What's the odds that on a cross country flight, your plane craps out, and you crash land in the place which you always desired to be?

I think that's was Rand's way of saying, escaping the imperfect world around us is fantasy.

I can't believe I'm about to defend a point of plausibility in an Ayn Rand novel, but as I recall the plane crash's location wasn't random. It was caused by John Galt's Magic Ray Screen thingie, and only happened because Dagney Taggart was following Galt's plane into the gulch at the time.

Of course I always wondered why Galt's engine didn't flame out too, but I've never actually lost any sleep over it.
