Episode 45: The Choir
Mystery Category: Miracles / Synchronicities
The Story: In 1950, a church explosion in Beatrice, Nebraska, should have killed fifteen people. We look at the impossible series of delays that kept every single choir member away from the building at the exact moment of the blast.
Perhaps some people are born lucky. . . and then there are others, who have singular experiences that can be described as, well, miracles. That seems to have been the case for fifteen people in a small Nebraska town in 1950.
