This picture was taken in January of 2009 in New York City. The people lived!!! The pilot was a hero and even "60 minutes" had an episode about the crash and rescue. What would it have been like to go through that experience and come away alive? I remember flying home to New Jersey from Florida right after 9-11-2001; the flight was very, very turbulent, so bad in fact that a stewardess lost her lunch. During the landing the plane bounced so high that one of the wings came within an inch or so from hitting the ground. God allows things to happen for a reason as this verse from 1st Samuel will illustrate.1Sa 17:37 David said, Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. Saul said to David, Go, and Yahweh shall be with you.
World English Bible
David had seen What Yahweh can do and then had the confidence to face the nine foot tall Goliath. God allowed for danger to come into David's life (and to mine, by the way) to mold him into someone he could use. I know that David thanked God for his deliverance because it is in the book of Psalms and that is exactly what I did the moment we landed safely in Newark. Now, having said that, I wonder what the people on the wings of the plane were doing... ah, you know already!!!!!!
