John Hernandez recently shared that last week he talked with an Alaska Airlines pilot who is involved in the investigation of the horrific crash of Alaska Flight 261.

The pilot has listened to the cockpit voice recorder from the downed plane and he reported that for the last 9 minutes of the flight, the wife of the pastor from Monroe, Washington can be heard sharing the Gospel with the passengers over the planes intercom system. Just before the final dive into the Pacific Ocean, she can be heard leading the sinners prayer for salvation.

The pilot also told John that the flight data recorder from the plane indicates that there is no good explanation for how the plane was able to stay in the air for those final 9 minutes. But it did stay in the air until the pastors wife had a chance to share the Gospel with the very attentive passengers and presumably lead many to salvation in Christ.

So, in the midst of this tragedy, nearly 90 people had an extraordinary opportunity to get right with their Maker just prior to meeting Him."
