The Cathay Pacific Airbus 330 made an emergency landing in Singapore when one of the engines caught fire. This actually isn't the first time an Airbus has had to make such a landing. In November, another Airbus with slightly larger Rolls-Royce engines had to turn around because one caught fire. Luckily, the landing went very smoothly and the fire was put out immediately upon arrival. Passengers held onto each other and prayed for the plane and for God to save their flight, which indeed He did.

These passengers are certainly very lucky! Not only did they survive the flight but the landing went smoothly and they were on steady ground as soon as possible. For that, I commend the pilots. What I really like about this story though is how the passengers sort of bonded together in prayer during this time of fear. I would be so scared if I looked out the window and could see smoke coming from one of the engines! Lastly, I'm sure everyone is even more thankful for all the hard work of the pilots, crew, and air traffic control and the wonderful technology that works to prevent disasters, such as in this case.
