You forget that the World Trade Center has a capacity of 50,000. For
whatever reason - they were not at work yet, they were able to evacuate, or
they were rescued - 45,000 people were not killed.

Mercy in a different sense. If the plane had hit the White House, it would
have been destroyed. If the plane in Pittsburgh had gone on to hit the
Capitol, as they suspect, it too would have been destroyed. Neither are
built as well as the Pentagon. It is by God's grace and mercy that we are
not now at this very moment running the U.S. out of bunkers, with the
executive staff and most members of Congress dead.

Whether rhetorical or not, it's a valid question. However, God already
popped down, in the person of Jesus - and many didn't believe him then. And
we already know how God wants things run - we have the Bible.
