The odds of this happening at all are infintessimal.
That one plane landed safely and happened to contain a NYTimes airtravel journalist is beyond bizarre.
If flying freaks you out, you probably shouldn't read this. If you're interested in hearing about pilots in a context other than being overworked, underpaid or drunk in the air (which seem to be the only pilot news stories one ever sees), you should absolutely read it.
Basically, that plane that crashed in Brazil? It collided with another plane. The journo was on that surviving flight.
