Miracles and Miracles

Lately all we learned from the news were sad and gloomy stories. Most of them were works of incompetent and greedy humans. The ones who undertook exotic and complicate business thought the sky was the limit. They caused many innocent people lost their lifetime savings, jobs, and maybe dignities too. The current malaise in world economy had certainly put many of us in disbelief and despair. Then, BOOM! The commotion that jolted passengers of a turbojet out of their comfortable seats not only saved everyone on board of US Airways Flight #1549, it also ignited hopeful feeling in me that miracles can happen anywhere at anytime.

Thanks to the good Captain Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger for his heroic action that made this miracle to happen. Then what a humanitarian person he is. He also put himself in a dangerous situation twice to ensure no one was left behind in a sinking airplane.

I also feel the miracle on Hudson River in New York City has happened at a no better time than just days before the inauguration of the country’s 44th president. Perhaps it is a good omen for the new president. Let’s hope President Obama and his team will soon bring the world peace, love and prosperity. - Ayee
