Reply #87: Not only is it an insult to the pilot [View All]

[skepticscott]

to suggest that this was a "miracle", as opposed to the result of training, skill, dedication and cool-headedness in a crisis, but it's also an insult to the crew who got everyone off (despite undoubted cynicism after delivering yet another in a long line of ignored safety briefings), and to all the people who rushed to the rescue in dangerous conditions. Not only that, but it's an insult to all of the people who fought hard for airline safety regulations, and to the people who built the plane well enough to survive the crash in one piece.

A "miracle"? That would have been if some unseen hand had stopped the plane from crashing into the water at the last minute and carried it safely to dry land. Funny, but that sort of miracle never seems to happen Even if it did, the media would probably call it a hoax.
