Dear Francesco Schettino, the cowardly cruise liner captain who abandoned ship before his passengers and crew were evacuated, please take a page out of this man's book. THIS is a real man, a true captain that deserves the title bestowed on him.
This is tear jerking stuff! If only the world consisted of more awesome, brave, unselfish & caring people like these ~ & of course, especially the Captain. WOW! They're ALL to be highly commended & both remembered and prayed for often. :)
BRAVO TO EVERY PASSENGER AS WELL OF COURSE! It sure sounds as though they were the perfect passengers to handle any crisis. Each probably had an angel from 911 by their side whispering guidance & comforting words to them, before ensuring ALL of their safety.
This man deserves special commendations for his life saving actions. I have the full most respect for this gentleman. The man is a true hero, a very very wonderful person. God Bless Him.
the women at the back deserved to die...how ungrateful can she be?complaining about a gash in her leg and how horrific the landing was...she should be happy it didnt crash...thank the pilot not complain..idiot.
@TheMrMuzzle Dude, the gash in her leg tore through the muscle. That's a deep damn cut, and there are a lot of important blood vessels in your legs. You could very easily die from blood loss and potentially never use the leg again, and don't forget, she had to deal with passengers who opened her door and caused water to rush in, which could have drowned people or caused hypothermia. Quit acting like she broke a nail and bitched about it, just because she lived doesn't mean it was smooth.
@TheMrMuzzle What makes you think she isn't grateful? She never said anything bad about the captain or the job he did, she just told a story that nobody else probably knew about. Is it being ungrateful to tell people it wasn't all rainbows and posies in some parts of the plane?
@Vidszhite oh for fuk sake....wether it wasnt rosie etc. the fact is she lived....the plane would have crashed had it been any other pilot (most likely)...what she is doing now is ungrateful....yes she may have been traumatized but it could have been much much worse...the plane lost both engines hence complaining about things that happened after landing is just straight out bitchy and plain stupid...
@TheMrMuzzle "I lived, therefore if I say it was scary because it was, and I almost drowned in the aftermath, I must be ungrateful." Honestly, dude, she didn't even know that she was going to live. The plane was sinking because of what some other dumbass did--talking about that isn't ungrateful. Have you ever been in a plane that almost crashed? Because if you weren't you can go ahead and shut your mouth. Even if you live and you're thankful for it, you're still going to be scarred for life.
@Vidszhite u dont get the point...is she gran btw??Ur so emotionally upset about it...listen to the interview again...shes so bitchy about it..if you want to tell ur story fine say it but theres a way of saying it..
@TheMrMuzzle Listen to who she's complaining about: not the captain, but the dumbasses who weren't listening and making life hell for her. When you're having a near death experience and a bunch of idiots are trying to get naturally selected, maybe taking you with them, you have a right to get frustrated.
@TheMrMuzzle Seriously, your saying she "DESERVED" to die!! The woman was obviously traumitized by the whole event. Also, the wonderful result of this accident is no one died, everyone got out alive, but that doesn't mean people won't suffer mentally because of it. Its pretty damn cold blood to say someone deserved to die, especially in this situation.
Thank God it was him with a level-head flying that plane rather than the flight attendants. Obviously, not just because he has been trained to fly, but because he was cool, calm and collect.
I am a pilot for United and our training program and theirs are the same. The FAA requires it. He lost both engines. That airplane became a glider. Capt. Sulllenger did everything perfect. An Ethiopian airline tried the same thing and everyone died. This person here has no clue what he is talking about.
@rodthepimp. Your aeronautical knowledge is equivalent to that of a middle schoolers'. I'm pretty sure that the copilot didn't mess up the auto thrust when trying to restart the engines. Do us a favor and lay off the pot, your way too paranoid. Plus, much to the dissatisfaction of many, the FAA is quick to announce when the cause is due to pilot error. Usually I wouldn't respond to this idiotic comment, but this is too much
i wish the lady that dident wear her uniform would just go home and cut her self....everyone is taking care of bussines and she just sat there and cried if i had my guess...........she says it was a different story in the back....yea bitch i bet it was way worse in the front...quit your crying and retire already!!!!!!!!!
@shaun17304 please take your negative comments elsewhere. the back of the plane hit first which meant at the speed they were going there would be a severe impact there. i'm sorry that you misunderstand that.
@cheerdynamics23 It actually would have been about the same on the landing, front or back. Yes the back hit first, but the front absorbed the majority of the speed. She was probably in the back with shit that wasn't strapped/locked down.
@Dremerend i know somebody who was on the flight in the front of the plane so i know what i'm talking about. but let's not make this a big deal and just be happy that everyone survived. =)
1997 i was flying from eygept to greece to canada i slept all the time and i woke three minuits before the landing i was looking through the window and seemed the plane waiting for run way to empty any ways when the plane landed i heard all passenger was cheering and clapping i think it was some thing wrong with plane nd i didnt know it due to my poor english
this is the reason I always feel so comfortable when I fly with serious US and British airlines that take safety issues seriously and have experienced and graciously aged crew.
i was travelling aboard an indian airliner last year and their air hostesses all looked like 19 year old tarts picked out of modelling catalogues.. we were telling each other, in cases of emergencies, they probably would be the first one to pass out....!

