"The New York Post reports today on a woman who has a ticket but did not board EgyptAir flight 990 which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, killing 217 passengers and crew. Sonya Baladi's mother, Laila, "had a premonition of disaster" and so Sonya changed her plans.
Laila is quoted as saying: "It's amazing how God works."
Sonya's brother, Joseph, is quoted as saying: "It was God's will that saved her from being on the plane."
Are we to assume it was God's will that killed 217 people?
The article describes Laila as a devout Christian clutching rosary beads during her interview. How did she rejoice at having her daughter alive while others grieved their lost loved ones? According to the Post, "The family felt so lucky that they spent Sunday gambling in Atlantic City - and won $200." [thanks to Jon Henrik Gilhuus]
Que c'est beau la bonté pieuse! C'est grand, universel et tellement altruiste!
Seul commentaire possible: cela "confirme" (ironie) que les prière à Jesus sont plus efficace que celles à Allah.
