"It was truly a miracle. There are no other explanations for it," said
Gerald’s mother, Beverley Ducatte, a Virginia resident who viewed
pictures of the mangled plane on CNN.

A miracle is an event that occurs even though it is impossible. This
event was not impossible, therefore it was not a miracle. They were
lucky.

If they had as much brains as they have religion, they never would
have had the accident in the first place.

Mr. Ducatte, a chemist at Battelle, has a basic pilot’s license and has
been flying a few years. He said he is thankful for his flight
instructor, Chuck Miele.

Mrs. Ducatte said she is glad that her husband was so skilled and that
emergency crews worked so quickly to find them.

So skilled? If he was so skilled, why did he have an accident?

But both say that credit for their safety doesn’t belong in human hands.

The dice rolled in their favor. Next time they may not.
