So what would you consider it? luck? coincidence? immortality?(my choice)

I wouldn't consider it immortality. Immortality is a bit of a misnomer though. To be immortal, one simply cannot die before they have fulfilled their Dharma or Divine Purpose. That doesn't prevent them from being injured. They can still be maimed, injured, critically hurt, infected, etc. while being immortal. There's a lot of bad things that can happen that make death look pale in comparison. So, if this child was not injured, as well as didn't die, then it's not immortality. I guess to classify it in any way, one would need to know if the boy suffered injuries or not in the crash, rather than just survived the crash where all the others on the flight may not have been as fortunate.

I wouldn't consider it Coincidence. It does not appear to be a sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged. (Although with ATS it won't be long before the planned and arranged part are theorized about!)

I wouldn't consider it a Miracle, but that's only because I'm not religious in that particular way. Professing of Miracles requires a belief in a deity that takes an consciously active role in everyday matters. Some here might think of it as such but I personally don't.

As for luck, that might be the best guess, but again it requires a similar form of belief as Miracles do. The premise that some people are blessed more than others doesn't seem like a very sound one.

(But for argument's sake, my profession in Immortality in the first instance relies on the same tenuous belief that there is Destiny or Dharma or Divine Purpose or Higher Will, so it's not really any more valid than the belief in Miracles or the belief in Luck.)

It *IS* however, most definitely a "REMARKABLE" incident, that is for sure.

Hopefully that boy will find a way to grow past the trauma he has experienced and live a full life.

And hopefully it isn't just one of those Media "make people feel good in the face of tragedy" stories that was fabricated or exaggerated.
