. to attribute the outcome of US Airways Flight 1549 to "God" detracts from decades of NTSB and FAA examination of accidents and steady regulatory improvement to flight safety;.
Don't forget, on July 19, 1989 Captain Al Haynes crash landed a DC10 in Sioux City, IA. 185 of the 296 souls on board survived. The failure that caused the crash was "mathematically impossible". After it happened, the NTSB replicated the data of Flight 232 and not one of the 57 crews they tested in the simulator could control the airplane all the way to the ground.

It all goes back to unemotional, impartial, scientifically-based empirical science. Societies that recognize that prosper; societies that don't wallow in misery. Ralph Finch
