Flight 1549 A Year Ago Today
I posted the link to these videos last fall when they first came available, but it is worth reposting on the anniversary of the event to remind ourselves just how remarkable an event this was and why we need people like "Sully".
One year ago today Capt. Chesley Sullenburger laid his stricken Airbus down in New York's Hudson River as nice as you please.
He and his equally cool-as-a-cucumber co-pilot Jeff Skiles saved the lives of all 155 people on the aircraft.
Here are several excellent video reconstructions of the incident.
