Ky. Plane Crash Survivor Asks 'Why?'
By JEFFREY McMURRAY The Associated Press Wednesday, September 6, 2006; 10:47 PM
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The sole survivor of a plane crash that killed 49 people near the Lexington airport last week told family members from his hospital bed, "Why did God do this to me?" but he hasn't mentioned the crash, a close family friend said Wednesday.
James Polehinke, who was the flight's co-pilot, can move only his head, and tears often well up in his eyes, said Antonio Cruz, Polehinke's mother's boyfriend. He said the 44-year-old has been in and out of consciousness.

Actually, the survivor was the co-pilot. More likely he had his head down reading the checklists and monitoring the guages. I hope not.
The data and voice recorders show that Polehinke had the stick on take-off.

The data and voice recorders show that Polehinke had the stick on take-off. OK. Not as common as the pilot doing it, but the data recorders should tell the story.
Thanks.

Actually, the survivor was the co-pilot. More likely he had his head down reading the checklists and monitoring the guages. I don't know. I'm just going by what the article says:
According to federal investigators, the flight's captain, Jeffrey Clay, taxied Comair Flight 5191 onto the wrong runway before Polehinke took over the regional jet and attempted to get it airborne from the too-short runway at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport.
Should be fairly easy to verify, I suppose.
I feel bad for the guy. From the sound of it, he doesn't remember what happened, he thinks he's the victim, and he's blaming God. He's in for a mighty rude awakening if or when he remembers.

It apparently was his inappropriate comments (inappropriate for a prayer thread) that got him the ax.

But ... what would you like me to whisper in the ear of Dread Cthulhu? And what do you think it will accomplish? Nothing. You have to pray to the one, living, true God through His son Jesus Christ.

To: VadeRetro
Prolly the ban is not permanent now, but it will be if the heckling of prayer threads keeps up.
To: Pegita
That's a beautiful prayer. Thank you.

The plane crashed because it took off from a runway that was too short, due to pilot/air traffic controller error."I've examined the evidence; and THIS is the cause!"

While this is true... it's true of virtually *every* religion ever dreamed up."I known them all. I am right; again."

his means that either all religions are true (a logical impossibility given the mutually exclusive nature of the big ones), or faith is simply another mental mechanism. or there are MORE items to select from than these TWO!

By my count there are very few "biblical literalists" posting at FR. Am I in this group?

There are no coincidences. G-d is omnipresent in our lives. I will pray that someday this truth is revealed to you.