I think that this story lives on because it not only had a very happy ending, as opposed to the potential for death and disaster, but also because it brings out the best in people.
This saga brought out the best in everyone who was involved. The flight crew, the air traffic controllers, first responders and boat captains, as well as the passengers who cooperated so splendidly with the flight crew and rescue crews, are all deserving of recognition and admiration.
I think that Doreen might benefit from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy; other crew members might benefit as well. EMDR is an excellent tool for coping with PTSD.
These people are all heroes, but let us not forget the Port Authority 1st Responders, ferry boat pilots & personnel, air traffic controllers, and medical personnel who have given new meaning to the word "excellence".

You should give your chin chin a wipe, looks like you might have a little bit of Sullenberger goop about to drip.
I know, I know, looking at all your rebuttals looks like you'll have some self promoting intellectually superior response that in your own head will make perfect sence but to the masses your just a turd like the rest of us. Your posts are clearly aimed at argument and not logical banter.
Take " cornholes " advise and move out of your moms basement, incest in not healthy.
I know that there has been talk of making a movie based upon Cactus1549 and it's crew.
Leaves me to wonder who could really carry the role of captain Sullenberger. Clearly, he is a man of considerable intellect and talent. The problem is that he is as calm and unassuming as he is intelligent and talented. I'm not sure what actor could play the essence of the hero, while also carrying the low keyed essence of the man. Any thoughts??
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't believe the lack of situational awareness displayed by the flight attendants! The F/O's description of the bird-strike as a "hush of the engines" is very unprofessional!
The Capt transitioned from a power-flight to a power-off forced (controlled) landing text-book! However, the rest of the crew I would be insecure with another emergency!
Wow, great introspective 1st year flight student. Oh wow, this guy knows what F/O means, and "situational awareness." He must be some sort of rainman on this subject... I am guessing you fly planes. If I am right, that is probably why pilots get paid as little as they do today...
It would be "heros," plural, if you actually meant it grammar scholar. Next time you fly commercial, and crash into water, and walk away, TELL ME you wouldn't give the flight attendants a hug next time you saw them... (he's just another "pompous Pilot")
the USA pulling together to save lives.....from the crew to boats in the hudson.......sometimes the USA shines......god bless all who helped and godbless America.
Being the "expert" you claim to be, you are well aware that Capt. Sully was ultimately responsible for handling the emergency. He had to make a judgment call, and his performance was laudable. His actions and decisions have been carefully scrutinized, he's probably his own most severe critic, and his performance, as well as his crew's performance, was nothing short of outstanding. So, you've been in the airline industry for 15 years?? Your experience pales in comparison to Cat. Sully's.
13 thousand hours of experience in operations around the world. How would you know if my "experience pales in comparison to Cat. Sully's". Your assumptions about people are foolish.
Captain Sullenberger is an Air Force Academy grad, with over 40 years of flying experience, over 27,000 hours, (over twice as many hours as you claim to have!!) and he's served as an accident investigator for both NTSB and USAF. Compared to Capt. Sully, you're still a lightweight.
Stick to your FSX toy, and enjoy your fantasies of living as a legend in your own mind. We're not impressed by your grandstand quarterbacking.
Just reviewing your profile and by the looks of things you thoroughly enjoy arguing and trying to cut people down to your level. Guess that's how the term "religious nut" was born. Tell me, does it get lonely sitting up their on your throne maid of Bibles. Amazing how religion gives people the ability to assume and judge so harshly what they don't know. Guess that's why folks need that crutch in their lives.
You've only succeeded in making yourself look even more foolish. Facts fail you, your attempts to fault Capt. Sullenberger have failed, your claims of experience reveal that you have less than half his level of experience, so now you are reduced to sidestepping, engaging in personal attacks, and drag religion into the foray.
Guess what?? I'm not a Christian. I view the Bible as being a tome which is mostly comprised of religious fiction. I belong to no organized religion. I view organized religions as a major cause of problems, not the solutions to them. You've only made a bigger fool of yourself.
Now, let's get back on topic. I certainly hope your piloting skills exceed your "powers of discernment" about my religious beliefs!! Somehow, I seriously doubt that they do!!
Is this what it looks like when someone is crying into his computer? Your head is so far up your own ass I can't possibly have a rational debate with the likes of you.
Now, Kiss/Corn, if you are through with your little narcissistic cyber-tantrum, perhaps we can get this thread back on topic. Any rationale person can see that you are not fit to carry Captain Sullenberger's flight back.... much less serve as his critic.
"And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming."
Oh ya, pull your head out of your ass for one more thing, Mr Sullenberger has 19500hrs of flying time, not your claimed 27000hrs. Do the math moron. Your 27000hrs in 40yrs means he would need to fly 675hrs per year. Not possible if he spent time in the military and doing all those administration duties. You claim to be one of fact and assumptions. Nice try though. You should spend less time masturbating and more time actually understanding the facts and living life.

