New Yorkers can really handle themselves with the most admirable calm,professionalism, and skill. ALL OF YOU FDNY,NYPD,Port Authority, and any I did not list; after listening to this, and after 9/11,you have my deepest respect and I salute all of your people. There are not enough words to describe your great skill, and dedication. And I am not leaving out the ATCs or Aircrews involved. I salute you.

Speaking with news anchor Katie Couric, Sullenberger said, "One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience: education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal."

When I first read this I couldn't fight back the tears. . . . . . .

I hear the word "Kay" a lot in emergency services radio communications. Is this the same as "Over" to state end of transmission?

[MustangFan424]

@alpha18412 Thats correct

[alpha18412]

@MustangFan424  sent you reply but posted to wrong person. OOps.

[SIGNAL10132]

@alpha18412 Yes. All emergency services end their transmissions in K

[Fania54]

@alpha18412 Yes.

This whole thing was a miracle, great work by a hero pilot and a professional response by the FDNY.

[alpha18412]

@MNRick041 Thanks for the info. Know any background on that. i seem to recall when I was in the Army in the 80's that when radio conversations were written down or printed the shorthand for over was D or De but it was never spoken.

[alpha18412]

@MNRick041 Sorry message mean't for the guy whose comment is above yours.

For those who might be interested, the pilot is from here in Denison, TX, and will be speaking at the high school graduation ceremony this summer. That will be a neat occasion for our town.

I LISTENED TO THIS LIVE. Absolutely amazing. Brave men and women of FDNY!

God put those Damn birds into his engine. Praise the pilots, crew and the ATC.
