Anybody else would have just pushed her the rest of the way out the window, and duct taped over the hole? /s
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.
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.