Is it procedure at US Airways that in the event of an emergency or a non normal situation, the captain grabs control and buries the F/O in the emergency or non normal checklist.
I'm sure most people who have read your comment understand now that this is procedure, as I do, a pilot in training...However...Just because someone is following procedure, it never ensures they have the ability, skill and cool-head, to get the aircraft down safely, then be the very last man off that aircraft, even as it's sinking slowly, to go back in there, and check for passengers.. That is what makes him a 'hero'. There have been others not so fortunate, who also followed 'procedure'
All do respect jlebesis, been in the airline industry for 15yrs and was quite shocked at the lack of reporting on the CREW performance. Everyone focused on the performance of ONE. The F/O has years of experience in the industry and procedure should have been followed. EMERGENCY CAPTAIN GRABS CONTROL???? NOT.
Despite your exceptional performance as a baggage handler for the last 15 years, I believe the result of Capt. Sullenberger's actions speaks for itself.
You are apparently unaware that "Dickinhishole" and "Kiss/Corn" loaded the luggage onto Cactus1549. Fortunately for the passengers of Cactus1549, their luggage arrived safely in Tuscon, Az.......... four days later!!
@supreme21 he's modest because he's full of shit. he fucked up and he knows that that's the ONLY reason why they landed in the Hudson. This guy has been banished from the airline industry. just look it up for yourselves!
@rodthepimp You're not good at trolling. Everything you just said is not only false, it's easily verifiable and common sense also screams that you're full of crap. I give you a 1/10 on this attempt.
@rodthepimp I'm a sheep because I went to verify what you said and found it you're completely wrong? You're either a liar or a very stupid person. Pick one.
@rodthepimp Wow, you are a dumb fucker. You are dissing Captain Sully for this? Are you shitting me? About the best pilot anyone could ask for, made all the right decisions and did them FLAWLESSLY. And you are saying that he fucked up? You know what, go fuck yourself. Sully has forgotten more about piloting than you will ever know.
@rodthepimp The FAA actually deemed it an unacceptable risk for him to have attempted to return to La Guardia. It was determined to be about a 10-20% chance of success, and the FAA said he did exactly what he should have done. So wherever you got your info from, it does not agree with the FAA's findings. BTW, conspiracy websites are not news sites and are not reliable sources of information.
@Dremerend is wikileaks a conspiracy too? Not everything you see is real. Smoke and mirrors everywhere. The reason he 'couln't' make it back to La Guardia is because he had the auto thrust on the wrong setting. The engines were capable of creating enough thrust. He just messed up royally. Of course they turn him into a hero. It's good for business! The last thing people need to know is that this was one of US Aviation's biggest cover up.
Sammy, you are american right? now I understand your comment, idiot answer from an american idiot...I imagine in stadiums, Pilot for President, , jajaja, tipical american pride....
It's not just American pride..it's celebrating the aversion of over 100 possible deaths. This man did actually save lives, because of his quick thinking and exprience, he is somebody people can look up to. And FYI, I'm not American.
I studied for years to do my job in my work, I have saved a lot of money for my company, and nobody is promoting me for president, why???? because is my job, is my obligation, I studied and I was training for years, mmm probably you are not from USA, probably you are from California...
Well then I say congratulations to you. The reason he is celebrated is because what he did has never, in the history of commercial aviation, been done so successfully. Furthermore, the Captain does not want all the recognition he is getting, he also said that he was just doing his job. I'm sure you would have quite a different opinion of this had you been a passenger on the plane. Finally, wow, read a map, California is in the USA, and I'm not from California.
Dont call Americans idiots. Sheesh. Have some manners will you? And I'm not an American. Its not very nice to say stuff like that when you should probably go look in the mirror yourself.

