The sole survivor of a small plane crash in Kansas is in stable but serious condition after she was reportedly pulled out of the burning aircraft by a passenger, an Iraq war veteran who later died from his injuries. Hannah Luce, 22, is in a Kansas City hospital with burns covering 28 percent of her body after surviving the Friday crash that killed three of her friends and the young pilot. "While we're thankful for this miracle of Hannah, we are truly grieving with all these parents," Hannah Luce's father, Ron Luce, said. Luce and her three friends were aboard an eight-seater twin-engine Cessna 401 plane, heading to a Christian youth rally called Acquire the Fire, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The rally was held by Teen Mania Ministries, an organization founded by Luce's father. But after taking off from an airport in Tulsa, something suddenly went wrong with the plane, which landed in a field and skidded around 200 feet before hitting several trees and bursting into flames. The pilot, 23-year-old Luke Sheets died at the scene, as did 29-year-old Garrett Coble, and 22-year-old Stephen Luth. Austin Anderson, a 27-year-old former marine who completed two tours in Iraq, had just graduated from Oral Roberts University with Luce on May 5. Anderson reportedly pulled Luce out of the burning plane, and the two were able to walk to a nearby road for help. Anderson later died in the hospital, suffering burns over 90 percent of his body. "It would totally be like Austin's character," friend Lauren Rocket told ABC News. "He was such a tough guy, but once you got to know him he was so much a teddy bear." Ron Luce told ABC News Kansas City affiliate KMBC that he knew Anderson and that he is the type of man that would save someone in that situation. "He served two tours in Iraq, and he was willing to give his life for his country," he said. "He was willing to give his life for a friend. He was always willing to go that extra mile." Luce said his daughter, who was working on her master's degree in counseling psychology, "just began to tear up" when asked about Anderson pulling her from the wreckage. Hannah is now in serious but stable condition in at University of Kansas Hospital, where on Monday she will undergo skin grafts for her burns. "She said, 'I have all these burns," her father said. "Then she said, 'but I'm here. I'm here.'"

its kinda sad how he lived from the crash, walked away then died later.
It was God's plan. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Creating unnecessary shitstorms / Threadshitting" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=King Tiger;35952943]It was God's plan.[/QUOTE] lol these guys were christian they deserved to die Why did you even post
[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;35952961]Don't know if you're trying to be funny or being a heartless asswipe.[/QUOTE] Not trying to be funny. Just trying to show the irony of going to a christian camp and dying.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35952977]Not trying to be funny. Just trying to show the irony of going to a christian camp and dying.[/QUOTE] There is no irony.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35952977]Not trying to be funny. Just trying to show the irony of going to a christian camp and dying.[/QUOTE] That isn't irony at all, what
Well that is sad :(
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;35953012]That isn't irony at all, what[/QUOTE] Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] it's pure co-incidence that they died, just as is every other circumstance that ever has happened and ever will happen.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] Shut up already
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] Why are you taking this news as an opportunity to insult religious people? Are you actually that unkempt? I feel really sorry for you.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] shut up and leave, please.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] yes this is totally relevant I'm sure this is exactly what was on everyone's minds as they read this thank you
Playing Devil's Advocate here: why are you guys so defensive about this?
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35953034]Yes it is. They were going to worship god and he had planned to kill them all along.[/QUOTE] Oh, yeah, that's hilarious. I'm rolling on the floor right now, ha fucking ha. You're not edgy. You're not funny. You're not cool. Probably going to backpeddle your way out of this shit too (or ram straight through it like an idiot, hoping that SOMEHOW people would get that you were hilarious all along or some shit).
This must be the year's record for speed of a thread turning to shit.
Acquire the fire is a joke, my step-mom made me go. Its seriously a bunch of bible thumping and sob stories to scare youth into BELIVIN' IN JAYSUS.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35952977]Not trying to be funny. Just trying to show the irony of going to a christian camp and dying.[/QUOTE] And another person who doesn't know what irony is.
Definition of the word hero.
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;35953319]Playing Devil's Advocate here: why are you guys so defensive about this?[/QUOTE] they want to seem mature
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35952977]Not trying to be funny. Just trying to show the irony of going to a christian camp and dying.[/QUOTE]As Bender once said, "Its not ironic, its just mean." [editline]14th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=JgcxCub;35953319]Playing Devil's Advocate here: why are you guys so defensive about this?[/QUOTE]Because he said something simultaneously stupid and mean.
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;35953319]Playing Devil's Advocate here: why are you guys so defensive about this?[/QUOTE] He's being mean for no other reason than because they're Christians. What he said was tasteless and irrelevant. There's a high chance these victims don't even believe that "it was God's plan all along".
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;35953784]And another person who doesn't know what irony is.[/QUOTE] How is this not ironic? They pray to god to save them, and he kills them.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;35954678]How is this not ironic? They pray to god to save them, and he kills them.[/QUOTE] cool you made your point ok bye now
