  7. it is true that miricels happen bye god

  8. Late at night without much traffic since it’s the holidays. No skid marks on the side of the road to alert police of a possible accident, truck was speeding and jumped the stream and lay under the bridge on the other side; sounds like DUI. The fishermen were scouting the area for the start of fishing season in the spring and found the wreck. If the fishermen didn’t have free time to look for fishing holes in the winter, the headlines might have read next spring; “Fishermen find skeleton in wreck truck”.

  9. It's great that he survived and was found, but let's not ignore what had to be involved in his ending up there in the first place.

  10. I always get worried this will happen to me.

  11. GOD HAS KEPT YOU HERE FOR A REASON GO TELL OF HIS MIRACLE.

  12. We need each other. Period.

  13. There was no way they went down there to fish in that water. This was known as a hook up spot for man on man meet ups. Many are married men.

  14. glad guy is ok but people drive way to crazy in indiana tailgating speeding etc always in hurry to go nowhere

  15. Did the fish n game check these 2 for fishing licences?😅😅😅😅

  16. God. Less those angels! ❤

  17. Sir, you are not allowed to park here.

  18. Call it what you want but I call it devine intervention and these two are ambassadors of this! These are stories that need to go viral!

  19. Curious, and as an EMT for many years, why does it take 243 first responders to extricate and transport one individual?

  20. MUST HAVE BEEN DRIVING VERY FAST.

  21. God sends angels our way in many forms

  22. Dang that dude owes those guys his life, "literally"

  23. There was an I Survived story like this.

  24. Thanks to the 2 spanish fisherman the found him a live thanks

  25. That was all God's grace and mercy

  26. PRAISE GOD!! HALLELUJAH! GLOOOORRRRYYYYY!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!! WHAT A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!! ❤🙌🥰💯👏👏😁

  27. 6 days, yes that is an Actual miracle. Thank God it rained for him. Enjoy your life bro, his first meal after that was the greatest thing he ever tasted in his life.

  28. These are the small miracles that we never see coming, happening all around us every day. Dodge right, one slippery step from death. Dodge left, one precarious step from stardom or infamy. And we all ride safe in the middle. Best wishes all.

  29. Lllloi😊😊àp m l

    ZOR
    . ❤

  30. 🎄thnx for the Merry Christmas, you angelic fishermen! And so glad you lived, rest and Godspeed✨

  31. This man clearly had God looking after him. He’s been given a second life.

  32. @NBC NEWS I know we in the Midwest are just Flyover Country to you, but "Northern Indiana" covers quite a bit of territory! WHERE in Northern Indiana was this overpass on I-94? Can't you give a more detailed and precise location? I finally heard the reporter say, "Portage, Indiana." Why not put that info into a banner on screen somewhere, easy to see and understand?

  33. တံငါ ပိတ်မိနေတယ်။
