When will people ever learn that prayer does not work.Crash pilot who paused to pray convicted
PALERMO (Reuters) – A Tunisian pilot who paused to pray instead of taking emergency measures before crash-landing his plane, killing 16 people, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by an Italian court along with his co-pilot.
The 2005 crash at sea off Sicily left survivors swimming for their lives, some clinging to a piece of the fuselage that remained floating after the ATR turbo-prop aircraft splintered upon impact.
A fuel-gauge malfunction was partly to blame but prosecutors also said the pilot succumbed to panic, praying out loud instead of following emergency procedures and then opting to crash-land the plane instead trying to reach a nearby airport.
Another five employees of Tuninter, a subsidiary of Tunisair, were sentenced to between eight and nine years in jail by the court, in a verdict handed down Monday.
The seven accused, who were not in court, will not spend time in jail until the appeals process has been exhausted.
Yet another instance where this god doesn’t show up. When will people ever get it. All those people died because of the religious bullshit belief of a delusional pilot. If I was a relative of one of the victims, I could never forgive such stupidity .

Very sad. I always believed in both prayer and action when I was a Christian. What bothers me most is why God didn't show up to save these people despite the mess up of the pilot. I mean, if it was their time to go why not just escort them all into heaven like a gentleman? Why must they die before they can go to heaven?
Another reason why Muslims shouldn't be able to fly airplanes.
