A Spare Part on the Freeway: Miracle Story

Broken down on a freeway with a uniquely shaped radiator hose that couldn't be bought anywhere nearby, one stranded lecturer hitchhiked straight into the arms of a random driver carrying a pile of spare hoses — including the exact rare part he needed. This improbable miracle story questions just how random "random" really is. Running late for an evening lecture, Dr. John Ashton's uniquely designed car hose burst on the freeway, spewing steam and leaving him stranded with a part so specific it wasn't a simple, standard hose. Feeling strongly impressed to hitchhike rather than wait, he flagged down the only car on the freeway at that moment — and the driver happened to have an entire pile of spare radiator hoses in his car from an unrelated clean-out, including one that matched Dr. Ashton's rare part perfectly. Within minutes, the repair was complete and he made it to his lecture on time. In this episode, you will hear: The unusually shaped radiator hose that burst on a busy freeway The strong impression to hitchhike instead of waiting for help The one car on the road that happened to be carrying spare hoses The exact matching part found in a pile meant for something else entirely Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ2TB-CeuL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
