It just wasn't meant to happen. It wasn't anybody's time 'to go', therefore a miracle happened.
A series of miracles and correct calls, open doors to sail that failing airliner through to come to a safe landing in that freezing bay.
The pilot maintained his composure and kept his wits about him, and no one on board his plane, nor on the 'ground,' was injured in any way. No catastrophes. No tearful endings or unsaid goodbyes.
These folks now all have another chance to face a new day tomorrow and take the time - or the opportunities - to be kinder, to be thankful, to be aware of life happening around them. To be charitable, to be humane, to be better parents and spouses; better friends and siblings.
To simply be better humans.
I hope it isn't asking too much for the families and loved ones who surround them to also realize the gift of life just granted, in one supreme moment of miraculousness.
But above all of this, these people will somehow hopefully carry the thought of this miracle in their every waking moment, so that their lesson in the Hudson Bay won't be forgotten or go ill-spent in the future. How often do we get a second chance such as this?
Thanks be to God.
