True, but the article only mentioned "mechanical problems" and a
"sputtering engine".


That can mean anything and not just a failing engine.


The engine sputtered not long after he left the original airport so he aimed
for Troutdale and hoped he'd make it. (They're only a few minutes apart,
but Sandy is higher elevation and not as well-maintained.)

He said on the news last night that the engine stuttered and then quit as he
was coming into the pattern. Said as sure as he was standing there, God
told him where and how to land. By the look on his face you could tell he
meant it.

Perhaps God will be able to speak to the NTSB and explain exactly what
happened to that engine.

Perhaps God will be able to speak to me and explain why I'm such an asshole
