Dear Mr Finch
I respect your choice to rely solely on engineering improvement, crew training
/ discipline, and empirical science, when you fly.
I will keep asking God to fly with me!
Respectfully & with best regards
Eliacim Cortes, BSEE, MEE, PE (not a particularly unscientific dude!)
PS. We should switch this thread to Flying, and out of Tech!

Babin meant well, but to attribute the outcome of US Airways Flight 1549 to
"God" detracts from decades of NTSB and FAA examination of accidents and steady
regulatory improvement to flight safety; decades of engineering improvements;
and many years of training and discipline by the entire flight crew, including
the flight attendants. It all goes back to unemotional, impartial,
scientifically-based empirical science. Societies that recognize that prosper;
societies that don't wallow in misery.
