So, you're implying that this occurrence should be interpreted as proof that god exists? Had they augered-in mere feet from the end of the runway, would that have been proof that god doesn't exist?
I don't understand how one instance of good fortune can be interpreted as "a miracle" or "divine intervention" when thousands of other instances of death and suffering are dismissed as not relevant. You can't have it both ways.
Interpreting this as a coincidence is far from a knee-jerk reaction. What evidence leads you to "other options"? Is there no way in the world this could have happened without supernatural interference? The only possible outcome in this situation was "god did it"? If not, then what leads you to that assumption?
