Thought you might enjoy this ping, FRiend.
Anybody else would have just pushed her the rest of the way out the window, and duct taped over the hole? /s
It’s nice to have some good news when you consider all the rubbish circulating today.
Bump!
Probably not.
But there appears to be a God shaped hole in the Human Psyche.
Many Christians have reported on the sense of calm and purpose their faith gave them in times of crises.
if she had hit a duck and it was New York, she would have a movie deal.
Nothing to see here.

The headlines should have shouted that the pilot is a Christian. Instead, they didn’t.
If she had augured the plane into the ground, or if it came out that Sully was a raging atheist, it doesn’t change a thing.
God is in control.
Luke 13:4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
John 9:1A he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
No, of course not, but many a man or woman faced with a very risky and uncertain situation, react in ways that may not be helpful to themselves nor, in this case, the souls on board. This woman, whose faith is probably the most important thing in her life, reacted with skill and confidence despite the risk, not fear and uncertainty. did her hope of life (eternal with her Lord, or just plain temporal continued) make a difference? Maybe, maybe not, but I’d bet on the skilled and faithful over the skilled and hopeless every time. Seen it first hand too many times. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Now, unlike some “faiths” where bad stuff is simply “god’s will”, Christians love life and want to save life rather than just shrug and say “imshallah”.
Like the burned Egyptian soldier whose commander refused to let us medivac him to Cairo West, since the American Army pilot was not a Muslim.... He died in our maint bay, screaming till the end. Bright Star 94.

She did a great job. But I would not call her a hero. Any pilot worth a pound of salt could have landed that plane. By design the plane could easily land with one engine. This on a totally different scale than the pilot who landed his plane on the Hudson with no engines. He was a hero.
the good news is that we stumble across good people and heroic people in our lives...Thank God for that..

That’s a great photo, this lady has it all together.
Two co-pilots...good one.
“God is my co-pilot.” 1945 movie.
Thanks, it’s the first thing that came to mind and remember that from when I was a kid.
until you understand the semi-automated ditching mode of the Airbus he was piloting. Sully did a great job, truly. just know the airplane helped him a good deal.
That’s marriage material, right there....
