I'm sure much of our readership has already heard the miraculous story of the single survivor of a passenger airliner crash off the coast of Africa. Just about every news outlet has reported the freak circumstances of 152 passengers dying, but one surviving with barely a scratch. For those of you who have been backpacking the last week in the remote mountains of Alberta, here is a short blurb:
A 14-year-old girl has survived after a Yemeni airliner with 153 people on board crashed in the Indian Ocean.
The girl was plucked alive from the ocean after the Airbus A310-300 went down in stormy weather as it tried to land in the Comoros capital, Moroni, in the early hours on Tuesday.
"A doctor from the military hospital aboard one of the rescue boats called the Mitsamiouli hospital to tell them a child had been rescued alive," Halidi Ahmed Abdou, a doctor at a medical centre opened for survivors, told Reuters.
It has come to our attention that Samuel L. Jackson, who is mostly wheelchair bound due to suffering from a disease that makes his bones quite fragile, has been following this story closely and intends to meet with the teenage survivor.

I suspect the recent rash of plane crashes is now at an end.
