I read that story, too. They were on traveling on the opposing traffic bridge, got stopped in the traffic and saw the wreck, rolled up with their forklift and said “what can we do to help?”.

Our military is a special group of people.

I give BMW some kudos for engineering a car that helped keep this family alive.

God was busy elsewhere and sent the Seabees to help. Thank Heaven for the US Military.

It's a miracle that they survived. It had to be a H.O.G. [Hand of God] as we like to call it here.
