Can the 200+ dead casualties claim that God killed them and it was His mistake?
The same goes for the kids that the Mad Korean missed in Vtech.
Was it a miracle that some of them weren't shot? Or was it God's mistake that He let this disturbed animal KILL innocent kids and a prominent Professor, who happend to be a Holocaust Survivor?

The only thing that makes sense in this circumstance is that God does not exist or does not intervene in the natural world. Any other interpretation is apologetic to the point of absurdity.

That question was posed to Jesus when some people ask him about some men who were killed when a tower they were working on fell on them. His answer was "the rain falls on the just and the unjust".
There are physical and spiritual laws that operate in this world. If you jump off a cliff, you fall. If sow hatred towards others, it returns to you. So you can look at two people and say "why did one fall, and not the other?" One jumped, and the other didn't. "Why was one hated and not the other?" One sowed for the hatred and the other did not.
None of us have the omniscience of God to be able to see all the circumstances that lead up to the moment, nor what will happen because of that moment. He does. So he can make the correct decisions in those moment as to who he rescues and whom he does not. Physical and spiritual laws play a part in that decision. If a person does not believe in God, and does not call out for help, is God obligated to give it? Did any of those people make a decision to jump towards the shooter, hoping to save others? None of us were there to know all the details. And even if we had witnessed the whole thing, none of us knows the past or the probably future of those people to understand God's decisions.

In that situation, I would certainly be thanking God for sparing my life. I believe that things like this are part of the sorrows that Jesus said would come on the Earth & that it's a sign of the times we live in. Now, I'm not making light of this awful tragedy--my heart is broken for the families affected by it--& I believe that this is not the last event like this. We live in dangerous times--we must know who we are & in Whom & what we believe. I've never been in a plane crash or in a situation like yesterday @ VT but I have been delivered from danger by Divine intervention & I know the reality on Psalm 23:4.

In the prison house there is not innocents. Similarly, in this material world, there are not innocents, everyone is criminal. God made this world where all criminals come to take birth here. Therefore whatever bad things happen, is natural and whatever good thing happen then is a miracle. Everyone is suffering and enjoying the fruit of their pious and criminal activities. God does not make mistakes. Everyone must die one way of another, depending from his karma. We are controlled by the law of nature, and nature is punishing us and killing us in so many ways, till we come to our senses and turn to God. The criminals in jail can not blame the judge of the police, for being there and bad thing happen to them, is their choice to be in prison,

If this have been a center-eastern plane, then i'm particularly useful all the passengers might have died as commonplace. Islam's allah continually have a fashion of bringing its followers back to itself. .

I think people are controlled by their own actions, no matter how much people want to say that God saved them. if their are three people in a room and a gun man comes in and kills two, you got lucky that you weren't killed, pure luck that he went on to do something else instead of killing you, it wasn't God who saved you.

This is the fault of society and a faltering mental health system.
Those in direct danger who were not killed were just lucky. But I don't mean that in a superstition kind of way.

Tough question, but if one gives responsibility for the good that happens on earth, then responsibility must lie in the bad as well.
If you believe in God you have to believe he let this happen.

God may or may not have saved the person we really don`t know but it is more of an exclamation of sheer relief and joy from the survivor.

God must play the lottery with human lives. He struck the jackpot with the holocaust though.
