On Monday, an Amtrak train in Brookfield, Wisconsin hit a car that was on the tracks.

The 70-year-old man behind the wheel died.

A passenger on the train, Mike Bundy, posted about the crash on Facebook and asked people to pray.

In the comments, he noted that a family member of the man who died reached out to him to say thanks. Bundy later noted the significance of that to a local journalist:

The experience reaffirmed Bundy’s relationship with God. “I’m going through a lot of stuff in my life and I wanted God to show me he is real, and he did,” Bundy said.

Moral of the story: We should all thank God for letting a 70-year-old man die in a horrific train crash so Mike Bundy could preach on Facebook.
