Why couldnt someone like Sully run for President? No sex scandal, no greed, no false promises of change and hope, no party platform...just a man that knows how to make decisions based upon logic and good judgement . ie WWSD ? All in favour for Sully in 2012 say thumbs up!
Katie Couric is such a damn cornball, typically trying to drain each drop of emotional drama out of this story. Sully's not having any of it... he's just telling it like it is and that's been his stance from the very beginning. Good on ya Sully!! And as for his wife, she well knows he's not the type to suffer being patronized and that's why she's not going along with the hero bit.
i love this guy, i bought his book, but his wife is an ass..i think sully IS a real Hero, hero's step up to the plate and HERO's dont fuck things up...no matter what, he is a real hero a real one...this man saved 155 people and should be remembered forever
Hey Katie, next time ask him why he forgot to hit the "ditch" switch in the 320!! It was by sheer luck and the soft landing that the plane did not sink within 2 minutes. For all his supposed "expert emergency training and teaching", this would have been the FIRST thing you do for a water landing! Hitting the "ditch" switch closes all the cabin air valves so that water does not come in. Had this been done, the plane would have stayed afloat longer. A MAJOR mistake. Great stick work though...
The whole incident lasted only 3 and a half minutes.... not enough time to enable the ditch switch, also they had to go through and engine failure check list first and they would have to go through a ditch switch check list prior to enabling it, its not like you can just flick a switch.... not trying to be a smart ass , I'm no aviation expert... just saw this on tv about flight 1549 and ditch switches called why planes crash
Gotta' luv' these armchair experts!! There is no glory in being a grandstand quarterback!!
Captain Sullenberger's handling of the emergency has been examined, not with a fine tooth comb, but rather with scrutiny closer to an electron microscope. His performance, as well as the performance of his crew, the 1st responders, the ferry boat pilots, ATC, and the medical personnel who treated the pasengers was nothing short of excellent.
Look at Sully's reaction at 1:47 when she says he aint a hero.....total dejection. For fuck sake, everyone called the 9/11 firemen heroes.......and this guy ISN'T ??? Coming from his wife, thats gotta hurt !!
Hahaha man, remember, women are like this. Even if you go back in time and ask Mrs George Washington, she'd say the same thing. But read between the lines, her semantic meaning contradicts with her pragmatic meaning!
sorry, meant you! She realizes he is a professional and does his job to the best of his ability. Sorry you feel this way about her. called you that because even if you dislike her, you should not have used that kind of belittling language.
It looks like YOU are an apologetic asshole yourself. As I said in the initial comment, look at his reaction at 1:47. THAT speaks more about anything I could say !! Women (most) ARE like this. Can you imagine if SHE had saved over 100 lives ?? He's be on the ground licking her feet...guaranteed !!
Ha Ha Ha, looks like your not married OR dating because with an attitude like you have, You would show yourself to a woman and she would be gone! End of conversation.
Hahaha, YOU are either a female using the moniker "boaterbil", defending your sex, or a pussified man, whipped senseless by the female species. Boy, either way, I'm so glad I aint you. Pathetic !!! Sad fact is, so many guys are SO very hungry for a woman, that they will put up with attitudes such as Sully's wife. Not me, I have a Philipino wife who ADORES me, and we have great sex many times a week. Most white, Americam women are just like Sully's wife.....bitches !!! Now F-U !!
I love this story, but fancy asking him if there was anyone on the planet better equiped to deal with the situation. I fly for a living, and would like to think that allmy Capt's and the majority around the world would have made the same descision with close to the same outcome. Great job Sulley, and very honest answer to that ridiculus question- great bloke!
@theEMDman3798; Hopefully, with the shameful conditions experienced pilots are facing while their positions have been replaced with "300 hour wonders" (along with their $150,000. student loans balances, $20,000./yr. starting salaries, all while working part time jobs at the local Jack In The Box to make ends meet!), aviation will change for the better.
Contrast Capt. Sully & his crew with Colgan 3407's demise; 49 deaths caused by inexperience, incompetence, and non-existent cockpit discipline.

I'm sorry but a hero is someone who saves lives. This makes captain Sully a hero.
