A Boro Park yungerman experienced a remarkable instance of hashgachah pratis following a helicopter crash in Europe that claimed the life of the pilot shortly after the avreich had disembarked.

According to the account, shared by Bechadrei Charedim, the yungerman had traveled to Poland, where he boarded a helicopter from Radoshitz to Kretshnif in Hungary, apparently to visit kivrei tzadikim. After the pilot set him down at his destination, the helicopter departed, making its way back from Hungary toward Poland.

Shortly thereafter, the aircraft crashed, and the pilot was killed.

The yungerman, who had been aboard the helicopter just minutes before the fatal crash, emerged unharmed. The margin between the yungerman’s safe arrival and the tragedy that followed was a matter of minutes.
