Exactly. If air travel is to become safer for small planes like this, you don't chalk it up to luck. You insist on better pilot training and better technology. God is a term with the same placebo value as a rabbit's foot.

BINGO. Humans have a very selfish need to sex up reality with fantasy and delusion. Yes, for that individual girl any compassionate person would be happy she survived, but there was no magic or divine hand involved.
