   @jwildeboer Absolutely.

   I got really annoyed hearing it described as a "miracle" this morning.

   IT'S NOT A MIRACLE. IT'S SCIENCE.

     As someone who knows a tiny bit about mechanical engineering, I tip my hat to the fine engineers at Bombardier. A plane that tips over, gets a wing sheared off but keeps the main structure intact so that no passenger has died? That's not just luck. That's solid engineering.
