literally see the indents left by the bullet to this day. It's hard to wrap our heads around.

This was such a close call. Who can imagine living to tell the tale that you had your life saved by a bunch of coins?

Only Seconds Away From Flames Engulfing Their Home

A heartwarming story has emerged from the California wildfires that seem to be neverending. A family who was mere seconds away from losing their home has expressed gratitude to the heroic firefighters who saved their community. As you can see in this powerful photo, the land is scorched inches away from their home. Thanks to the quick actions of those brave men and women, the flames were contained, and their house was spared.

Even in the face of a devastating event like this, somehow there are glimmers of hope that really make us have faith again.

This Is Why Helmets Are Crucial

This harrowing story has surfaced that serves as a cautionary tale to all motorcycle riders out there. This guy was struck by a driver who ran a red light, and it was only thanks to his full helmet that he was able to walk away from the accident with his life. The helmet saved his lower jaw from being completely destroyed and essentially his entire life because his head didn't crack open!

This is a scary sight to see, but we're glad he made it out alive. This is also a reminder to not take any chances with your safety and always wear a helmet.

A Tree Fell on This Truck and Narrowly Missed the Passengers

This is truly an incredible story that's hard to wrap your head around. A guy was driving down the highway when a tree unexpectedly fell onto the bed of his truck.

It's hard to fathom how this happened, but the fact that everyone made it out alive is nothing short of amazing.

The photo of the incident is enough to make anyone shudder. It's a stark reminder that danger can strike at any moment, but sometimes the universe is on your side.

This Guy Walked Away With Minor Injuries After Getting Hit by a Semi-Truck

This guy was in a horrible car accident, and after being struck by a semi-truck, his car was completely totaled, and the damage appeared to be catastrophic.

The resilience of the human body is truly amazing.

This story is a reminder to cherish your health and never take it for granted and also a testament to the importance of always wearing a seatbelt.

This Helmet Saved Him From Shrapnel Going Through His Head

This man narrowly escaped a potentially fatal situation in Ukraine. After being hit by shrapnel, his helmet saved him from what could have been a devastating head injury.

At that moment, he was probably shaking in his boots but was able to survive that dangerous situation.

A Pole Flew Through a Windshield on the Highway

It's like something straight out of a scene from a movie, and it's even harder to believe that the driver escaped without serious harm. Apparently, at any moment, you can unexpectedly be faced with danger.

Either this is a reminder to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best, or trust that the world just works in ways we'll never understand.

Hockey Players Are Tough

Have you ever wondered why hockey players have such intense gear? Well, for this exact reason.

It's crazy how the universe works and how in a blink of an eye, a situation like this could happen, almost changing the course of your life.

This Car Went Straight Through a Home Made of Brick

Apparently, this guy left to buy a late-night snack around the corner at his local gas station and returned home less than five minutes later. But to his surprise, when he got back, a car entirely crashed into his home through the brick wall. His room is the window just to the right of the vehicle, meaning if he decided to stay home and the car veered a few inches over, his life could've been very different.

Who would've known how different the circumstances could've been if things were just slightly different? Quite surreal and terrifying.

This Truck Owner Was Inches Away From Being Crushed

At first, it seems like whoever owns that green truck is going to have a terrible day. But it could have been a lot worse if you think about it. Both of the enormous trees fell over within inches of the truck. Imagine your vehicle being crushed from both sides simultaneously. Even worse if you were sitting in the car! It looks like they narrowly escaped a huge hospital and car repair bill.

It's weird how both trees fell the same way, with the grass and roots lifting, but at least it was a clean fall away from crushing the car.

An Office After the Beirut Explosion

In 2020 there was a devastating explosion in Beirut, Lebanon. This is a disturbing photo from an office building near the source of the blast. The remnants are terrifying; you can see how it scorched this office. The only reason the people who worked there weren't harmed was because they weren't even there in person. Everyone was ordered to stay home because of COVID protocols, and that quarantine ended up saving their lives.

They could've never anticipated this devastating explosion but were probably grateful they had to stay home that day. It was definitely a close call.

That Car Fits Perfectly Under the Fallen Tree

This is another case of how on earth did this happen and how did they manage to make it out unscathed? It seems this tree fell after the driver had already parked and left the vehicle. But it's almost more surprising that this tree fell at exactly the right angle to entirely miss hitting the car. How is this possible? Either way, the owner of that car must be jumping for joy.

This could be a scene taken from a movie all about supernatural forces and magic because that's exactly what it looks like!

Fried Chicken Container Saves the Day

Imagine coming home after a long day and just wanting to sit down and eat your delicious fried chicken for dinner. But you accidentally bump into it, knocking it over your desk. You wouldn't even want to open your eyes anticipating all your yummy chicken now sprawled all over the ground. This could've gone really badly, but somehow, this image captured this box of chicken that defied both physics and gravity.

Apparently, Popeye's chicken has some magical powers because it's mind-boggling that nothing fell out of the box! The chicken was saved.

There's Never a Good Reason to Not Use Safety Chains

This photo looks like trouble. A truck driver was on the highway and lost control, sending the car over the bridge. Now there's no doubt the passengers lives flashed before their eyes. But in the best possible circumstances, the chains that hooked up the RV to the truck saved them. The chains got caught on the bridge and dangled the car so it wouldn't fully fall on the rocks!

Now the people in this car will never be more thankful for towing an RV. It was such a close call for them it's hard to believe they survived.

A Reminder to Be Grateful for Escaping a Flat Tire

This photo just might make any non-believer believe in a higher power because this is insane. This guy noticed something shiny sticking out of his car's tire. Of course, he was alarmed because if he got a flat tire, that could turn really bad. So what was it? Just a mini buddha that didn't even cause a flat tire, thankfully. If that's not a sign of good luck or karma, then what is?

Clearly, this guy had some good karma coming his way because the universe had to send him a sign in the form of a good luck charm!

You Cannot Park There Sir

A group of friends in Haifa, Israel, were hanging out, smoking, and laughing when the unthinkable happened. Out of nowhere, a car fell on top of them. It's a miracle that everyone survived this terrifying incident, which occurred in a part of the city built on the side of a hill.

Thankfully, everyone involved in this accident walked away relatively unscathed, although it's a stark reminder of how quickly life can take an unexpected turn.
