Miracles

Moses parting the Red Sea was a "miracle".

Captain Sully Sullenberger landing a jet plane on the Hudson River and evacuating all passengers to safety was a "miracle."

Joe Flacco, in the 2012 AFC Divisional game against the Denver Broncos, on a 3rd and long at the Ravens own 30 with 43 seconds left and no timeouts, connecting with Jacoby Jones for a 70 yard touchdown pass to tie the game and send it to overtime....that was a "miracle."

59 people dead and over 500 injured in the worst mass shooting in modern US history is in no way, shape or form a "miracle."

President Trump said Tuesday that the quick response of law enforcement during the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history was “in many ways, a miracle.”

“Look, we have a tragedy. What happened is, in many ways, a miracle,” Trump said as he departed the White House for a trip to Puerto Rico on Tuesday morning. “The police department, they’ve done such an incredible job. And we’ll be talking about gun laws as time goes on. But I do have to say, how quickly the police department was able to get in was really very much of a miracle. They’ve done an amazing job.”
