            So far I have escaped death twice in my life.
Once, when. I had hired a motorcycle at a village to reach the railway station 17 kms away. The motorcycle collided head on with a speeding truck coming from opposite side 
And, the second time, when on my way back home by train from a city, I suddenly decided to change the compartment I was sitting in.I was sitting comfortably, but suddenly decided to change my compartment at the first stopage of the train.
A few kms from the first stopage there is a bridge across a river.
When the train was passing from the bridge , the bridge collapsed and the compartment I was sitting in before fell into the river. Another compartment also fell in the river.
Many persons died. People from nearby villages rushed to help and save the surviving ones.
I was shocked. I saw dead bodies of passengers lying on the river bank.
If I had not decided to change my compartment, I would have been one of them.

                            Welcome back after a long time, my friend.
I agree. I still don't know how and why I decided to change my compartment. I believe it was the Supreme Creator who made me decide so minutes before the bridge collapsed.

                    Are you serious? That's so closed! I thought it could only happen in the movie. That must be so traumatic for you. I hope you get over it. And I am glad you are safe and the other. It sad for those who did not make it.

                            Yes, it happened and I don't know how the thought of changing the compartment came into my mind.Perhaps God wanted to save me. It was really a miracle.
Thank you, my friend

                    I'm glad you survived both accidents. 
I almost drowned once when swimming in a river with friends. One friend pulled me out and gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and saved my life. 
Another time, one of my brothers kept picking me up and squeezing me as hard as he could to make me scream for help. He squeezed me so hard that he caused my appendix to rupture. I had to have emergency surgery to remove my appendix. I was in the hospital for over a week after the operation.

                            I'm so glad you survived. Such things often hap
pen and sometimes someone saved us  Is is just a coincidence?? If it is, then such coincidences show that God wants us to survive 
I wish you stay safe. 
I think we are always in danger. While walking we may be hit by a car, an earthquake may took place, we even due of a heartattack. Anything may happen anytime
If we are alive, it means God is keeping us alive.
Thank you, my friend. Wish you a long, happy life.

                    it is great you survived both the accidents. It is destiny where humans have less role to play

                            Thank you. It is God who made me decide to change the compartment. God saved me both the times. 
Thank you, once again

                            I have been unable to understand why I suddenly decided to change the compartment. Perhaps God didn't want me to die.

                    Well, the hunch was your Spirit Guide nudging you to shift to that other compartment. You were meant to live.

                            @Shivram59 It's therefore said that we must show gratitude and remain grateful for every minor events we are facing in life.
