The futility of prayer.

I wonder how many people thanked God for their survival following the Lisbon earthquake of 1755?
An estimated 40,000 to 60,000 people perished when an earthquake hit Lisbon on All Saints Day, many of those who died were attending celebratory services in the city's cathedral and churches.
Did the Lord select who lived or died that day, and if so, on what premise did he make his choice?
