Delta Flight 104, with 272 passengers and 14 crew, had just departed São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport on Sunday when flames shot out from its left engine. Passengers screamed for the pilots to “turn around” the jet. They immediately declared an emergency, shut down the affected engine, and circled back to the airport, landing safely shortly after departure. Video from inside the cabin shows passengers erupting into applause and cheers when the aircraft came to a stop. If you could speak to the pilots, what would you say to them today? A year from today? On this Good Friday, we discuss how God is both love and holy for paying our debts and why the price of our salvation was death in the first place.
