The plane crash on the Hudson river..a miracle?

[Ace Otana]

that was very helpful thankyou, man, I didn't think planes actually got taken out by flocks of birds! I did some pilot training (youth group in canada) and thought it was a myth.

Confirmed a guess, another gratz to the pilot though, landing a plane like that on water.

I've taken pilot training too.

Turns out birds can quiet easily take out an aircraft's engines. It's happened many times before, which is why it's so important to keep birds away from airfields.
All civil aircrafts are very capable of gliding, no matter how big the aircraft.

These pilots were trained for this kind of event and so this amazing outcome was done by the total professional skill of the Aviator. God had nothing to do with it.

I find it very funny that god takes the credit for all the good things but not the bad. Like why would god allow the birds to fly into the aircraft in the first place? God takes the credit when paramedics save someone's life, god takes the credit when firefighters put out fires, god even takes the credit when people like you and me save others. Why doesn't god take the credit when tornados rip through towns? Why doesn't god take the credit when there's flooding that ends up taking lives? Humans cannot control these kind of things, but if we could, we would of prevented any kind of event that may end up taking lives. God is suppost to have the power and yet he does nothing? God doesn't seem that much of a hero to me. More like an arsewhole!

It's because people would rather see the credit given to their imaginary friend instead of those who truly deserve it. paramedics are true heros, not god, Firefighters are true heros not god, pilots who save lives through their skill and care of others are heros not god.
