I don't normally take joy in the misfortune of others, but in this case I must ask for forgiveness. When I originally heard this story I had a feeling of an almost miracle happened, but then didn’t.
Before I get to the article, let me set the tone:
To make a football (American style) analogy: Imagine your team is down by a few points with less than a minute left in the Superbowl and the other team has the ball and is on third down, needing only a yard for the first down and then they can just down the ball to run out the clock, game over... looks hopeless.
The quarterback calls “hike” and hands the ball off to his best running back who only needs that one yard for the first down... but he bobbles the hand off and the ball comes loose... you naturally get very excited at jump to your feet, adrenaline surging, heart rate racing, imagining the possibilities... you watch the ball bouncing around on the ground… It pops into the hands of one of your players! More adrenaline and excitement!!
