The Twin City Bridge that collapsed was designated as Bridge 9340.  The 9340th verse in the bible is 1 King 17:22.

 

After asking Richard McGough for some help in researching the statistical odds in finding verses that have either their chapter and verses either the same or in reverse order of their gematria, he reported the following 4 verses:

 

1 Ch 24:18 = 2418

 

And there are three that are reversed:

 

1 King 17:22 = 2271

Jer 18:5 = 581

Jer 22:14 = 4122

 

Out of all 4 verses, only 1 Kings 17:22 makes sense without the surrounding context or further research.

 

Since there are 31,101 verses in the whole bible and only 4 verses match the criteria, the odds of a match are:

 

7775.25 to 1

 

Looking at the word in the Hebrew Strong’s yields another significant result:

 

7775h = cry (for help)

Those verses are some powerfully comforting verses when facing a tragedy.
