Nakalingakawas sa Kakuyaw nga Nagumikan sa Dakong Bung-aw

A school principal was saved from massive sinkhole. Pamela Knox  doesn’t remember exactly how many times she has driven down that  street near downtown Toledo, Ohio, but she knows it’s been a lot.   Then on Wednesday, while returning home from errands, her 2010  Chevrolet Malibu suddenly plunged into the dark. “Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus!”, the 60-year-old Glendale-Feilbach Elementary School principal  recalled saying as she felt the car continue sinking.

The good news was Knox realized that she was able to move and to open  her door. The bad news was she realized her car was filling with water  from a large pipe right below the street that had broken open, pumping  water into her vehicle.  “Oh my goodness,” she recalled thinking.  “They’re not going to get me out of her in time.”

Knox decided not to look at the water that was gathering in the back  seat, and the firefighters who responded decided to drop a ladder to  get her out from the 10 feet sinkhole.  They told her to get ready  because the car was continuing to sink and she needed to get out  quickly. “Open the door!” one rescuer called to her as a firefighter,  tethered to the surface, descended the ladder.  “Quick, quick, quick,  quick! Come on out, come on out! Hurry! Come on, come on, let’s go!  Go, go go!”  Knox got out of the car, climbed the ladder and was out  in less than a minute.  She was unhurt. Knox, who prays regularly,  attributed her rescue to her faith in Jesus.

“I know that’s what really kept me alive, was calling out his name,”  Knox said Thursday.

Nahagsa ang Abyon sa Asiana

by Atty. James Lobedica

Incidents like the recent Asiana Airline crash in San Francisco  Airport, U.S.A is shocking to note. Indeed, no one can tell us when is  the time to depart for good from this troubled world.

What is comforting though is that most passengers survived,  two died  and about two dozens more unaccounted of the trip consisting of 291  passengers and 19 plane crew from Korea.

When it is your time to bid  adieu, then you cannot prevent it? Life  is   amazing. It is full of surprises. Life is what we make it.
