Only later did he learn that he had missed two concrete culverts that could have damaged their jet. ''No man could have done that. Obviously God was steering the plane through that,'' he said.
 Obviously divine intevention was required to spare DHL's insurance company a few tens of thousand dollars of damage repair bill. We live in such a paradize that God has nothing better to do. May be God just wanted to be a copilot for that guy...

 No matter - I believe he rather than God saved those people in Boeing. I wish him best.
