All I could simply add is that those who survive ‘miraculously’ have unfinished business here on ‘Earth’. Their being alive is ‘proof’ enough that something, someone ‘divine’ has intervened on their behalf. Who are we to say in human terms that those who die prematurely are no better off dead than alive in the afterlife doing work from beyond the grave that that only ‘G-d’ would know? It boils down to a soul’s purpose. For those on the other side of the spectrum, I don’t believe in random events.

what could that unfinished business be??? after the incident wouldnt the person just live on with a normal life and then just die?
How is their being alive proof of someone divine intervening??? it may be proof of luck

The 5 year old girl dies. As a result it gets national attention. Stricter gun laws are enacted to help prevent criminals from getting guns, thus dropping the number of deaths from resulting.

On a local scale, the neighborhood pulls together in their time of grief. People get to know one another, and decide to clean up their neighborhood. They gather evidence to shut down the illegal brothel. They pester the local DA and police department until the crackhouse is shut down. They pester gang members in large groups and drive them from the neighborhood. They set up a neighborhood watch and manage to prevent another shooting, a raping, and several break ins.
In just a few years, the neighborhood has gone from being a scary place to be to being a place where children can safely play outside, and people treat each other with respect. All due to the death of that little girl being the turning point.
To understand why God lets an event occur, you must also look at the effect that event has on everything else, not just that particular event.

instead of figuring out why this "god" does things that have effects on society, why dont you go out and actually do something that will actually make a change....praying will only get your knees dirty, and dirty knees dont help anybody

People like to say when someone dies that it was their time to go, or that it is all just a part of gods plan....really??? was it that girls time to go at 5 years old??? was it gods plan to bring this girl into the world, and before she even had a chance to actually live her life have her die???
