U.S. Air Force officer shot down in Iran says he prayed while "free-falling" to the ground behind enemy lines

The Air Force colonel needed help when he crashed over a mountainous part of Iran's desert, separated from his crewmate, the pilot of the F-15E, after being shot down by Iran in April.

The U.S. aviator free-fell to the ground at an estimated 70-100 mph; the Iranian shoulder-fired missile had damaged his parachute. He was the backseater, the weapons-systems officer on a two-man crew with the mission call sign Dude 44. The pilot was Alpha; he was Bravo.

"At one point when I looked up and saw no parachute, that was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen," Bravo said in his first public account of what happened. "So I paused, right then, and I prayed, 'Lord, your will be done. But if I'm getting through this, I need help.'"

Help took two days to come. Bravo, who broke his back, an arm and a shoulder after hitting the ground at such high speed, hid and survived two days behind enemy lines before his rescue. He calls it a "modern-day miracle."

"I believe that it's a testament to God's provision in my life to bring me through that moment in a way that didn't prevent injuries, but prevented any catastrophic injuries that would have affected my ability to survive," Bravo, identified by his mission call sign due to security threats, said.

All his other xtain colleagues that prayed to ur god and died you didn't write epistles about them, the outlier is the one he must take credit for. Ironic thing is if this guy had died like many other christain colleagues before him, we won't hear any of it. Christains are being chopped down like meat in the north while calling on same god, no peep. The odd one survives, all glory to god. It's laughable.

He was on a mission to bomb and kill same humans "God" created.

He was just lucky. He should rethink his life choices.

Christainity is indeed the colos made in the lab for the masses

U.S na Baba

If any enemy of U.S pilot get shot down inside America

That country cannot enter U.S airspace to rescue him

Iran useless
America fighter jets and helicopters dey enter their airspace to and fro, are they crazy?

What kind of security is that

Iran just dey suffer their people for nothing

You’re wrong brother. Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism (China) are the colos made in the lab to serve as antidote to that one particular cancer that we all know. The drug is being actively used by countries such as the US, Israel and China. If this drug wasn’t existing, the cancer would have taken over the entire planet and everywhere would have been a mess😂
You learnt something new free of charge today. Don’t thank me

SkengRay:
What Particular cancer is that sir? I seriously don't know enlighten me sir.
