Default Jesus saves? Pilots land on a wing and a prayer

And maybe next time they can pray for brains to they can remember to monitor how much fuel they have? M

Pilots land on a wing and a prayer
Wed May 21, 12:46 PM ET

Two New Zealand pilots whose plane ran out of fuel landed on a wing and a prayer, literally, local media reported on Wednesday.

Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson from Blenheim, at the top of the South Island about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Wellington, were in a microlight plane when the engine cut out.

"When you're in a microlight if you crash, you usually die. I turned to O B (Wilson) and he said we had no fuel," Stubbs told the Marlborough Express newspaper.

"I asked what we should do. He said: 'You just pray Grant.'"

Stubbs said he prayed to God to get them over a ridge and they finally landed in a small grassy area, and beside a 20 foot high sign saying "Jesus is Lord -- The Bible."

Sounds to me that they simply glided to a good landing spot and touched down. Nice coincidence though with the sign and everything though.

It doesn't take a brian to moniter your fuel, as a genius can still run out of gas on the highway. It's just paying attention, which takes disipline and focus. So it is that they should be praying for.
