[quote=Anonymous]Not ZERO - but the house that I lived in as a kid had a short steep driveway directly across from a house with a very steep driveway sloping down -- with a street in the middle. I was sitting in a wagon and a "friend" pulled the wagon up our driveway and then let go of the handle. So, handle dragging -- so I could not in any way control the wagon - and backwards -- so I could not see, the wagon shot down our driveway and into the street, headed towards the neighbor's very steep downward sloping driveway. Just as I rode backwards into the street, a city bus turned the corner. My Mom said later that she glanced out the window to see the wagon in the street, then all she could see was the bus. She didn't know if I had ended up smashed into the door at the bottom of the neighbor's driveway or crushed by the bus. There was a narrow sidewalk just before the steep slope of the driveway began -- and that exact spot was where the wagon stopped. I had other near misses as a kid, but that's the one that feels the most like a miracle -- because the consequences could have been terrible, and the chance that the wagon would stop by itself in just that small spot seem small. Given the location, by the time the bus driver saw me, they probably would not have been able to stop the bus. So I escaped two potential tragedies in that one moment. So not "zero" but this feels very much like a miracle for me. [/quote]