I think that Doreen might benefit from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy; other crew members might benefit as well. EMDR is an excellent tool for coping with PTSD.
These people are all heroes, but let us not forget the Port Authority 1st Responders, ferry boat pilots & personnel, air traffic controllers, and medical personnel who have given new meaning to the word "excellence".

I know that there has been talk of making a movie based upon Cactus1549 and it's crew.
Leaves me to wonder who could really carry the role of captain Sullenberger. Clearly, he is a man of considerable intellect and talent. The problem is that he is as calm and unassuming as he is intelligent and talented. I'm not sure what actor could play the essence of the hero, while also carrying the low keyed essence of the man. Any thoughts??

You clearly reflect the ignorance of a "wan-a-be," an individual that lets their frustrations manifest due to the inability of achievement!
You tried to "mask" it with your psuedo-intellect, however, your perceptability on this situation revealed who you really are!

I can't believe the lack of situational awareness displayed by the flight attendants! The F/O's description of the bird-strike as a "hush of the engines" is very unprofessional!
The Capt transitioned from a power-flight to a power-off forced (controlled) landing text-book! However, the rest of the crew I would be insecure with another emergency!
davidsholem 2 years ago
Wow, great introspective 1st year flight student. Oh wow, this guy knows what F/O means, and "situational awareness." He must be some sort of rainman on this subject... I am guessing you fly planes. If I am right, that is probably why pilots get paid as little as they do today...

Being the "expert" you claim to be, you are well aware that Capt. Sully was ultimately responsible for handling the emergency. He had to make a judgment call, and his performance was laudable. His actions and decisions have been carefully scrutinized, he's probably his own most severe critic, and his performance, as well as his crew's performance, was nothing short of outstanding. So, you've been in the airline industry for 15 years?? Your experience pales in comparison to Cat. Sully's.
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
13 thousand hours of experience in operations around the world. How would you know if my "experience pales in comparison to Cat. Sully's". Your assumptions about people are foolish.
kissthecornhole 2 years ago
Sounds a bit like sour grapes, Kiss/Corn!!
Captain Sullenberger is an Air Force Academy grad, with over 40 years of flying experience, over 27,000 hours, (over twice as many hours as you claim to have!!) and he's served as an accident investigator for both NTSB and USAF. Compared to Capt. Sully, you're still a lightweight.
Stick to your FSX toy, and enjoy your fantasies of living as a legend in your own mind. We're not impressed by your grandstand quarterbacking.

