Miracle on the Hudson!!

I want to Thank God and the pilot for the amazing success of landing this aircraft without any fatalities. I will fly USAir as much as possible in the future!!

Considering the pilot used to fly old F-4 Phantoms for the air force, the guy was used to shaky flights and hard landings.



the ditch into the drink probably reminded him of his glory days, in the military

 

From another message board I am on there is a guy who has a friend who knew someone on the plane. The plane was likely half-filled with banking executives. Figures, even in plane crashes the bankers get bailed out.

 

I'm glad everyone made it out of there alive

 

Yeah, that was amazing by the pilot. :smt023

 

They just changed the rules on pilots to allow them to fly until they are 65. Just think, many more with Capt. Sullenbergerst expertise would have been forced to stop flying.

 

I watched part of the special coverage on NBC tonight. The man that brought tears to my eyes was the father who said, "...and because of that man (Sully) my 2 1/2 year old daughter still has a daddy..." They are all very fortunate.

 

Come on guys, give credit where credit is due!! It can't be that hard!!
