Where was God on 9/11?



There were 50,000 people employed at the twin towers of the World Trade Center. 2,603 lost their lives. 94% survived.
There were 23,000 people employed at the Pentagon. Only 125 lost their lives. 99.5% survived.
American Airlines Flight 77 could have carried 289 people. There were only 59 aboard.
American Airlines Flight 11 could have carried 351 people. There were only 88 aboard
United Airlines Flight 175 could have carried 351 people. There were only 59 aboard
United Airlines Flight 93 could have carried 289 people. There were only 40 aboard.
(and these passengers overtook the terrorists and prevented the flight from reaching
its target – saving untold numbers of lives.)
Two other planes were to have participated, but they were grounded after the first wave.

In other words, out of potentially 74,280 directly targeted by the terrorists, 2,974 died - more than 96% survived! Then throw in the potential targets of the last three flights that didn’t reach their destinations and you up the survival percentage to…let’s say, 98, 99%?

Make no mistake. God was there!
(That is not to say that we in any way diminish the losses of that day. All of America will be thinking of those who lost their lives and the families who mourn them. God bless you all.)
