A miracle indeed!
He has my respect for accurately pointing out the role God played in that event.
It's at moments like that, when the liklihood of all those freak occurences happen, one after the other, that you know that God plays a very active role in our lives...

So what causes shallow water blackout? Does it have to do with the length of time a breath is held? Or?
