It always gets me a little bit when news announcers talk about the fact that so many people survived the SFO crash as “miraculous.”

It was a plane crash. I’ve never understood how anything about a plane crash can be called miraculous. They survived because there are a lot of safety systems and well-trained people who did everything possible to make crashes like this survivable. Nothing miraculous about it, just human beings doing the best they can with a bad situation.