Just reviewing your profile and by the looks of things you thoroughly enjoy arguing and trying to cut people down to your level. Guess that's how the term "religious nut" was born. Tell me, does it get lonely sitting up their on your throne maid of Bibles. Amazing how religion gives people the ability to assume and judge so harshly what they don't know. Guess that's why folks need that crutch in their lives.
kissthecornhole 2 years ago
Kiss/Corn;
You've only succeeded in making yourself look even more foolish. Facts fail you, your attempts to fault Capt. Sullenberger have failed, your claims of experience reveal that you have less than half his level of experience, so now you are reduced to sidestepping, engaging in personal attacks, and drag religion into the foray.
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
"My throne made of Bibles, Kiss/Corn???
Guess what?? I'm not a Christian. I view the Bible as being a tome which is mostly comprised of religious fiction. I belong to no organized religion. I view organized religions as a major cause of problems, not the solutions to them. You've only made a bigger fool of yourself.
Now, let's get back on topic. I certainly hope your piloting skills exceed your "powers of discernment" about my religious beliefs!! Somehow, I seriously doubt that they do!!

Now, Kiss/Corn, if you are through with your little narcissistic cyber-tantrum, perhaps we can get this thread back on topic. Any rationale person can see that you are not fit to carry Captain Sullenberger's flight back.... much less serve as his critic.
"And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming."
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
Oh ya, pull your head out of your ass for one more thing, Mr Sullenberger has 19500hrs of flying time, not your claimed 27000hrs. Do the math moron. Your 27000hrs in 40yrs means he would need to fly 675hrs per year. Not possible if he spent time in the military and doing all those administration duties. You claim to be one of fact and assumptions. Nice try though. You should spend less time masturbating and more time actually understanding the facts and living life.

For someone with the piloting experience and expertise you claim to have, you exhibit magnificent grace under fire..... NOT!!

Is it procedure at US Airways that in the event of an emergency or a non normal situation, the captain grabs control and buries the F/O in the emergency or non normal checklist.
Hero??? what ever.
kissthecornhole 2 years ago
I'm sure most people who have read your comment understand now that this is procedure, as I do, a pilot in training...However...Just because someone is following procedure, it never ensures they have the ability, skill and cool-head, to get the aircraft down safely, then be the very last man off that aircraft, even as it's sinking slowly, to go back in there, and check for passengers.. That is what makes him a 'hero'. There have been others not so fortunate, who also followed 'procedure'
jlebesis 2 years ago
All do respect jlebesis, been in the airline industry for 15yrs and was quite shocked at the lack of reporting on the CREW performance. Everyone focused on the performance of ONE. The F/O has years of experience in the industry and procedure should have been followed. EMERGENCY CAPTAIN GRABS CONTROL???? NOT.

@rodthepimp The FAA actually deemed it an unacceptable risk for him to have attempted to return to La Guardia. It was determined to be about a 10-20% chance of success, and the FAA said he did exactly what he should have done. So wherever you got your info from, it does not agree with the FAA's findings. BTW, conspiracy websites are not news sites and are not reliable sources of information.
Dremerend 1 year ago
@Dremerend is wikileaks a conspiracy too? Not everything you see is real. Smoke and mirrors everywhere. The reason he 'couln't' make it back to La Guardia is because he had the auto thrust on the wrong setting. The engines were capable of creating enough thrust. He just messed up royally. Of course they turn him into a hero. It's good for business! The last thing people need to know is that this was one of US Aviation's biggest cover up.

mauricioperdomo 2 years ago
Well then I say congratulations to you. The reason he is celebrated is because what he did has never, in the history of commercial aviation, been done so successfully. Furthermore, the Captain does not want all the recognition he is getting, he also said that he was just doing his job. I'm sure you would have quite a different opinion of this had you been a passenger on the plane. Finally, wow, read a map, California is in the USA, and I'm not from California.
