Godly U.S. marine protects San Diego from aliens:
Have you seen this story about the Marine crash in San Diego? Thank God that plane landed on the house of a non-American. Imagine how sad people would be if the plane had landed on the house of a Godly American Christian family?
San Diego man mourns loss of family, forgives Marine pilot in jet crash
One day after an F/A-18D Hornet fighter jet fell from the sky and crashed into his two-story house in San Diego's University City neighborhood, Dong Yun Yoon returned to a home and life in ruins. Rescue workers sifting through the debris on Cather Avenue had found the bodies of his wife, two baby daughters and mother-in-law.
Yoon, 37, pressed a handkerchief to his face and seemed to stagger upon viewing what little remained: a charred garage wall, piles of blackened beams, the family's Toyota Corolla -- miraculously undamaged -- parked on the street, and flowers placed nearby in memory of his family. "I believe my wife and two babies and mother-in-law are in heaven with God," Yoon said at a news conference afterward. "Nobody expected such a horrible thing to happen, especially right here, our house." Yoon said he bore no ill will toward the Marine Corps pilot who ejected safely before the jet plunged into the neighborhood two miles west of the runway at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. "I pray for him not to suffer for this action," Yoon said. "I know he's one of our treasures for our country."
The plane was on a training flight when it crashed into the residential neighborhood Monday, setting several houses aflame. The bodies of Yoon's wife, Young Mi, 37; his nearly 2-month-old daughter, Rachel; and mother-in-law, Suk Im Kim, 60, were found Monday. The body of his 15-month-old daughter, Grace, was recovered Tuesday.
Rescue crews had to dig through the wreckage of the second floor -- which collapsed onto the first floor -- with hand tools to uncover her body, which was found near the first-floor entrance, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. The Yoons, immigrants from South Korea, had moved into the neighborhood just a few weeks ago and tried to make friends in their own quiet ways, neighbors said.
Young Mi Yoon was often seen gardening, and her mother pushed her granddaughter's stroller around the area, chatting up neighbors in her broken English. "They waved at us all the time," said neighbor Robert Johnson. "They were just nice people." Dong Yun Yoon, a store manager at a retail business near the San Diego-Tijuana border, was a naturalized U.S. citizen who emigrated in 1989.
His wife, who emigrated four years ago, had just earned her nursing degree and was planning to go back to work, said the Rev. Daniel Shin, associate pastor of the Korean United Methodist Church of San Diego, which the family attended. He said Young's mother had joined the family recently to help care for the newborn girl. "They were at church last Sunday," Shin said. "Everybody was looking at the baby and how cute she was."
Residents, some of whom were prevented from returning to their homes because of the ongoing investigation and potentially toxic fumes still lingering in the wreckage, reacted with a mix of relief and sadness -- lucky to be alive but grieving for their neighbor's loss. The plane narrowly missed several homes and light winds prevented the flames from spreading quickly. Two houses were destroyed, and four sustained damage, Luque said, correcting an earlier report of three destroyed homes.
"It's just providence," said Johnson, who was at home with his daughter and grandchild when the fighter plane crashed two houses away, sending them fleeing out their back door. "Thirty feet higher and the plane lands in our living room instead of theirs."
Praise God that the Marine pilot was able to eject safely. It's going to take a lot of 'lost' fighter jets to get all those gooks; they'll have to go one at a time.

I will sleep better at night knowing these heathens have finally faced the wrath of God.
