Minneapolis, MN - A Frum בחור'ס (bochur's) Miraculous Survival
Story at Bridge Collapse
'August 2 Pinned News'
Minneapolis, MN - An incredible story has just surfaced from yesterday's
tremendous catastrophe of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Roman Koyrakh, a frum Shomer Shabbos college student, was saved
from a life-threatening situation with only a few bruises to show for it.
VIN News has just conducted a dramatic phone conversation with the
20-year-old bachur, who provided minute details of the
hair-raising, miraculous incident in an exclusive interview. At about 6
o'clock Wednesday night, his car was stuck in traffic on the north side of
the bridge, at the water edge. "There was a loud bang, and my car buckled
suddenly. Dust and smoke shot up all around and the next thing I knew I
was falling, plunging headfirst." His airbag was activated, and his car
was hit several times, and then jolted to a stop. "There was water, water,
everywhere", he says. Rushing into his car, the current pulled his car
directly into the river below. Certain this was the end, Roman said
Shema Yisroel as he was thrown to and fro like a rubber ball. His
mind blank, pure instinct took over, and he subconsciously managed to
escape from his seat belt and car door. Submerged in water, he maneuvered
his way out like an obstacle course, but not before swimming over to other
victims to offer assistance. He only scrambled for safe ground once he
realized his own danger in the precarious situation. Koyakh was
transported by ambulance to North Memorial hospital where he was
pronounced lucky to be alive, and only needed stitches on his face and
arms.
Roman Koyakh has been living in Minnesota for many years and is an active
participant in the local community kollel. "Hashem saved
me," he told VIN news. "There's no other explanation for such nissim."
Boruch Hashem, he has suffered no lasting effects from the
accident, and knows of no other Yid involved in it either. His
main worry, he confessed, is that he had to miss last night's gemara
shiur at his evening kollel program.
