I read earlier that the pilot did something that kept the plane from plowing into the grandstand instead of just in front of the grandstand.

If this is true, and the pilot wasn’t in control, it was God who kept the plane from plowing into the grandstand.

'it was God who kept the plane from plowing into the grandstand.'

What? He kept it from plowing into the grandstand, but couldn't or didn't want to move it away from the ten killed and others injured?

I’m careful anymore before ascribing too much credit to God for such graces, inasmuch as if he really felt like helping he could’ve kept the plane from crashing in the first place. :-)

One of my pastors was 100 ft. from impact. He said the same thing, that he was looking straight up at the plane coming right at him when it suddenly disappeared from his sight and a split second later he saw it crash in his peripheral vision.

The pilot experienced a 9-10g positive roll. He was unconscious. Period, end of story. And yes it is very fortunate the plane made that move in the last second.

They always say that regardless of the circumstances.

But I'm sure he would have avoided the crowd if he could have.

Oh, please, he had a control stick right there no matter if his seat fell back.
