The BBC is reporting about a miracle that happened to save a life in the explosion during he terrorist attack in Manchester last week.
Surprisingly enough, perhaps, the miracle happened via a smartphone.
According to the BBC, Lisa Bridgett was using her smartphone when the attack happened. A nut from the bomb would have hit her and killed her if not for the smartphone she was using at the time. The nut went into the phone and its path was diverted or slowed down and only injured her.
While I am skeptical the smartphone was the source of the miracle, as a kosher phone could have done the same, as could have a book or many other objects, and it was probably more something in her personal life that made her worthy of the miracle and the phone she was using was just the medium through which the miracle manifested itself, one cannot but appreciate and smile at the humor in the BBC headline, at least from an Orthodox Jewish perspective in which smartphones are not exactly considered worthy of meriting a miracle.
