When the Captain of an airplane says "prepare for a crash landing", you know things are bad.Luckily, in the Western world pilots are highly trained and you know that everything will be done to get you down in one piece. For example, in the recent 'miracle on the Hudson' crash the American pilot managed to save everyone on board.
Passengers on a Muslim airline though weren't so lucky and in 2005 16 were killed when their plane crashed off the coast of Italy.
Although both crashes occured near airports and both planes crashed into water there was one major difference.
The American captain relied on his experience, training and initiative to land the plane safely with no deaths.
The Muslim pilot decided to skip emergency procedure and pray to Allah instead.
The Muslim pilot has just been sentenced to 10 years by an Italian court.
So, the next time you're sitting in a plane ready to take off and the pilot welcomes you by saying "Welcome aboard. I'm Captain Mohammed and I'm your pilot" ... check your travel insurance includes 'acts of god'.
