You may have heard about the Tunisian pilot who stopped to pray instead of following emergency procedures, leading to a crash and sixteen deaths. Only thing is, he prayed while following emergency procedures. The International Federation of Airline Pilot's Associations describes the crew responding in "textbook fashion and completing a successful ditch at sea." Here's a transcript from the leaked cockpit recording. As you'll read, the pilot's frantic efforts to save the plane are interspersed with exclamations like "In the name of God, most compassionate, most merciful". Bet you a buck that if he'd said "Jesus Christ!" or "Oh my God!" (or indeed, "That's all guys! Fuck!") the headlines would be different.

Funny how those things get twisted around when someone wants to make a point, isn't it? :)

I laughed myself stupid. I don't know why on earth any of those should be funny (and indeed many are poignant or horrifying instead).

I suppose it's likely that very many of us will shuffle off this mortal coil with the words "Oh, shit!"
