Negligent Homicide

From one-eyedbob.blogspot.com on 3/24/2015

I am reading about crash of German Wings flight 4U9525 in a mountainous region of France with up to 150 people on board.  So sad.  As with so many tragedies due to human error, mechanical failure or natural events I have no doubt that those who were about to die called on God to save them and those who wait safely for loved ones pray to God for the safety and return of those held dear.  Yet, the crash happened.  People died.  Those waiting are in shock and pain.
Negligent homicide is a serious felony.  Such a charge includes two elements.  The first is that the defendant knew there was risk of death for the victim(s).  The second is that the defendant failed to act to help save the life of the victim(s).
So, does God hear prayers?  If your answer is yes, then God was aware of the soon to happen tragedy of this airline crash.
Can God intervene and can God work miracles?  If your answer is yes, then God failed to act to help save the victims.
Prima facie:  God is guilty of negligent homicide and is therefore a felon.  Or, he/she does not hear prayer or he/she cannot perform miracles, or he/she hears prayers and chooses not to act.  That seems evil. 
Regardless, faith falters.
