TWO SYDNEY good samaritans may have pulled Margaret Cornell and her two children from their blazing car on Easter Monday, but it was a sprinkling of Holy Water in the family Commodore that Ms Cornell believes really saved their lives. A shaken Mrs Cornell said yesterday she believed God had a hand in the miraculous escape of her and children James, 14, and Enya, 8, when their car crashed and burst into flames on the F3 Freeway.
The Cornell family attended an Easter vigil at a Revesby Catholic church on Saturday, where Mrs Cornell was given two satchels of Holy Water.
"On Sunday we were driving to get petrol and one of the satchels started leaking, so I used it to bless the car and then I put the empty satchel in the side pocket of the back passenger door," Mrs Cornell said.
That door was the one that the Cornell family were dragged through when the three other doors failed to open after the car burst into flames on the freeway the next day.

Weird!
Is she sure it wasn’t a gas can and not the Holy Water?
Well, they were hot at one time, but I don't know about "burning"......
Doesn't sound like it did the car much good.

"Doesn't sound like it did the car much good."
Given the overall outcome, the Cornells might have a slightly different opinion.
