Indeed it is. The plane crashed because it took off from a runway that was too short, due to pilot/air traffic controller error. No miracles need invoking to explain "why." Nevertheless, when people get into situations of *extreme* distress, reason tends to go out the window, and they fall back on mysteries and the supernatural to explain things.

Don't get the religious brain deads stirred up....they are very shallow thinkers. Making the connection between the evil Allah and their God...has never crossed their minds. Making sense to those folks is like masturbating with boxing gloves on...progress is hard to measure!!

The fact of the matter is the crew screwed up...not the controller...the crew...pure and simple. After thousands upon thousands of TO's...I feel qualified to make that statement. Have a good day....=s=
