Captain Dale Black, a TWA pilot with over forty years of flying experience, was the sole survivor of a devastating plane crash that should have killed him instantly. His injuries were massive and extensive, requiring thirty-four operations to repair the damage. The medical team considered his survival miraculous given the severity of his trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene but experienced something extraordinary during that time.
During his death, he found himself rapidly approaching a magnificent golden city among resplendent colors, with beauty beyond words. He witnessed a huge gathering of millions of angels and people in worship. The grass was pure and perfect, with colorful wildflowers and a gentle, sweet fragrance permeating everything. Majestic mountains stood in the distance. His experience was like being in a three-dimensional movie multiplied by ten thousand, with his body elevated above ground and moving effortlessly with boundless energy, feeling stronger and healthier than ever before in his life. Music filled the atmosphere everywhere, with worship of God as the heart and focus. He experienced overwhelming peace and automatic understanding when he had questions. He understood that God's Word was the foundation for everything, with God being the heart of heaven, His love, will, and order pervading all. He saw streets of literal gold and was approaching pearlescent gates when he suddenly returned to his body. The EMTs had pronounced him dead instantly at the crash scene. His doctor later verified his medical records, confirming the miraculous nature of his survival. After recovery, he dedicated his life to flying thousands of missionaries and helping others, earning a PhD in business and establishing jet pilot training programs.
