NO, it was not a "miracle", it was pilot training and redundancy design in case of failure. If the plain had crashed and everyone had died would it still be called a "miracle"?





Now, I will say it was "amazing" that nobody on the ground was killed by the falling debris. But survival or death isn't a matter of magic, but mere conditions of many factors.
You are looking at the word miracle in one of the meanings...which implies something supernatural, as in a god.  There are other definitions.

Check out "a highly improbable..." and "an amazing..."

Not godspeak.  

Some words have more than one meaning.  You can add that you language confusion.
