GLOWING CRUCIFIX APPEARS TO RAIL WORKER BEFORE HE IS HIT BY TRAIN SPEEDING AT 100 MPH
Rail worker killed by train ‘had seen a crucifix appear in the track and said “God wants to tell me something” before he and four others were hit by 100mph freight express’
The final social media post from one of the five railway workers killed in a 100mph train collision in northern Italy overnight has revealed that he had a premonition that something would happen after saying he saw a ‘crucifix in the track’.
Michael Zanera, 34, posted a short clip to TikTok a day before his tragic death showing a glowing red cross that had formed during the welding of railway tracks.
‘God definitely wants to tell me something,’ Michael, from Vercelli, wrote less than 24 hours after he and four others were killed by a train while working on the Turin-Milan railway line. ‘It’s the first time it’s happened to me while welding the rail,’ the post said.
The devout Catholic wrote before the tragic crash that he had ‘been calling [to God] every day lately because it’s not a good time for me’.
The railway workers had been conducting overnight maintenance works when the train transporting wagons on the Milan-Turin line hit them at over 100mph (160kph)
The men had been working late at night welding train tracks. As they were busy going about their job an oncoming train headed straight towards them at 100 mph, killing most of the team of workers and throwing their bodies hundreds of meters into the air.
Seeing that cross glowing in the dark must have been a huge comfort to the young Italian at a time when he was needing God’s support. And it shows not only how God is omnipresent, but he was reaching out to Zanera as he went about his work to let him know He was hearing his calls. And in this case, was calling him home.
While this story brings some consolation from such a tragedy, Zanera’s ability to find God in his moments of difficulty shows the power of faith, and the need to always reach out to Him, in good and bad times.
