i was an advocate of the idea that a sea landing is beyond impossible for any pilot.
some years ago terrorists hijack a plane in africa and demand to be flown to australia.
the pilot runs out of fuel at the sychelles islands and ditches in the sea with most passengers dead or drowned.
libh: "The pilot of both these airplanes were a testament to their good training and great skill
A tribute: If you ever saw Bob Hoover, who just died at 94, and you can see it on youtube, he turned off his two engines, then did rolls, loops, landed on one wheel , then the on the other, you will appreciate how safe flying at the edge can be, and how close the best of us can come to be at one with the universe.

Will be good to have all the details published so we all can learn. The obitiary by the funeral parlor, magnuspoirier.com lists 6 children as left behinds instead of the 2 elsewhere.
1st corinthians 15 12-17. but if it is preached that christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised.
and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... .
when Jesus (or his historians) compared his end of life experience with Jonah's gastly gastric 3+1/2 days, he must have been testing whether his listeners were credulous enough to swallow the whole bit, hook line and sinker.

Paul "--- if Christ is not risen your faith is in vain.
At least he put that caveat in writing, wt would be as honest if they'd put all the improbable conditions required for them teaching "the truth" up front in their literature. like:
If Christ has risen in his kingdom, (or sat down)?, in 1914, the overlapping generation must be in full swing now--/
At least the resurrection stories after Pentecost were more practical, You are a good knitter, Dorcas, come back. or, You sleep at the meetings, Eutychus, ok, they are boring, you qualify.
this is a question mainly for those who are christian as i myself am not:.
to what extent is christianity contingent on a belief in the book of genesis.
i know there are some christians who accept that the creation story is a myth, and maybe the adam and eve story too.
If "the greatest teacher" , "the greatest man that ever lived", and died, is reported to have personally endorsed, quoted the Adam & Eve account, the flood, how can wt be wrong in following these teachings of Christianity? . Now, if any element of the story can be proven to be untrue, then you not only have a bad story, but an absolutely flawed world view.
manufactured outrage.
false equivalence.
every issues has "two sides".
you can always try different ones and stick with BBC, people in Europe did, in EE2.

Steve Hassan: "--unnecessary loss of life- all due to misunderstanding Jewish Kashrut law.--
and the bible story: The talking snake prevailed. The first innocent victims (Cain & Abel), then try to make amends by trial sacrifices, god indicates he likes bloody meat (that can not be eaten yet ). so, it becomes a pattern, Abraham even preparing to kill his son. then: the perfect sacrifice (Jesus). turning water into wine and blood into wine (symbolically), but even then, according to wt, the blood monopoly for god has to be maintained. at all cost, even at the cost of further human sacrifices. faith better than Abraham's,-- or worse?, all based on a talking snake story.?

we hope two so similar, so close in time and place deaths are a fluke, and not what goes on, untold.
milande louis cadet, a 46 year old jehovah's witness woman, died after childbirth in a montreal hospital on october 3, 2016.. this interview and story is in french.
i have done a poor google translate of the article...the tv story likely has more and better details.
http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2016/10/24/lhopital-st-marys-reagit-au-deces-de-mirlande-louis-cadet.
thinking on this, how tragic. Blood transfusions should have given doctors the time to get to the sources of these post-cesarian continuing blood losses, and stop them for good.
