Truck Splits Me In Half I Die & I See Angels Holding Me Together #neardeathexperience

The Story
Bruce Venetta, a 36-year-old diesel mechanic, suffered a near-death experience on November 16, 2006, when a 10,000-pound truck axle fell on him while he worked underneath a vehicle, crushing his midsection, severing three major arteries in five places, and causing cardiac arrest. During the NDE, his spirit left his body and floated to the garage ceiling, where he felt perfect peace and watched the scene below without recognizing it as himself. He saw his coworker Leonard crying and two eight-foot angels in white robes placing hands on his crushed body. He observed emergency responders arrive, including a woman named Shannon who slapped his face and called him back, saying 'Bruce, come back.' His spirit returned to his body twice, experiencing intense pain, then left again, entering a tunnel with bright light toward heaven and Jesus, but got pulled back each time by Shannon's calls. God whispered that if he wanted to live, he must fight for his family. After the NDE, Bruce survived over two hours of bleeding, underwent five major surgeries, lost 65 pounds, and received a miraculous regrowth of half his small intestines through prayer, allowing him to live. He spent over a year in the hospital relearning to walk and read, then started Sweetbread Ministries to share his testimony of God's mercy, despite his past rebellion and disobedience.

This NDE features high medical severity with clinical death and multiple cardiac arrests, combined with detailed veridical perceptions from an elevated vantage point, including specific identifications of 10 rescuers' appearances and two unique entry points verified a year later at their meeting. The primary strength lies in the precise, corroborated details of rescuers' actions and arrivals impossible from the body's position under the truck. Limited slightly by the same-location OBE rather than remote access.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
