7 y/o sole survivor in plane crash (1 Viewer)

[CurlyNight]

What an incredible story and little girl. God was looking down on her. Had she not taken the route she did, with one sock on and barefoot on the other foot, wearing a t-shirt and shorts in 38 degree weather, she would have not made it.

Such a sad story. May God be with her in the upcoming very difficult days. :(

Miracles are God's work. It simply wasn't her time for she is still here for a purpose, which I'm betting will eventually be to help others in some way, as many survivors go to become.

 

[matuski]

Not gonna go beyond this down the path of religion, but how does a god let a girl's family die around her and still get credit for it in the OP?

An amazing story, hard life ahead of her.

The bad is way bigger than the good here.. this is no miracle - it is a tragedy.

Start there with your god.

Never said it's not a tragedy did I? But God did save her life. Would it have been better if she had died as well? Maybe she feels that way now but something tells me in the years ahead she will make good of her life despite it all in the name of her family.

This. Some serious survivor's guilt combined with no parents means a long road of counseling to become a normal functioning member of society with a slim chance that maybe she can turn out to be a real superstar and write/lecture about her experience someday.

 

[CurlyNight]

Plane crashes killing all but one.. OP: "Thank God!"

Yes indeed, thank God one did survive this tragedy. Would it have been better news for her to have died as well? I personally don't like to hear of any tragic death but if one does survive, then yes I'm glad for that.

Why didn't God just prevent the accident in the first place?

Even with the plane upside down, the 7-year-old made it out and trekked three-quarters of a mile in the dark through what Wilkins described as "very, very rough territory," mired with fallen trees, creeks, ditches and blackberry briars.

Sailor was barefoot except for one sock and was dressed for Florida -- shorts, no coat -- not for slogging through the January cold of Kentucky.

What did God do? Sounds to me like this little girl saved herself. If your "God" really existed he's an uncaring SOB.

So it was time for her sister to go? Did god flip a coin?

How do you know "God's work" wasn't killing off everyone else on the plane, but he was a little careless and missed on one?

Bumping this for those that seemed to lose focus on the story in this thread. Can we try to debate religion and the existence of God in another thread? This poor girl has a long life ahead of her. Perhaps the few minutes you took to post your cynical view of God's existence or His defense could have been better spent donating to the fund to help her.

 

[Kal El]

We can debate the existence of God and whether or not He was watching over her (Personally, the OP's comment was made with something else in mind, and since none of us are deities, we can't possibly claim to know whatever plan God had in letting this little girl survive without her family, but my prayers are with her anyway), but this debate has been done before, and those who do not believe are unlikely to suddenly change their mind.

Some serious dooshfacing in here. Just when I get a good vibe from this place (ie bigbottom raffle), some guys find a way to drag it back down.

[Sinn Fein]

Maybe God was looking out for everyone. Assuming you believe in god, you believe in an after-life, that is better than your mortal life - so cursing God for bringing people "home" seems a bit strange to me. I've never really understood the whole why did God let so-and-so die - if you really believe in god, they are better off dead.

As for the little girl, perhaps it was not her time, and God "guided" her back to safety?


If you choose not to believe thats fine, but no reason to denigrate those that do...

Nobody is denigrating anyone. When the OP loads up the post with thanking God for the result of this tragedy, it's a pretty fair question to ask why any God who has a hand in this or some control over it would allow this to happen in the first place.

By the way, nobody in here is celebrating what this poor child had to go through or will go through in life. GB her, what an awful, awful experience. But ease up on the religious soapboxing and allow folks to ask questions without becoming so threatened that you have to toss insults in response. That's just an odd reaction.

With the exception of one, maybe two posters, the rest aren't asking questions because they legitimately wonder why God would allow this. They are using it to denigrate other's beliefs and mock their God.

I want to know why you would thank or credit a god for what happened in this story.

If that is viewed as "denigrating" your beliefs, that is on you.

The OP lobbied his opinion about the tragedy right from the get go, instead of just posting the story. Sorry, I found it insulting.
