Glenn P. Shoop, U.S. Air Force

This is a WW2 story: GOD answers prayers and changes things.

My crew and I were over the Indian Ocean in a B29 bomber when the left inboard engine exploded in a fire ball - extending over and under the wing, back to the tail section. We used all of the fire control system with no results. Knowing the wing would not last long. I prayed, "GOD, we are doomed. Please help us." In three or four seconds the roaring flames puffed out like a candle blow-out. Reflecting on this, I felt I was on the steps at the gate of heaven and as if GOD said,-- Wait a minute. There are many prayers on your behalf. You cannot come in yet. We landed at Aden, Arabia in one hour.
