Who or What Caused AirAsia to go Down?

AIRASIA: About once per month someone will get on the subject of death and on who calls the shots of when it will be. Each day there are about 140,000 deaths in the world but when a plane goes down taking many lives with it, it focuses the question in a special way. There are lots of folks who say that the Lord has our day marked and that we want go until that day arrives. Still if we think of the 162 aboard Airasia it would mean that the Lord and His angels would have had to go to a lot of trouble assembling all those folks aboard and being sure all others were kept off.
What a gruesome task it would be for the Lord of life to have to go through His "hit" list everyday especially when He would know how much grief it would cause those still living, a Lord who we Christians believe is planning an eternal life for us. In addition if the courts of the world could prove that God had something to do with bringing that plane down then He would would be charged with a crime against humanity. I prefer to think of life and death as a mystery and that way I am not so apt to blame someone. Many of the assumptions that we grew up with need to be reevaluated!

I agree wholeheartedly it is absolutely unfair and egregious to think this was a punishment from God on people on their family members. It is bitterly painful and hard to ration with in any way.
What I can say is that if we believe in a righteous God, that there's a generalized stabilizing system of goodness provided by these kinds of principles:
time ultimately heals all wounds
Pain in mass numbers causes those masses to bond together in adversity which produces new eventual friendships
When people die, new life fulfills the legacies of those whose lives were unfinished
People who suffer individually can help relate to someone else who sufferered individually
Human beings on earth are not always faced with equal circumstances, but love for others and random acts of kindness increase otherwise happiness. In the short-term, things aren't fair but we can mitigate all the decrees by doing kind things onto the people who need help the most.
We can help people, when the victim we can open up our wounds to other victims so they feel together we are in the same struggle.
Each day of life could end for any of us or our loved ones, not as punishment, any moment, but God can help these bullets not sting us as much...overtime of course. In the end of life, we will all go through every human emotion. God can help our highs be higher and our lows not sting as much, but does not guarantee there won't be a random set of lows and highs distributed unevenly over all living things.
