Either good or bad, we still have to thank God. Everything under the heavens happens for a reason.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright
Good to hear no one was hurt

They were lucky though....and no body should thank God...

They were just lucky and not God
For the fact they were lucky doesn't mean they won't die tomorrow.. probably by a stray bullet, boat capsized, their train derail, electric shock, building collapse....
The truth is for every day we wake we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die
