Man Says He Was Saved By Angels After Being Crushed Under Semi Truck

Bruce Van Netta, a diesel mechanic, was working on a Peterbilt tractor when all of a sudden the jack holding up the truck was knocked out of place, dropping the 12,000+ pound tractor on top of him.  

The width of his body was flattened to less than an inch as the truck lay on top of him. With a broken back, and under unimaginable pain, he went unconscious, and then opened his eyes to what he describes as angels standing around him.

Five major arteries were completely severed.

A medical study by the University of Southern California, showed that no one who’s ever sustained that much damage to five major arteries has survived.

Going by all logic and medical records, he should have been dead.

Miraculously, Bruce has since made a full recovery and lived to tell this chilling tale.
