Was there anything personal directed as retribution towards me in the recent near fatal accident when flying home?

This was not directed at you personally, nor an active retribution as by the Extraterrestrial Alliance, for example. This was simply a physical problem that was due to cause an equipment failure at the wrong time and place for you and all the others who were on that scheduled flight. So this was simply a case of changing the destiny for the whole lot by a single individual, in this case you, yourself, who reached out with a simple prayer request for safety that ended up saving all those lives.
