I hate the word "miracle".

[Radco]

Seems to be a crutch word for journalists when they need to describe an unlikely event or outcome. But it smacks of sensationalism.

I would think that describing the number of times this has ever happened or the odds of it happening would be more compelling, but that would require work on their part.

Surely they were taught to report the facts and leave it up to the reader to attribute divine intervention? Maybe they weren't...
