The 400 pounds is even more believable when you realize she’s 6’5” tall according to the story.

Just look at those feet.

A couple who are good friends of mine stopped and prayed before driving across an area on a CO mountain pass that was prone to avalanches. They were swept off the mountain, but survived with only minor injuries, the first people to ever survive being swept into the canyon at that point. They attributed their survival to God’s intervention because they had prayed for his protection.
I pointed out that if they hadn’t stopped to pray, they would have been past the danger section before the avalanche hit.
My analysis was not particularly appreciated.

Perhaps, had they prayed a bit longer, the avalanch would have preceded their passing by. :)

Where on earth does she find clothes? A tent rental company? I’ll bet she feels the earth move a lot-—with every step she manages to take. How the heck does she even walk on her own? How does she manage to get in and out of her home?

Evidently, I’ve just read a minute or so ago, the woman is a nuclear engineer by profession.

Quite true.

The problem, of course, with believing God steps in to personally rescue you, is that you must also believe that when you aren’t rescued it’s because God threw you under the bus.

I guess I really wasn't that hungry after all.

NYC is jam packed with tunnels and vaults. Vaults are portions of a building's basement that extent beneath the sidewalk and sometimes even the street with cars driving over. Some of the structures below your feet might be 200+ years old.

I'm an engineer in NYC and know for a fact certain blocks have completely hallow sidewalks. I've even seen private tunnels constructed across streets. Most likely used to transfer materials between stores or factories to avoid all the traffic above.

The building owner is technically responsible for maintaining or filling in these spaces but it is typically not enforced unless someone gets injured.
