Was it this plane crash where that guy was about to fly but came late? He is not yet on his time. God has still a mission for him. He must thank the Lord for being saved from that fatal crash.

It's possible that proper maintenance was not done on the plane. Lets wait and see the cause though. I can imagine what the family of those who died are going through.

He was a lucky guy, his guardian angel protected him and it was not yet his time to leave the earth forever. He should have thanked God.
