I watched a video about a historical event, and after doing some research, I found out it was true.
Here’s the story:
This is the story of the "church choir coincidence" that happened on March 1, 1950, at the West Side Baptist Church in Beatrice, Nebraska. The church choir, made up of 15 members, was scheduled to meet for practice at 7:20 PM that evening. The choir was known for being very punctual, with nearly everyone showing up on time for previous practices.
However, on that particular night, all 15 members were late for different, unrelated reasons:
One person overslept after taking a nap.
Another's car wouldn't start.
Some were held up by schoolwork or household chores.
Others were delayed by various last-minute issues.
Amazingly, at exactly 7:25 PM—just five minutes after practice was supposed to begin—the church exploded due to a gas leak. The explosion completely destroyed the building, and if the choir members had been inside, they likely would have died.
The surprising part is that all 15 choir members were late for different reasons on that very night.
My question is: Could this be the greatest recorded coincidence in history, or was it a sign of divine intervention?
This event is often seen as one of the most incredible coincidences ever, with no lives lost despite the tragic timing.
In your opinion, was this a coincidence or a miracle?
