The plane lands around the 2:00 mark, it looks small in the river as it enters from
the left of the screen. ............edited.......... You can see how fast they got the people out of the plane which I find amazing in real time

1. That was a miracle. I am so glad that the pilot, the universe, G-d, whatever: Everyone Lived!

And then Pedro Picasso, who apparently didn't get any during his recent skiing trip, and so's put out:

3. No, it was not a "miracle"

Unless you're willing to believe God was just tucking with everyone by throwing them in the river in the first place, just so he could "miraculously" save them.

And then the bonfire acquires a most curious flare-up:

13. Yeah, It's a Miracle that Israel gets away with murder too.

Sorry, but this overblown cause celebre is a smokescreen and borders on hero worship by the masses, fanned by a media that doesn't want to look at the real news.

The Pilot was skilled, no doubt. That's his job, his profession, his specialty.

Miracles are something that desperate people conjure up to explain amazing luck and unexplained events. Just like a Total eclipse was considered a miracle before people understood it.

I'm sure that a wild dog thinks a gun going of if pretty miraculous too, but it is no miracle.

17. Come on. This is cause for celebration. Why be a downer?

We all know that what's happening in Gaza sucks ass. We all know the mainstream media isn't doing its job. Every one of those people walked away with no injuries, and best of all, no death. If you were about to crash land I guarantee you would be expecting to die. Those people dodged a huge bullet. We don't have much these days to be happy about. Stop over analyzing everything.

Please note the boldened phrase was uttered three days before the 0bamareich.

27. so negative. take joy or happiness or whatever you want to call it so you don't go off on an anti-religious rant, in the fact that these people survived something that isn't very common to survive - a plane crash.

It's a great thing.

32. Yea, it's a miracle there are also so fricken many apologists for militant a-holes.

Considering your Hamas group is getting its asses handed to them for rocketing innocent civilians, you'd think you'd take any good news you can get right about now.

But your comments are a perfect example of how delusional you are, casually using any event and to be frank, any excuse to justify your side.

Hmmmm.

Nah, probably not.

Normally, I would say it's amazing that someone who's lived as long as Pedro doesn't know what it means when normal people say it was a "miracle."  But then I remember it's Pedro, and it doesn't surprise me at all.

Pedro Picasso's been pretty grouchy lately, like he's got a sand-burr up his rectal aperture that he can't get out.

I figure it's because either he didn't get any on his recent skiing trip, or he's having to relinquish his second home under this 0bamareich, to someone who has less.
