Subject: And here comes the Navy calling it Miraculous, Luck, and Skill

When a jet plane crashes into housing destroying people's homes.

“I think it’s an act of divine providence,” Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.

“We’re blessed,” Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms said after touring the crash site.

Navy Capt. Mark Weisgerber of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command, who said the two-seat Hornet experienced a “catastrophic mechanical malfunction,” praised the crew for taking decisive action. “The mitigating factor in this is there was an eminently well-trained and qualified teacher in the back seat” of the doomed plane, he said.

What bullshit. Characterizing a catastrophe as a god damn blessed event.
