once something goes wrong in that plane and that nose goes down you know praying wont help.
Actually i would leave that decision to the ones flying it... if the nose goes down that doesn't mean you have to start praying, think of this:
of all the systems in an aircraft (about 2 million per heavy jet) only 2 need to work in order to keep it flying, engines and flight controls and those are backed up and backed up again...
The chanse of those two failing is practicly 0. And nose down in some situations IS a standard procedure, as strange as it may sound :-)
