This guy would prevent the earthquake from killing 40,000 people in Chile rather than the shooting from killing the 200 children at his local elementary school or the accident from killing his significant other. (Book of Questions #205)

Although now that I read the actual question again, it was an airport accident killing 200 people on the plane and just a good acquaintance dying from the car accident, not a significant other (And the 40,000 were from Peru, not Chile.)

Why do I seem to remember the version of it I posted above, though?
