My point was that passengers could have done a bunch of stupid things to get themselves killed, and they didn't.
Many of them were standing on the wings. If the rescuers had not arrived quickly, the passengers could have fallen in the water and drowned, and/or
died of hypothermia. Everyone played a role.
I'll have to disagree about luck. The airplane was either in good condition, or it wasn't. If it was in good condition, it's not because of luck, but
because it was designed and maintained properly. Those things don't just happen. We have to make them happen. That's my whole point. We have to rely
on ourselves and each other, not on supernatural forces or luck.
